PD 130 remap vs PD160 remap ?

[DIESELDAVE]

Got a few questions as im on the look out for a cupra tdi...

Is there much difference from a standard Cupra TDI & a remapped 130 in terms of performance (not handling).

Is there much difference from a remapped cupra tdi & remapped 130 ?

I have just sold my remapped fabia vrs by the way and have owned a cupra tdi but that was back in july 04 and cant really remember !

Cheers...for info i dont need to know the difference in the engines just outright acceleration please .

Standard cupra tdi is quicker than standard 130, more power, more grunt.

Remapped 160 is quicker than remapped 130, more power, more grunt.


The cupra is 7 secs to 60, 130 is 9 secs to 60, quicker but by not alot when remapped, down to driver...

160 is faster than a 130

The remapped 130 will be quicker than standard cupra, I should know, I beat one the other day

 

[rashcupra]

130 remapped to 170-180 will beat a STANDARD cupra 160

[Ad Lav]

He he! Love it!

 

[rashcupra]

even tho i did 340miles to 1 tank the other day and that was witha few blasts! bye bye clio v6 bye bye mk5 R32

 

[DIESELDAVE]

isnt the traction much better in the cupra then normal 130s..remapped 130s wheelspin all over the show .another question then does the cupra handle the power better than the remapped 130s..in terms of traction ?

 

[Ad Lav]

Cupra has ESP TCS and ABS 130 only has TCS and ABS

Depnds on tyres really mate, mine has no issues with wheelspin, unless its wet and i'm in a hurry!

A remapped 130 might have a bit more power and might beat a 160 in a short straight line race but the 160 would still be the better handling/looking car with better brakes plus with it`s large FMIC it would be able to hold it`s power when the engine gets hot unlike the 130 with the small SMIC which suffers from heat soak. So on a track/road race a 160 would still beat a remapped 130.

 

[Ad Lav]

Probably right there mike, have to spend a bit more money getting a 130 to beat the 160, FMIC, Brakes, Suspension, Remap etc etc

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Also a remapped 130 makes about 175ish bhp well my stock 160 made 172bhp on two different RR so there would not be much in it more down to the driver.

Not sure about that mikey i have raced a cupra over about 12 roundabouts and he was easily 8-10 seconds behind me and that was on a hot day how much torque does a standard cupra have?? prob no-where near 314ft/lb

 

[Ad Lav]

243lb ft, like mike said, driver ability...
