1/4 Mile Times

[Tim]

The ET isnt too shabby. AWD helping out a lot there.
Trap speed isnt overly exciting though. Tuned GTIs are trapping similar. Time to upgrade to stage 2+

Tuned GTIs which are manual or DSG?
Looking back in this thread, the trap time I posted is the quickest so far. I'm not educated enough to grasp the concept enough yet, but I believe that in the trap time, the manuals have the advantage, but then the DSG's gain some back when it comes time to shift.

But yes, Stage II+ (downpipe, fuelpump and intercooler) is being installed Monday, so tonight was my last chance to do this Stage I.

Unfortunately I only got 1 good run before it started to rain. I did 3 runs in total, but had a "interesting time" trying to get the DSG to let me rev from the line. If I held down the ESP button during pre-stage, the "rolling 1 foot" to staging would then stop me from being able to rev for the launch.... so my 2nd run was from idle, and my 3rd was from 2000rpm - boooo. The R "limits" you to 3000rpm, but I've found if you do a single rev, you can get it to 3500rpm prior to it "leveling out". I'll have to practise that more before going again

DSG I believe. Youre not looking close enough. I think the fastest ET I ever saw on a k03 powered mk5 GTI was a 13.7 or there abouts. Really hard to launch them right though.

MKV GTI DSG - APR Stage 2 Tune - Full APR exhaust - Carbonio - Whiteline RSB - 15 psi in tires - Roof racks and bike carrier - Foodworks fuel

60ft - 2.1877
ET - 13.8147
MPH - 101.58

Yeah - adzy's time is great!

I'll go back in a few weeks with the Stage 2+ and see how I go then. It won't be next week though cause I'll be watching the Daytona 500 with my mates

Easiest way to put it...

ET= Chassis.

MPH= Horsepower.

Mates? Now we know you're lieing!! Haha.

[Tim]

granted the Golf R is a little heavier than the GTI too. So that will have an effect on the trap speed.

There is an engine hp calculcator here that can work out how much power your car is making based on its total weight and your trap speed
Horsepower Design Equation Formula Calculator - Engine Horsepower Trap Speed Method

[Corey_R]

When you say "Trap speed" (in post #122), does that mean the speed at the end of the quarter mile?

Initially I thought it meant the 60' time - hence why I said no one else has posted anything quicker... (told you, I'm green!)

[Tim]

yep the trap speed is the speed your car is travelling when it finishes the 1/4.
Everyone always bangs on about the mph because its probably the most true way of equating how much power a car is making.

[shakespeare]

Yes, my very first 1/4 mile run EVER (like seriously... I didn't even know WSID wasn't the main straight of Eastern Creek until getting there this afternoon!).
time, mph, 60ft, car, engine, mods, weight if known, tyres, username

13.61 @ 99.27mph, 2.07 60ft, 10' R 3 door, 6 sp DSG, 2.0TFSI, APR Stage 1, 98 ron, stock weight (with basically all the R options), Stock R 18" wheels with the standard Bridgestone RE050A tyres 35psi, Corey_R


Thanks for your help and advice tonight Sammy125TDi

Great time mate, out of interest how many kms has your R got now?
