Thinking of a tdi 130

[jj cupra]

Hi i was thinking of buying a tdi 130 as i was impressed with the claimed power figures

just want to no if this is true as if it was thats like Skyline proformance

As i was told by someone with a modified cupra tdi130 these are his words not mine

its now 200bhp BUT with 330lb ft torque which makes the equivilant of another 20bhp or so and much slower off the line spin in 1st 2nd and 3rd
stage2 remap without the tweak for my full map
sachs clutch
allard fmic
green cotton panel filter
drilled air box
full 2.5 in turbo back zorst

He then went on to ADD

well i estimated 13.6 pass with 240bhp and 400lb ft torque so 13.55 aint bad estimate lol
na my uprated clutch is rated at 360lb ft si its def not clutch slip
thing is its so powerful even if you roll in first and part throttle in second full throttle in 3r it still spins its so hard to get right, plus with my clutch it bites so well its hard to not fully engage it
my car will do 140 mph no problems lol as its still has 200 bhp at4k with 220lb ft torque at that rpm
its just a pain in the arse with all that torque i know a diff will make a big ifference to traction but its another 700 pound lol

im not slating it but surly that a bit streached plz put the record stright thanks

Welcome

Bit of a jumbled post this one;

The TDI 130 Leon is a MK1 Leon, not a MK2 Leon. The MK2 Leon has a 2.0TDi 140 or 2.0TDi 170 as the "performance" diesel variants.

With the modifications listed in a 1.9TDi 130, you would struggle to get close to 200bhp with the 130TDi turbo, and there is no way you would manage a 13.6 1/4 mile unless the car was super stripped out and it was running a big turbo with the claimed bhp you stated.

The TDi 130 Leon is an excellent car though

Hope that helps.

Sorry i didnt no what one it was All i no is he had a leon 130tdi and everything is what he claimed and his words

You will not get 200bhp from the stock KKK PD130 turbo unless you are running stupid boost and trying to blow it up and even then 200 bhp would only be a peak figure. Drilling the airbox is a spupid thing to do and will only make the car loose power as it will be sucking in hot air.

Think you will find the touring cars are using the new common rail engines which are totally different to the PD engines.
