Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • I was under the impression that most "tuned" cars will fail emissions anyway..

    Not all 100 / 200 cell cats are the same. Depends on how much precious metal content is in each. You can have an 800 cell cat fail the test if it is a heap of ****...I wouldn't be surprised if most 200 cell cats fail the emissions tests here anyway.

    Then again, at the end of the day, when have you ever been pulled over to get your emissions tested?

        That'd be the stage 3 cars?

          • In the next few years 100 cel 200 cel 800 cel cats used on any system in this thread will all fail because they aren't in the stock location, things are going to get nasty for enthusiasts here.This applies to victoria already.
            With the sniffer test I've never seen this applied anywhere might be different up in QLD though what usually happens is the police will be fronted with a Dhead who gives them grief and the police will the send them for a full EPA check at the owners expense in the owners own time and they can do this even if the car is completely stock. Its up to you to proves that your car complies.

            We can do the full test on our dyno with the Coda 5 gas analyser interfaced to it and the program run through the various ranges and loads that their test parameters dictate and yes most cars will fail. You could modify a tune to make it pass though even with 100 cel cats but you still fail because the cat isn't in the stock location !!. Actually everyone will fail because their car hasn't been engineered with the fully hektik intake they've installed !!

            End of the day I only know of one car owner being fined for having no cat at all and after being defected three times previously for it and that was an EVO.

            The other thing about the power everyone is getting with brand X exhaust. To some degree you have to have the tune suited to that style of dump pipe eg the divorced setup needs bigger wastegate values to open to a bigger angle to flow the same amount of gas so you can't just say the TXS dump pipe gave me X kilowatts gain. The reverse applies too.
            The only way would be to use the same tune as a base and then modify that to suit a particular style of dump pipe and do it properly without any bias, it aint gonna happen .
            Anyway please continue.....

            • Just let WhiteJames chime in regarding the Cat. Isn't he a man of the Law?

              • This is the test quite a lot of our customers have had to pass in QLD (with a 200 cell cat - as a 100 cell does not pass it) I understand from our transport engineer that there are equivalent tests in each state.

                Free vehicle emissions testing (Department of Transport and Main Roads)

                ADR's are different to "In Service" - VIC seems to have the harshest laws period, followed by Canberra.

                • At the end of the day I think if somebody wanted to pick on a modified Golf R they would find any reason to defect it. Especially in Victoria. So let's take the emissions standards out of 100/200 cell cats.

                  Fab if you get a fine for running 100 cell cats or 'cats in the wrong location' send it to me I will take care of it.

                  Now that that's out of the way..Can continue with the success stories of the TXS downpipe which is what, less than half the price of the "comparable" competitor?

                    • APR's just charging whatever the market is willing to pay. So unless there is a change in this trend, the APR DP will continue to exist in the Aussie market. GO APR!!!!

                      Unfortunately I can't afford a $2,500 APR DP and will definitely be buying alternatives. Who cares if the APR makes slightly more kWs? I can buy an APR HPFP with the difference in price and get even more kWss!!!!

                        And instead of an APR HPFP you can buy another one half the price and use THAT money to buy some nice high definition porn.
