Top Speed with Revo

[redcupratdi]

And an Ibiza TDI is 1150kg??

cupra tdi is 1215kg

no i got organic plate really nice better feel than stock. and changes through gears are ace.

 

[Ric 2001]

A Focus ST weighs 1317kg, not 1850kg.

Looked at Total Mass and not jerb weight

Still ST doesn't weight 1317kg its 1392kg on a 3 door or 1437kg on a 5 door.

And an Ibiza TDI is 1150kg??

Cupra TDi on Seat website says... 1215kg

Even still, thats some awesome power on a re-map. Think ill be heading that way very quickly then.....like 2-3weeks

 

[R1dd1ck]

i got a 14.43 1/4mile with just a remap, and a 0-60 of 6.2secs.

that was with standard clutch think 6secs and 14.3 is possible on a strip with my new clutch.

top speed is around 140 due to the close ratios, it simply revs out above 135 but you get there alot faster

Was this remap on a standard engine? no other modifications at all?

 

[Ric 2001]

Thats a TDi though.... more torque.

 

[R1dd1ck]

So the tdi is actually quicker than a petrol cupra on a remap? This torque thing is confused me now.

 

[Ric 2001]

TDi have more torque but less BHP but I think the peak torque and rpm are low down the rev range, therfore achieving there max sooner than a petrol.

So when a TDi has reached it maximum output a petrol could be 2/3 thirds of the way to its max power, then the desiel will require a gear change to restart the power band while the petrol can keep going until it reaches it max power, this is why TDi's have a lower rev range compared to a petrol.

Thats how I see it.
Probably wrong.
Would be better if I had a graph.

 

[R1dd1ck]

So basically, the petrol is slower due to the diesel having the torque early on, unlike the petrol, meaning it will get to 60 quicker, on a remap that is. I no standard they are 0.3 or something slower. which is nothing really. that comes onto the drivers expertise.

 

[R1dd1ck]

Ok, so come someone explain what the difference is between having your car revo'd and having it remapped? Please?

 

[Ad Lav]

Same thing, Revo is just one of many manufacturers that offer remaps

 

[scooby slayer]

and if anybody wants to reduce the weight of there cars at all i know a company that will make anything out of carbon fibre, all your bumpers bonnets,boot, wings even doors and wheels, so if you guys want to reduce the weight for better power to weight let me know and i will find out prices

Mine was GPS'd at 150 odd mph by the previous owner on the autobahn.

 

[R1dd1ck]

Sweet!!! shame we don't have them over here.

 

[gazjones]

petrol vs tdi tdi has more torque yes thats pulling ability. but because its got more than the petrol dosent mean it will be quicker. the wahy the tdi works is they usually have a really long stroke more than the petrols. petrols usually have less of a stroke and more bore giving better bhp. think of it in the way a runner with short fast steps compaird to runner with long powerfull strides. both have advantages dont they.

 

[scooby slayer]

yeah they do but coming onto a motorway down a slip road i would think the tdi would be ahead until the petrol got to about 80ish then it would reel a tdi in

 

[StuPDi]

depends on the comparison
in gear acceleration or through the gears???

80ish along side a cupra R in a 130 standard ibiza, 6th gear ibiza pulled to 110 before the leon started to get away. then i was history!!!!

My audi topped out at 137 without remap. not had chance to get off road and see what difference the chip makes. certainly more responsive
