1/4 Mile Times

[parso_rex]

Congratulations ferret I told you you'd get a 12.
Look at the mph a consistent 106, if your lucky one night you could maybe get a 12.8 I reckon

Awesome times Ferret.
Quick question, do you have the "new" APR Stage II+ software?
(It was released less than a month ago).

What version is the new Stage 2+? I think I have version 2.2 or something, can't quite remember but I got it done on the 14th March, exactly one month ago. The guys there told me I should get an email from APR if a new version is released....didn't get anything so not sure on that front...

Ferret given you've been there a few times did you run stock as well? The only stock DSG R time I could find was shakespeare (on 28.1deg ambient day) running 14.264@97.08mph which seems slow for a stock car.

Intereted to see if you had stock, stage 1 with bits and the current config?

Never done a stock run but I did do the following:

APR stage 1 + carbonio = 13.7 seconds

APR stage 1 + carbonio + Milltek turbo back + apr intercooler + apr fuel pump = 13.3 seconds

APR stage 2plus + carbonio + Milltek turbo back + apr intercooler + apr fuel pump = 12.96 seconds (last nights run)


Stock would have been good to get to see the increase in performance.

I don't know the technical specifics of what changed, but the midrange power delivery has improved A LOT, turbo spool up coming quicker now etc. There has been some discussion in the Tuning forum about how this "hole" in the power delivery meant that when power did come on, you'd get a nice kick in the back. But that means when customers then tried a custom tune where this area was improved, whilst the car was actually measurably faster, it "felt slower" because it's so much smoother you dont' get the "kick". That's how best to describe the new APR Stage II+ software released end of last month.

... but if there are more questions, we better take it to the tuning forum so this doesn't go further off topic.

Might call up european autotech and get some info on these updates....Need to break 11 seconds

If you got it through European Autotech, then I believe you may have an older version. I got it done on the 23rd (I think) and Derek said my R was the first that he'd applied the update to...

Just confirmed a new update was released on the 24th March, gonna head down tomorrow for the upgrade .....any other Stage 2 or equivalent cars plan on going down the 1/4? Would be interesting to compare results especially from other tunes (GIAC, custom ones etc)...

Can't do another 1/4 mile run for at least 5 weeks now because of future engagements Let's hope the new apr 2+ tune puts out some extra horses down the 1/4 mile....

Apparently there has been an increase in torque, but making overall same top power 194kW (old tune) 191kW (new tune revised tune).

[parso_rex]

It wil be interesting to see what power these 195 kw tuned cars put out at the dyno day this weekend

The revision on the Golf R has the same top end in HP & torque, just a lot of work done on the midrange where the fuel pump does a lot of its work, made it a lot smoother throughout.

Yep exactly as I thought.
