I was out in the RS3 yesterday for a quick run out to McDonald's :D and on the way back drove down a nice quiet and freshly laid tarmac national speed limit road. Obviously this was no drag strip official timing or did I have my Dragy in toe, but it was rude not to have a quick blat and I...

So, after picking the car up on the Monday I was invited (like on the day of the event) to attend Mission Motorsports inaugural "Launch Control" event on the following Saturday. When I say "on the day" I mean I was out in the car already on Saturday morning and got a text to go over, so I...

For the moment this is where my RS3 8V.1 will be. 654bhp on the GTX3582 GEN2, on 99oct fuel and sub 1.5bar of boost at peak power. We are now all out of fuelling capacity but at a safe level on stock DI (it did make 675bhp but turned down slightly for safety on the fuelling side). This project...

So.... LOBA HPFP fuel pump has been fitted and the car was put back on the dyno Wednesday evening for a quick sanity check. I think we can say fuelling is back and what a difference it has made! Just a sneak peak at some interesting info so far. 622bhp at the current rev limit of just under...

This setup is definitely fighting me at every opportunity! We’ve now fitted the GTX3582R GEN2 and VIS HPFP wouldn’t play ball. Fuel pressure was dropping to 105-110bar so didn’t allow us to use anymore than 1.3bar boost. LPFP and injectors were fine via logs and it appears to be the VIS HPFP...

Sorry.... it's been a while so time to update this thread. There's been a MASSIVE change in direction but here's an overview of progress: September 2018 So, I had previously alluded to going a bit mental with Stage 3 and that ended up with the decision to pull the engine and forging it. The...

I was told but can't remember precisely..... under a grand though so not expensive. Assuming a car is stock or not too highly modified, they should last a long time tbh.

Around 550ftlb / 750nm is apparently what you don't want to be exceeding to maintain longevity. This information is from Iroz. Personally I prefer as flat a torque curve as possible, and based on the calculations you can achieve over 700bhp whilst remaining within these kinds of torque levels...

I've been using Litchfield for many of my projects for over 12yrs now and for me, they have never let me down and always delivered the goods. My previous Subaru's have delivered the goods, my previous A45 with their tuning achieved the quickest 1/4m in the UK and so has my current Stage 2 RS3...

That time of 3.2s is with 1ft rollout enabled.

Leo, I know what 1ft roll-out means and does. You're not the only one who has been doing this for over 10 years. I know it doesn't count the first foot. I never dispute that. I also ALWAYS state that I have 1ft roll-out on where applicable. I'm not hiding anything. I thought you were...

Perhaps you should tell every car magazine that and nearly every other tester out there that use the 1ft rollout feature. 1ft rollout IS accurate...... if it wasn't then my drag slips and vbox runs wouldn't match (as they do). Care to explain to me technically why 1ft rollout on these VBOX's...

Car is fine. Just waiting to pick it up now as it's been converted to Stage 3 with a Hybrid EFR turbo. Over 500bhp. :sm4: Should get it back by the weekend........ then it's VBOX time again! :salute:

Yeah... off a cliff maybe!!! :haha: I have a few log files from Stage 1 REVO tunes and they are no where near that time. More like a corrected time of 9.8s. My car achieved 8.9s 100-200kmh (at the drag strip). I'm not aware anyone has beaten that..... and for the state of tune, fuel, full...

There's so much crap out on the net you REALLY need to be careful what you judge/use as data. VBOX is amazingly accurate but data MUST BE corrected for slope (unless the road is extremely flat) for accuracy. At 450bhp my Stage 2 RS3 8V could repeatedly achieve a VBOX corrected time of 3.2s...
