remapping

[rashcupra]

lightened flywheel isnt the answer if a quite steady tickover is wanted. my cupra if driven hardish the lighter flywheel causes the shafts in the gear box to rattle SLIGHTLY

Mates Golf GTI sounded very lumpy on idle, bit like a Stukka, but when it got to 3500rpm WOW!

Can't believe there is another 2.0 8V owner at last! I have been looking into re-mapping mine for some time custom code charge around the 500 mark for a 10bhp increase which considering what the tdi's get isn't worth it at all. I have got a K&N filter in mine and hasn't made a huge difference. Advice from many told me to stay away from induction kit. I agree full exhaust system would help but not sure about cams! Your car should be the same as mine so 115bhp.

Good luck with the modding I am working a few exterior mods first and then see what it happens. If you find any good deals let me know!

 

[rashcupra]

why not cams?

 

[mattcogg1981]

Just don't know anything about them that's all! Don't know of anyone who has done it!

How much was your sachs clutch bud?

Mine was £406 from JBS, I went in on that group buy they did for members on here, think they usually retail for about £500ish? Still not got it fitted, need to pull my finger out and get it sorted! Will prob be ordering a full milltek next week so will try and do them at the same time!

Thanks for sortin bonnet bra mate, cant wait to get it on n c what it looks like!

Anyone got uprated cams fitted on here!

well going back to the days that I owned a mini cooper I had a k+n filter, straight through single box 2 inch zorst, high lift scatter cam, twin 1.5 inch su charbs, lightened and balanced flywheel and that was RR,d at 98 bhp

not bad for a 75 bhp 1275cc engine, tick over was quite lumpy but it rev'd to 8k no probs

I would say that the cam and the flywheel made by far the most difference

sadly it needed a stronger gearbox but hey it was good fun to drive
