269bhp Fabia vRS

[UncleFester]

Was quite a funny read as some of these lads obviously have little peckers or no inteligence whatsoever or both.

The PD130 is probably one of the most common engines on the road out there and probably one of the most discussed on VAG forums too.

These nippers should research, listen and learn.

He'll next been telling his mates that he's won £15billion euros on a lottery he's never entered into..... Just young and naive - not his fault.

I think his tuners have a lot answer for. They should know if there's any experience amongst them. Stock car.....FFS!!!???

Funnily enough TD are aware of this car and they didn't poopoo the figures either - in fact t0rqu3 Tr0n1x are one of their reccomended distributors / fitters / mappers.

An independent verification of the figures on a RR also used for other cars on that day to give a 'benchmark' would be good. I doubt it will hit the figures, but we'll see

I dont know the tuner involved, and I dont know the figures of most of the big gun tuners out there. I had a C-C stage 1 on mine, and it was pretty darn near quoted figures on a competing RR. I since had a SC custom map to take into account the hardware. One day it will be running again (hopefully soon now ) and it will be mapped again to see what can be achieved

You may be waiting a long time, when it's 30bhp down on his boasts he will not be in much of a hurry to post an update. Or it will be:

a, Not as reliable as the hub dynos
b, A bad day air temp wise/not enough ventilation
c, The car deleloped a missfire on the way to the RR

The accelerator got stuck

But have the backed them up either? Or was it special technician of the month operating at the time.

It just doesn't stack up.

Standard clutch is possible, for a day or so

I must read up on it, same links are on briskoda as well hehe

Funny.

Best part was where DESIGN engineer (vw_engineer) set things right:

i am just home from my day job as a design engineer at vw test facility at wolfsburg. i cant believe some of the rubbish that i am reading. peoples turning a 100pd diesel engine in to 150pd!! peoples tuning the complete nuts out of their diesels. i think i can speak for vw and for my self saying we didnt spend all the time and money designing these engines for a few monkies to blutak and superglue a few parts on there engines and say its better than we made it. i would like to see this skoda putting out nearly 270bhp. thats alot of power on the standard pistons and bottom end. thtas alot of stress. i see there are mNY peoples who think they are experts. what qualifications do you have and what experience do you have, reading forumns and mags and supergluing a fgew bits on your engine makes you no expert.

That 270bhp tiny Skoda should run 100+mph trap speeds @ 1/4mile. Otherwise dynoplot is rubbish.

Also Devonutopia posted, and I thought in a pretty reasonable way

Bluetack and superglue! I hate Mondays but that has just made my week!

The vw engineer was obviously a wind up. Anyway , no way is that car 269bhp and it apparently has a SMIC. I reckon with that turbo and the SMIC 200bhp max as he won't be able to run too much boost without creating too much heat.

My old PD130 had same turbo and had Allards large FMIC and no way that car would go over 221bhp on a reliable RR( same consistant readings as JKM's). My laptop is full of different maps and tweaks approx 30-40 and i still never got it over 221 bhp. If more fuel was added it would smoke everywhere! I could always get a good torque increase but not the bhp.

 

[WW_VRS]

I'd agree, and mine will probably be tweaked up a tad to get near those figures (as in 220)

Well, maybe he is using a squirt of NOS and don't want to tell about it...

Anyway that SMIC isn't a problem on low resist inertia dynos as the run can be over in 5-7 seconds and those intake temperatures won't have any chance to go up.

I want things just opposite: got 310hp on dyno and 373-375hp on road...

 

[WW_VRS]

To be fair, I reckon that is how he might be hitting the figures, the power run was < 10 seconds for sure

 

[shadowmaker]

Looking at his dyno plot, it is obvious that they are restricting torque between 2400-3900rpm, hence the "camel hump" style torque line.

Without any restriction it should have gone over 500lb/ft...

lol

 

[WW_VRS]

No problem for the standard clutch that though

 

[depresion]

The "camel hump" could equaly be caused by dragging the brakes on the coast down to increase the losses and correction factor.
