Sharkie's TSI Amarok Build

[MGV]

Good report!

Wonder how many people from Brisbane own their own snowboards?

Nice Sharkie,

As soon as i saw APR advertise their Amarok TSi software was avail i called the local dealers. I wasn't surprised when they said they dont have a file for it. So annoying really! Guys are clueless and support would probably be just as bad! Thats S.A!

On another note got another software company to flash a file but not too happy with it. Engine surges, almost like boost cut and then wakes up again after 4000rpm. So ill be doing a few logs to see whats happening and hopefully they can tweak the map a little. Coming onto boost WOT the turbo sounds like its wants to takeoff literally, it might be more the diverter valve but its a very high pitched "flute sounding" noise.

On the dyno it got 196.9kw @5566rpm and 421nm tq @ 3268 rpm, 1.3bar boost.

Good to see it getting a workout.
Shame about the snow conditions though.

It was actually amazing how comfortable a drive the Amarok was long distance. And the luggage space was amazing tbh. Even the Multivan had a lot less space for luggage and without a pod would never have taken 4 snowboards .....







Snow was actually quite good. Up high there was plenty and all the major runs down to village was still on a thick base. Did a number of mixed village / super trails runs (in excess of 4km) each day.

In the village itself obviously no snow ......

Roadtrip

In Thredbo ..... halfway through a 3000km roundtrip



3 adults and 2 late teens, 4 snowboards 1 set of skis and all other essentials for a 7 days snow holiday loaded up with no problem.

Very comfortable cruise really and given the power it has, still returned 9.1l/100km fully loaded .....

Fitted an open pod filter just for kicks yesterday morning and boy does it whistle and growl now ....... Waste gate sound is awesome !

Probably not going to keep it on but it sure is entertaining, lol

We knew were up for something amazing when the 1st Beta file made 180kw at the hubs .......

In case anybody was wondering, this is what a Stg1 200+kw 500NM Amarok looks like .....

That would be an estimate because the use a wheel or hub dyno, not an engine dyno.

Have a really good look at the graph & the "report" underneath. It's like a study in confusion when you try & work out what fuel, rpm, etc they are talking about.

As a simple "Will this vehicle go better?" exercise... Hell Yeah!

Yes, since APR Aus uses a hub dyno, its a bit confusing working it all out as nobody knows for sure what the drivetrain losses are ..... 263HP at the crank probably a bit low .... as the 240HP at the wheels = 180kw at the wheels ......

195kw at the hubs was seen before pulling a bit of timing out (to better protect the engine) to land on ~190kw at the hubs. In excess of 430NM at the hubs as well!!

And thanks APR for using a red Amarok on your page .....

Also, whats a racelogic?

VBOX Australia

Racelogic performance box is a GPS based car performance measuring unit. It is quite accurate and most magazines and car reviewers use it to measure vehicle performance.

I've heard it's pretty good. RWD, 6 speed. Probably throw in some redline gear oil and get that 0-100 time under 7 seconds.
