Polo Dyno Day - 9th August!!

[GT3]

I would also seriously look into getting some production widebody kits made to cover 30-40mm wider tyres!

Might be a good idea bc Jason's now a mission to build a ballistic Pog with MBC running 30psi !! He's pushing big power now and is aiming for mid-13s. He's even keeping his car dirty so it looks intimidating, nasty and constantly ready for action

hahahaha ....he's definitely succeeding in that department, he even left the number from the drags on his rear left window . "f**k washing, i'm here for speed "

No1 mention widebody kits to me please Besides unless they are carbon fibre wont they add more weight? lmao

[GT3]

he even left the number from the drags

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the dyno operator was startled when he opened Jason's bonet and noticed his engine cover which read "I did it my way" ..hahaha

[jasn78]

No he was startled by the Cat stuck outa the turbo.

Hi Guy
Could you just print a list of car/mods/power?
Cheers

Len I think Guy has a list coming for that

This is what we wrote down - now on a couple of cars - we intentionally tried to heatsoak the intakes: so on some we ran 4 times, some just 3:

The Stock run we didnt count of Rhy's car, but two stock Polo's run equalled 93kw & 95kw (no mods)

Base line stock = 95kw

Rhy's (APR only) 123.8 / 120.9 / 103.4 / 102.5 (heatsoak test)

Sam (APR + APR downpipe only) 131.6 / 130.5 / 130.4 / 130.4

Eddy (APR / Full Exhaust / APR Intercooler / Seat intake & K&N)
135.7 / 133.1 / 131.5 / 135.1 (heatsoak test)

Dave Mack (APR + Seat intake + K&N)
123.1 / 119.8 / 116.9 / 118.7

Johan (APR + seat intake + homebrew intercooler)
128.5 / 128.0 / 128.9 / 126.9

Jason (Oettinger + seat intake + homebrew full exhaust + Intercooler)
126.3 / 126.2 / 130.9 / 132.0

Now also Rhy's car had a dual port blow off thingy that had thrown a code (and threw a code under full boost) but it did not effect outright HP.

Dave & Rhy's car had near identical outputs before we heatsoaked them.

As the Polo's fuel control is so good, you could see the A/F's change with the heat, and the IC cars were getting richer & richer (same boost) and giving near 1st run Power.

Jason's car actually made more power hot than cold (dumped more fuel in), but we need to look into the logs why - his car is so wacky, even the valve caps don't match

Will be a busy week here this week, but hope to have some comparison fuel / timing / boost logs out soon!

[DaveMack]

So basically ... the chipped Polo with minor mods (SEAT intake, etc.) will give approx. the same output figures as a standard Golf GTI ... with 150 less kilos to drag around.

Correct - and also with 30mm less rubber on the road per corner (think of the drag friction - not the wheelspin!)
