wats ur 0-60?

 

[redlinemike]

if it has 130hp its the same power maybe more than the 1.8 16v which is 8.6 seconds, standard 2.0 8v is 9.4 seconds with 115hp, and the 2.0 16v is 7.6 @ 150hp

Mines has 140bhp & 140 Ibft from an agg with an exhaust & butchered air box

goes like stink

even better ive changed the box n found one thats slightly lower geared than before

wats ur 0-60?

have no idea tbh,have to check it as have a straight run near me that could easily do a 1/4 mile on i reckon as well, stopwatch at the ready haha!

 

[vngtx]

i timed mine just by counting in my head when i pulled onto a 60 road. didnt help having my tool box in the boot.

 

[beezertart]

so you were effectively already moving or did you actually stop and then go from a standing start??

 

[vngtx]

stop just after id pulled out then put foot down but didnt push it hard enough to spin wheels and it redlined at 4k in 1st which probably adds half a second.

Shouldnt be redlining in at 4k more like 5500, the 8v is usually good for at least 120bhp but many run still more than that standard. I certainly cant tell the difference between my old 16v and my 8v at anything sub 80mph, just run out of puff at the top end.

I'll get the part number off the pipe when i get the gti back tomorrow.

thanks mate will be greatful for it!

 

[vngtx]

i cant understand at all why it redlines at 4k in first but about 6k in all other gears.

Something dodgy going on, have you given it a full service with new oil + filter, air filter, spark plugs and leads etc.

mate your missing a lambda sensor, and god knows what else lol
so that's probably why
have you got an airbox or induction kit?

Well if you want to bring it to the chesterfield meet and compare 8v's then be my guest

its got induction kit sticking through the wheel arch.

Not even my 1.4 redlines at 4k in first!! Its round about 5.5k (roughly) that it redlines.

I need a breather pipe for my 1.4 aswell come to think about it.

 

[cupra-8v]

the product code for the breather pipe for a 2.0 8v is 037103493AK thats from vdub, the product code should be written on the pipe itself and should be easy to read

 

[vngtx]

i managed to salvage my pipe and fit it back in with silicon.

when i bought my ibiza it would redline at 5300 in everygear but its turns out that some clot had fitted the tiiming belt incorectly & mistimed the aux drive for the dizzy so the cam sensor & crank sensor were seing 2 different things, reset the timing & all good 6500 rpm here we come
