the diesel you "raced" against was prolly remapped, therefore had similar power figs but a sheet load more torque

200hp is nothing anymore


another spectic, 200bhp is nothing! 1.9tdi 200bhp 300lbs/ft in a car wieghing 1200 nothing i suppose how about still getting 45mpg easily, nothing any more! performance of a 1.8T and ecomony better than a 1.2 nothing i suppose!

sorry knickers in a twist! :doh:

Not much point in doing that, that torque calculation within VAGCOM is based off a standard car and isn't to be relied upon anyway.

I'd double check what the MAF is seeing now anyway, if your car isn't revving as freely as it was in trial mode then I'd turn down the timing a little.
 
So the torque value is useless? This is not changed even though remapped? Irrelevant of which remap you have?

in the scheme of things, a 200hp hatch just isnt deemed quick anymore, it was ten years ago, now you can buy them ten a penny.

the game has moved on, 200mph car for under £65k these days (M5)

part of the remap process used by most obd tuners changes the preset torque tables that the ECU bases that calculation off, rendering the figure irrelevant
 
300bhp+ is the new king of benchmarks for the hot hatch.

Never forget though that having it is one thing, being able to drive it well and put the power down is something else (remember the Fiesta ST beat the LCR's time round Anglesey test track - 5th Gear ;) )
 
i raced my brothers remapped mk3 cupra to silly speeds in my standard diesel mk4 cupra not much in only reason he didnt go by me was his ecu pulled the car back in 5th gear prob got to hot cant wait to get mine remapped already annoyed alot of cars round my area u just have to give credit to the sootys

shut it you and you bloody great big BHP's ;) !!!

Maybe the figure for the new year should be based on bhp/tonne?

yes that would be good... for me too :)
ibiza is shedding all sorts of weight.

down to 1000Kg and 400bhp

anybody recommend a good rolling road i can take it to near the herts area?


PTS in Luton will do you a power runs for about £40 ;)

I have used them for my last 4 cars which were fitted with a Unichip :)

Noticed it very much last night that i cant escape a 1.9PDi MK4 once it is remapped

well it is a cupra!! and i was holding back!! :p

bet it wouldn't touch mine through and flashbsd would tell you that :p my car is faster then flashbsd car and its jabba'd and he knows that :D
 
yeah - I'd try that again now he's not got his timing a little too high.

maxes the turbo out & holds boost nicely :)
