Tuner challenge (EOI)

[Bug_racer]

With all the talk about comparing tunes I will lay the cards on the table

A challenge for all tuners/tuners customers cars

The goal is to attain the highest MPH at the end of the dragstrip

Rules :
Must be 2.0 TFSI/TSI engine with KO4
No water meth , No nitrous

So Golf 5 with KO4 , Pirelli , S3 , Golf 6 TSI with KO4 , Scirroco , Golf R , TTS etc

Venue : WSID
Date : TBA

Discuss

People interested :
Name : Car : tune

1)WhiteVR6 : Golf R : Re-code

Too much talk not enough racing!

I think the different weight of vehicles could make this an unfair challenge. You really need the same model vehicle to keep things even. Just my 2 cents.

If you thinks its unfair then lets look at some MPHs by cars :

MasterKevin : FWD mk6 gti : 109.7mph
DeanCorp : Pirelli : 110.62mph
Wooduck ; Golf R : 109.4 mph
WhiteVR6 : Golf R 109.2 mph

Close enough I think ? Would make for a good challenge , but , like always tuners are reluctant to actually go racing
Tuners wars on forums has been going on for around 10 years , tuners have challenged each other but nothing has ever become of it , and looks like nothing will ever change . power claims of the tuner > real world results .

What about no stripped out interiors?

Why ? Cause one person is too lazy to remove the interior ?
What about the guys running race seats vs full leather ?

Fuel should be race fuel as well since its consistant , too many times have I seen people go to a big name servo and get dodgey fuel .

[Fab_R]

Street trim it should be.
No stripped out interiors.
No race fuel if there is no wmi allowed .

So the guys with race seats get instant advantage ?

If you dont run race fuel are you prepared to remove fuel from everyones tank and get it tested to make sure its 98 ?
And so its fair will you hire a fuel truck to come to the track and fill everyones tank up to make it consistant ?
I said no water meth cause no-one AFAIK has succesfully fitted it to a TFSI engine in Aus . So why push an advantage that no-one has fitted yet ?

[Fab_R]

Dry argument.
Yes whatever. You win.

One of the cars posted above is running water meth.
Would be a fun event but again would prove nothing.

You could get an inflated trap speed on a fwd car by having massive wheelspin.
You can get a better time/trap speed on an awd car by stripping more weight.

Neither of the above things would reflect on the tuners.

Tuners would have the most significant input based upon the modifications available .
Peak dyno figures mean less on a tuners ability than peak MPH on the dragstrip

Did I mention companies like APR could fit their exhausts , intake etc Giac with AWE exhaust intake , Revo have their own etc etc
It should be more a tuner showcase on what Tunes + specific hardware can achieve .

Yes it is dry , cause its never happened , Tuners can call each other out but never race each other ................

Still would prove nothing as per my points above.
So by all means go out, have some fun racing, compete, Meet people, share a drink, make some friends.

Drawing a false conclusion as to which tuner has done a better job based on the mph of cars that are not alike. Especially not fwd ones.

For the record deancorp ran a slower time at 112mph. Doesnt mean his car had more power on that run just means he screwed up the launch.

So your saying that what I have offered is flawed ?
Im happy to hear your suggestion on some kind of tuner battle that would be fair ?

FWD cars if set up right can have a higher mph than equivalent 4wd cars , in my experience anyway

[Scuby_snax84]

Drag racing is about power to weight ratio, not just power. If you have a gti vs a R with same turbo/mods the gti should have more terminal speed because of the 100kg difference in weight. Am I right?

I think you need to use identical cars. Same drivetrain,(being fwd or awd) and same gearbox.
