Sharkie's TSI Amarok Build

[Transporter]

I've fitted the same camera to mine, and unless the camera is defective (which I doubt), the image quality is far from the VW RVC as we have in our Tiguans. So, unless you're on a very, very tight budget, do yourself a favour and spend a little bit more and get the VW one.

I don't know Miro, I am quite happy with the quality of the image, but then I don't have an OEM VW camera to compare to. For my purposes (and probably for most people) I think these are just fine especially since the price is so low .... $100 including shipping compared to at least $400 for an OEM VW lowline camera.

Got any details on the amarok reverse camera?

Looks promising. Stage 1 35kw increase?. Whats stage 2 and what will it incorporate?

214HP is 160kw .... At the wheels ..... So about 200kw on the engine, ~ 88kw increase ...... It is a lot of fun

Your Amarok is FWD am I right? i.e. no 4WD in petrol?

So comparison between your car and the Stage 2+ Roc is probably not too strange as they both have the similar drivetrain.

My bad, your power figures thread confused me with 125kw output on hubdyno. I take it this latest is in a rolling road dyno?
125kw (std)atw- hub dyno
160kw(stage1)atw- rolling road?
200kw guesstimate at engine.
.
Which ever way it's still a good result

Was the Scirocco seriously down on Power?

I would have though a stage 2+ Roc would have been 200+kWaw given that it is running a K04.

I'd be interested to see the rest of the results to put the numbers into context.

Yes, rolling road DynoDynamics dyno. Petrol Amarok is RWD and had some issues with wheelspin on the dyno (given that they probably weren't expecting this sort of power from an Amarok, strap down initially may not have been too tight) and ABS interrupting proceedings. Way to many variables to be taken too seriously on a rolling road ...... also no fans for cooling were used ......

As a bonus (not) the Amarok's wheels (18" 255s) weigh over 40kg each so wheels dyno will read quite a bit lower than hub dyno by a fair margin.

For a stg 2 Scirrocco R to only have 21HP more, I'm pretty happy ..... heard mumbles about the dyno reading low, but don't care, was happy with the result.

For a beta stg1 tune with nothing else done, the results are awesome.

Stg 1 Hub dyno figures will be released when the tune is finalised.
