DNA Tuning: VW Golf R dyno results and feedback

[Lucas_R]

Intercooler & HPFP ordered and my car will be ready for DNA Stage 3 file in about a months time (waiting for hardware to arrive).

I will be logging the tune as well as getting the car dyno'd again shortly after all parts are installed and stage 3 tune loaded. I will load up the dyno results for others to see. Based on the same dyno as my previous run, i am hoping for 210kw and 400nm ATW.

Excellent results guys, those are some great numbers, well done.

DNA Tuning Stage 3 results - Golf R:

After my previous result of 204kw/354nm (see page 1) last year at the dyno day in Sydney, i took the Golf back to a local Newcastle dyno today to see how it was running with the new mods and tune.

Mod list:
- DNA Tuning stage 3 tune
- VW Racing intake
- 42DD resonated down pipe (ceramic coated)
- Autotech HPFP and Audi RS4 fuel rail valve
- THS style intercooler
- Neuspeed turbo discharge pipe
- BSH charge pipe
- DIY try hard carbon clean done the week before

All mods installed by me.

Wish List:
- Realistically a water or water/meth injection setup
- If i win Lotto, a GT28 turbo kit + associated bits and pieces.


Based off my previous dyno run, I was hoping for about 210kw and 400nm....i got close with the kw but im a little off with the nm.

I asked the operator to setup the readout the same as the dyno day, but the poor bugger struggled to give me what i got. Car was pretty consistent - it ran several 206kw, a 205kw and then the 208kw.

Gotta be happy with that Lucas,especially given you did the work. Well done.

Cheers Brimway - yes im happy with the results and it was nice to see the hours ive spent doing the mods have paid off.

Can't be too much wrong with intake / fuel trims there Lucas!

*Scratches head* i don't know what to make of it Guy. I checked the fuel trims again yesterday after returning home from the dyno and they are on -8.2%. Absolutely no idea how one day they were on +17.7% and then now they are on -8.2%......as long as they don't move around too much from there ill leave it be.

Thanks again for you time back and forth discussing this with me over the past few days too. Much appreciated.

[Guy_H]

No problem - complicated little buggers ECU's!

Hey Lucas,

Interesting to see your Dyno results after Stage 2 and Stage 3 Tune with your extra mods. My R is currently stock as I only picked it up last week but I plan on getting the following done in the next couple of weeks and wondering what sort of Dyno results I can expect. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Stage 2+ APR Tune
VWR Intake
APR Down Pipe
APR HPFP

Do you think these mods will achieve 200+ KW ATW?

^ yep with a stage 2+ tune you should see +200kw at the wheels which is about the maximum the k04 can make on the Golf R.

Thanks, I will let you know how I go

I might add that i was holding the camera with my right hand and using my left hand to shift gears AND hold onto the steering wheel. I might try it again soon with both hands doing the driving so i can concentrate better. With a better start (it bogged down in the video above) i think a low 5 second time is achieveable.

And now that you mention the boost levels with the dump pipe, i did notice it rise a little after fitting the down pipe.

Now that takes talent
I gather (without reading rest of thread - apologies if already answered) that yours is OBD "Direct-Port" Tunable? I thought (being basically the same as TSI Tigs) that it would have to be bench-tuned?!

It wasn't the easiest thing to do....haha.

I gather (without reading rest of thread - apologies if already answered) that yours is OBD "Direct-Port" Tunable? I thought (being basically the same as TSI Tigs) that it would have to be bench-tuned?!

The Golf R engine is the older FSI design (from the MK5 GTi generation) and uses the older Bosch MED9 ECU which is tunable via the OBD. In my case, i bought the DNA Tuning hand controller and uploaded the tune myself which is handy.

The Tigs, Octavia vRS's and Mk6 GTI's etc are all the newer generation TSI engine and use a newer ECU (i think its a Bosch MED17) which seems to be OBD tunable in some cases but not in others. Some people on here with MK6 GTIs and Octy vRS's have been able to use tools like the Bluefin to tune their car, others haven't. Seems that some ECU's are encrypted and some aren't and its luck-of-the-draw.

[Tiggy1]

Ah, that explains it - mine is definitely one of the encrypted ones (as are most of the late 2010 onwards Tigs it seems)
Oh well, was worth asking.
Cheers
Nice work on doing most of your own modding BTW - wish I was that brave

Given the other mods you've made, do you feel it's worth it? Is the power noticeable? What's your 0-100 times like now?
