Razor80 Stage 3 Allspace R Build

[iDiesel]

Yeah, I think VW must know they could shift some Tiguan R models - there's certainly demand.
I presume it'll be the SWB, and maybe not the Allspace though.
One can only hope

So I thought I'll test this Dragy device, since I've it arrived 6 days ago and it was yet to be used.
Just a quick play around today and no launch control used in these 0-100 results. Ground surface is bitumen and quite flat.

1st run - 6.12sec in "D" + tyres slighty damp (quick wash) curved road.
2nd run - 5.23sec in "S" tyres still damp and span in 1st
3rd run - 4.56sec in "S" tyres now warm.

So far really pleased with those results especially for a big suv. Be really interesting once I actually (gain the courage) to try using LC.

Think I most likely need to invest in some springs, front end just lifts, while the rear digs deep! Once off the line its somewhat fine but a little boaty as the beast just wants to keep going!!
Anyone have any recommendations H&R or Eilbac, or are there others? Definitely a track day for me or dragstrip once this is done, if there are any are coming up?

Oil temps stays around 104-107C normal driving, racemode it peaks to 110C and I don't want it about that! Would definitely need an oil cooler of some sort if any have an recommendation?

Oh btw - I now changed my Turbosmart Dual port DV as it had a faulty solenoid and kept releasing too much pressure or got stuck open so momentarily lost all boost! After 2 of these I decided with there diverter valve instead and got to admit it does sound better and ultimately I've noticed less lag but I could be imagining this... So far so good, it's working well.

This is why I've decided to get the Racingline Oil Cooler. It's expensive, but my aim is to keep this car for a while so I want things to last.

My thoughts exactly, it's also my daily family car and have no intention on selling it anytime soon.

What would all consider normal oil temp range 100-115c? I read somewhere some get more after hard thrashing around 125c, sounds extreme too me! What is the optimum temp once an oil cooler is fitted, climate pending?

[Tob35]

The newer oils don't mind a bit of temperature. I wouldn't be concerned in the slightest at 125s

The oils not really my concern, more engine being cooled and lubricating the all required components efficiently and effectively.

If a cooler maintained temps to around 95-100c would this be a negative impact on the oil being too weight or velocity?

Read just about this whole thing. Just awesome. Nice big SUV that moves like that.. what a sleeper!

Clearly I'm getting older but it's amazing what new cars do with some bolt on's.

Great work so far Razor80 !

MQB seem to run over 100 degrees normally.

My MK6 R ran low 90's

[Boosted_GP]

From experience of years of tracking cars this is my take.

90+ deg is minimum.
Sub 115 is probably ideal for daily driven street cars and street use. No matter the mod level.

120-130 (intermittent) is starting to get to the limit of the service intervals lifespan. And is not ideal for road use as the motor is running hot and cooling is struggling to maintain equilibrium

Anything close to 150 is not ideal (in my eyes) for any car. Even heavily tracked cars even with very short oil change intervals.

At 160 + oil starts to rapidly break down. And the lubricating properties are starting to be compromised (here is reference to the usual 0w50 type thin oils)

Thanks REXman - Yes it's quite impressive what some bolt ons and good tuning can achieve. It certainly suprises those 'boy ricers' out there, just a quick blast in 2nd gear and cya haha
