anyone with a k03s ibiza to compare performance with?

[shantybeater]

Hi guys, I am generally paranoid when it comes to my car...but im sure its lost power since when i first owned it..

Is there anyone in the area with a k03s who i could compare performance with?

(hampshire, bournemouth, southampton, dorset area)

What about comparing it with a k03 if there isnt anyone, just a thought as you should easily pull a bit on one of them . My friends ko3s with 250bhp pulls a good 3 car lengths upto 80 - 90 only diff is he has a ko3s i have a ko3 .

 

[shantybeater]

yeah good point, are you in the area?

 

[andygolf]

you have just got used to it same with me but i want more power now

 

[JIMYU]

you could take it to a RR for peace of mind.

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Where you based mate? Im north hants area.

Only running KO3 though. Just had it RR'd at 207bhp & 240lb/ft. More than welcome to compare it to mine

I could be wrong but weren't you the one getting blue smoke out the exhaust? If so then you're probably losing compression

 

[DPJ]

How exactly are you going to compare performance?

Yeah think he is Rob

i reckon you should get it RR'd if your paranoid,having a race with someone is pointless as their both different setups with different maps but more to the point, different drivers
a k03 car could quiet easily beat a k03s car no probs if the driver was alot better
just my 2p

I know

I think he just wanted compare the difference in a quick blast on a duel carriageway on a straight.

When I follwed Benny to the last RR day in oxford when we put our feet down in our cars his pulled easily over mine. He ended up making a good 25-30BHP more than me.

I know its not the most scientific way of doing things but would certainly be a good indication things arent quite right. Especially if his is 250bhp as he quotes

I would offer vagcom but my laptop is dead.

 

[shantybeater]

yeah i ment just sensibly comparing from like 30-70 on a clear road...or just by sitting in someone elses car I reckon i could get a reasonable idea...i am the one with blue smoke coming out the back but the amount hasnt got worse, it always had it since i bought it and had no compression loss to my knowledge then....and after following someone who clearly did have a blown turbo mine looks like someone puffing a fag in comparison....

whereabouts is north hants?

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Ill be in Basingstoke tonight so your more than welcome to meet up if u wanna see how mine runs?

Have you got vagcom? or a laptop?

Ive got the cable but my laptop is proper f00ked at the moment, need a new one.

 

[shantybeater]

ah i would do but the pub is calling me tonight!

a friends got vag com so i'm going to give that a go first

cheers dan

No worries fella, hope you get it sorted

I'd also be inclined to still get a compression test done.
