Remapped LCR vs Hybrid TDI??

You seem to be, yes.
I apologise for the 'these days' comment, it is an old engine and not particularly refined.... so -ahem- does it make it easier to swallow that an old & unrefined diesel is really rather impressive in a tuned state when pitted against a tuned LCR?

Mines a pd150 fr+
The video I posted shows the flaws of a diesel vs a petrol.
Also my answers are based upon the thread question.
Like some one above stated gear ratios have a big affect like a maped ibiza pd130 mapped to 175bhp
Vs a standerd pd160 ibiza Cupra the Cupra would still take the drag even through the pd139 would have more bhp more torque and same waight but a diffrent ratio.
Too Meny things come into drags to tell but the tdi is very very underestermated these days

My first was merely an analogy, the second a retort to your comment. Proof is in the pudding after all Mr Bickerton - OP & his pal should get the work done and show us the result.
My last car was a golf gt tdi 130 remapped to 180 and was fast, now I have a stock lcr 225 and I would say from 30 mph onwards it would be pretty close, if anything the golf would have it. Quite dissapointed in the lcr thought it would be a lot more than it is.
Would be a lot closer. Would depend on the situation. Ultimately the LCR would be faster, but not hugely so
I went up against on at York race way a few weeks ago but somthing on its engine have way on the track so it didn't finish I was very upset I did race a mk4 r32 golf and beat that up the strip then my final and thrid race lost to a dam D reg nova red top in my stage 1 ibiza Cupra tdi
in my stage 1 ibiza Cupra tdi

I dont make that out from the graph at all?
Id say the diesel holds the power better
It's peaked at around 2.5 revs and drops off, the cupra line is quite straight till 7k so holds power without dropping out
Your looking at the wrong line!
Thats the torque line
The Bhp line is gradual and builds up throughout the rev range!
Still holding 280lb/ft at peak bhp which is impressive
And to my eye my old octy used to tail off after 5k (which the graph shows) although this is due to running the standard downpipe, but for a mapped 180 stock and a mapped 150tdi stock its a good comparison to what you'd get

I'm yet to be convinced! I managed 42 MPG on a long run at 75mph so more than happy. If I did loads I would probably switch back to the dark side.
