Cupra 290ez Dyno Results

[RCampbell1]

An interesting trip to my local dyno emporium today. My cars totally stock as far as I'm aware, got it with 1200 miles on it from a main dealer so I'm pretty sure it is. It's got a smidge over 3000 on it as we speak. Quite chuffed

Apologies for the orientation of the scan

I’ll find out what mine is at one point and I’ll be really surprised if it only makes 280 as advertised.

Wow,almost too good to be true those readings.i thought the gpf might restrict it more than this

 

[zedlor]

Impressive for completely stock, I too thought the GPF would limit power more than that...

 

[A9BNL]

What is the GPF? That’s a brilliant result, more power than a golf R

 

[Nora2004]

500nm? That's extremely high numbers for a stock car!

Gasoline partical filter, Golf of the same year would make the same power, its the same engine, plus every dyno would give a different result, you'd need a standard 280, 290, 300 and 290 gpf, ran on the same dyno to have any idea of what they really make, even then you would only know the difference between the models, not what they really make

Agreed, the torque reading is well out

The whole torque curve looks very weird, normally these engines make peak torque early and hold it nearly all the way through, that drops off a cliff!

Was just about to write the same haha! I'd like to know what gear they ran it in, the figures and dyno plot are all over the place

 

[RCampbell1]

Hmm valid points indeed, guess I'll have to have it on a different dyno to compare. Good excuse for a road trip in the Cupra as the next nearest one is over 200 miles away

Agree it well off. A remap boasts about 480nm on stage 1. Yours claims it’s got more torque than an rs3

Hard to believe isn't it. Surely I'm not the first person to put one of the GPF Cupra's on a dyno? Maybe they're all pumping out numbers way over stock? I'm going to get it on a different dyno asap

There is way over stock and daft figures, do you know what gear they ran it in, I've not looked at the 7speed box ratios yet to see which would be best

No I've no idea. They are crazy figures for sure but don't burst my bubble!

Someone else needs to get theirs done too

Are there even any remaps available for these yet?

It’s pretty much same engine as the 280, 290 and 300. Can’t expect much to change. But based on those 3 models, they all roughly top 350hp and around 480nm from a stage one.
I’d be very shocked if it’s those are stock figures having decreased from 300 to 290 for emissions. More power means higher emissions.

I was under the (probably mistaken) impression there weren't many remaps available yet as they had to factor the GPF into the maps. I had a look a wee while back and none of the majors (Revo, APR) seem to have a map available yet but you can get a dtuk box

Is this dyno a good one?
500nm+ is normal for stage 2.
Gpf cars usually make around 300/400 on stock software
