SG-TP-AB RS230 - Timeline

[ddizzle]

Made the full size spare wheel fit, had to hack up the foam where the tools sit.

Could you elaborate, perhaps with some pics?

Yes Ill need to run map 2 now for the extra 20kg of weight.

Also, Ferret VRS has sorted out the Rear Sway bars, so looking forward to installing that.

Lol you'll need those extra 10hp to drag the spare around [emoji23]

Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing what's involved with putting the full size spare in the boot. I would like to do the same one day, i don't like the space saver ugghh lol.

Yea the other half isn't keen on that also, thus.....

Just received the RS220 Wheels from a fellow Member!
Lucky for me he had them Painted Black, so are Standard for the RS230 (Black)

Will sort out another TPMS kit to fit, and then Ill start a Excel sheet for kms/placement/wear (mm) over the life.
I'll also make 1 wheel/tyre fit in the boot, I hope I only need to raise the boot floor and nothing else.....

Watch this space I getting, this weekend job

2nd Happy Laps done with a Facebook group, N.S.L.H.

Also meet up with a 220 sedan (Apr tune) and Golf R with a JB4 for general Practice session.

Going to look in to what is needed to run in them, as I'm getting waved at (to slow down) a bit to much in Happy lap session.

Also looking around for Anti Roll Bar upgrades....

Its a shame the Xtreme's don't fit my Mk2!

What tyres will you be putting on your spare wheels?

They will be coming with the P zeros.
So I'll have 8 wheels/tyres to mix and match.

Track day done, Was nice to see a few familiar faces (from QR in Dec).
And was the first big push with the RS230.

Trying to carry speed sort of worked as you could feel the diff working, but as I had the DTE pedal box on sport +, picking up just a little throttle (which is more like 30% not 10% that I was hoping for) unbalanced the car and under steer was happening.
Next time, Ill be smoother or turn off the Pedal box.

Some good footage coming out from others, and a couple of people came up and asked up was under the bonnet as I and Ferret had Passed them. JB4 my friend....
They were blown away that a wagon had passed them

Also Bought a fellow Members RS220 Wheels (he had them painted Black) so will match perfect.
Will have to order another TPMS set of Sensors.
Plan to make a full size spare fit in the boot.

Ordered a Cheap Go Pro knock off (75$ ebay)

Another Track day planned for next weekend.

Its always a heat wave in QLD, as you know.

Yea the JB4 is less than other tunes, as its a piggy back, which is fine. Both have Pros/Cons.

I'm happy as, Inlet temps aren't 60°C with airflow, so it will be more kw/hp

Changed about of settings in JB4 ready for track day, and sent some logs to BMS.

Also received the DTE Pedalbox unit from Germany today.

5min install, installed in the drop box by drivers right knee.
It plugs in between the throttle pedal and the loom (piggy back).

Straight to Sport +, wow!!!!
I guess it just changes the curve, Did a log of that for BMS also, and sent.


Pedal Remap - PedalBox: increases throttle response

Yeah I did wonder why you'd be doing Dyno runs in Brisbane's current heat wave.

I just thought Stage 1s of the Golf GTI Mk 7/Mk 3 vRS were getting better figures than the Mk 2 vRS remaps that's all. I had thought most Stage 1's on the Golf GTI Mk 7/Mk 3 vRS were achieving over 200kW at the fly.

Superchips quoting 275hp (205kW) Stage 1 presumably at the fly, but more importantly significantly larger gains in torque (97Nm). Your JB4 Map 2 would equate to about 265hp at the fly by my calcs.

Hey Donweather,

the BMS guys said that Dyno runs arent great as the air inlet temp gets to high.
I was in the High 60's, normal road driving should be around the 40/50 mark.
Which in turn would give a bit more.

"The JB4 is a user adjustable plug and play solution for all MQB based models in the VW Audi Group range. Power Gains: Starting at 45bhp and 60nm with 95 Ron with + 4.50psi boost over stock on the default setting. Up to 100bhp and 90nm with bolt on modifications, higher octane and boost adjustment is possible with the optional BMS Data Cable."

So it's not to far away if it was cooler inlet temps....

[donweather]

All ready for the Dyno runs this afternoon.
Full tank of full - CHECK

DYNO results
Runs had Racing Line Air Filter

Stock RS230 is 169Kw/230hp at the Flywheel.

Below is at the wheels
Pink - Stock 153.5 Kw / 205.8 hp
Green - JB4 Map 1 (4.5 psi extra) 170.1 Kw / 228.1 hp
Red - JB4 Map 2 (5.0 psi extra) 176.7 Kw / 236.9 hp
[ATTACH=CONFIG]27932[/ATTACH]

I find these figures somewhat average. if you take the 153.5kW @ the wheels as being the stock 169kW at the fly, then converting the 170kW and 177kW at the wheel to the fly gives you 188kW and 196kW respectively. My mk 2 with a Stage 1 bluefin gives me 188kW at the fly.

Do you know what figures the JB4 distributors were quoting for the Mk3 RS?
