This is a very boy racer type question...
My stage 1 a3 2.0 tfsi running 260 bhp and 279lbs ft torque vs stock s3 in a straight drag.. Who wins?
Any s3 owners in east Anglia?
Thanks gents, bit of a 'Gary boy' question but was interested, just need to find an s3 to drag, there arnt too many round these parts..
Just my opinion but isn't your car 6.9seconds ish 0-60 standard? S3 is 5.5 ish. I know you'll have roughly the same power as the s3 stock but I never though a simple remap could take off that much of a chunk on the 0-60 times.
Just logged in using my normal browser and can see your sig now. Yours is quattro too. It's S3 all the way then.
Also how accurate are your figures?? Sounds like a big gain from just a stage 1.
Dyno was recalibrated before as mine was on after a stage 2+ s3
What about an tdi 170 bhp with a remap vs stock s3? Since the torque figures are better on diesel
I believe that you are accurate about what the printout says, it's the dyno that I'm questioning. An extra +60bhp from a remap alone sounds a lot to me.
Did you get a 'before' reading also?
No before reading but the dyno is defo ok they've got a 200k set up soundproofed room amazing to watch.. The s3 stage 2+ made 336 quite conservative so dyno is reading right I think.. Mines had a lot of tweaks as I said on the map and I've got a very good tuner who has a tfsi himself so knows the engines well.
Guess all that's left is for you to find an S3 to have a tear up with then...
It's a very different animal to when I bought it, found it a bit boring compared to other cars I've had at first. Had it mapped conservatively first and it made a huge difference, since pushing the map harder its a very quick car, there isn't much I come up against that will come close to it. 4th 5th and 6th are amazing it pulls like a train.
I think an s3 would have it eventually but I don't think there would be much in it.. Ko3 runs out of steam quicker than the ko4 so it would come down to the driver I think off the line I think I'd have the advantage as the boost comes in quicker.. But I'm not to keen on dropping my clutch in first!
Keen to find a stock s3
Think is though, the S3 has a better engine, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, bumpers, seats. Its not just the speed in a straight line that differentiates them.
If you stick an S3 badge on it you will go even quicker
Having owned both Ko3 quattro mapped up and a standard when 1st got S3 i still think the S3 has a big difference what would show in a rip up,the torque on the KO4 gives you a lot more stronger pull definately,i was told my stage 1 map on my ko3 will give it around 245-260 and it was dyno'd at 248 without the evoms filter fitted so that may have knocked it up to around 250-255 with it been more free reving but the Ko4's are a different animal IMO
bit of OT, ads liking your rocco r. how good is it? any mods on it?
