Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 Golf R

**Scuby_snax84** · 06-08-2011, 04:37 PM

Ok so Im getting my full tbe exhaust and Intake fitted in the next couple of weeks along with the stage 2 APR ecu upgrade.

I thought I would get before and after dyno readouts to see the gains these modifications made to the car. At the moment the car has APR stage 1 tune and everything else is stock. The car got run up on Advanced Performace Centre's dyno yesterday and made 160.5kw at all four wheels. Once the stage 2 modifications have been done I will post up the results.

Will post the Stage 1 dyno graph on Monday when i get to the scanner at work

Excellent. Will be great to see the gains from Stage 1 to Stage 2.

Which TBE and intake will you be installing?

I am fitting the APR Carbonia Intake, and a custom made Exhaust. Its a 3inch bellmouth design DP with 200cell CAT and 3inch CB with 2 small rear mufflers. (All S/S) The shop who is doing it are a very reputable exhaust shop. One of the best in Australia. They make plenty of exhausts for race cars/boats etc.

Is it me or does that figure of 160.5kwatw seem low for a Stage 1?

Would have to see a stock reading to know. Could be a low reading dyno. Will be interesting to see the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 though.

I asked the tuner afterwards if the dyno read tough or what. He told me that it reads accurate. He commented that alot of tuners dont get their dynos calibrated regularly and don't set them up properly.

I have had my previous cars on this same dyno with low readouts also, so I sort of expected a low figure.

Other question is how long had you been running the tune before doing the dyno. Most say it takes a few hundred km's for the computer to fully adapt. Would also recommend that you get some km's on it after getting the next tune but before dynoing.

Yeah I will definately be putting some k's on it before the next dyno run. As for this one the car has had it for 6000km+ so I'd say its well and truely adapted

Here is the dyno graph.
