More Power!

[Lito]

Hi guys, just wondering is it possible to push power at the fly to around 200kw without installing a hybrid turbo and if so reliable for some occasional track day and spirited driving??

I don't think you'd be able to get anywhere near that with the std turbo

Especially on a 1.4
The 1.8's needed stage 3 to crack the 200kw mark from memory.

This one only cracked 270bhp at the crank with Loba hybrid and water meth

Hurdy's Polo GTI..time for a new project!!

200kw from a street-engine 1.4 would be very impressive, if you found an effective way to do it without re-engineering half the engine, I think you'd end up with a rev-range point where the supercharger is maxed and the turbo is not yet spooling well.

For that sort of coin, you then are going to need to address the traction issues with a LSD (I'd have about 140-150 atw and this is a reason I'm not looking for more), so there goes another grand for the LSD before you fit it, etc.

2 options;
- Be crazy and be prepared to empty your pockets with unknown results
- Buy a used R for around 40-45k and have more power and traction to suit.

Then he sold it for and R

After spending 2 days with a Phase 2 R this week, I can fully understand that action!

For those that have a stage 2 tune , how much power at the crank would the 1.4 engine push out?

[gavs]

I'd say figures of around 170-180kw and 320nm would be close... Guy would know best though. There isn't that many stage 2 polos getting around!

What is involved as a stage 2 on the 6R?
Not listed on APR website.

I've been looking for an Australian Dyno of a Stage 2, does one exist? I don't like many of the foreign ones, they seem to read a lot higher than the local ones (or there is something fundamentally wrong with running a car in the southern hemisphere)

I know tuning companies use different terminology about what constitutes a phase, but I think the APR GTI made 161kw at the wheels with turbo upgrade. At least that's what I remember James telling me out at QR a while ago so pretty spot on Gavs.
