Post Your Quarter Mile Times!

[spare]

So I took my 6R GTI to the drags for the first time last night here in Perth. Temperature wise it definitely wasn't the smartest idea, as Perth's in the middle of a mini heatwave at the moment, and so track-side temperatures even at night were around 38 degrees. We had a VW club night though so was a third the price of normal entry.

Anyway, I done some quick searching and couldn't find much info in terms of other people's times so thought it would be great to have a bit of a registry setup for members new & old as well as well it showing up for Google searches etc. Probably worth mentioning time, temperature/conditions and Model/Engine Type as we now share this board with the 6C cars.

We can maybe request people verify their times with a photo of the printout sheet? (if so I'll edit my post to attach mine).
I'll get things started!

2013 Polo 6R GTI
Track Temp: 37.8 degrees
Time: 13.827 seconds

Hey spare impressive!

Nothing much being posted in this thread yet unfortunately so suggest any reliable acceleration tests could be posted here? Would love to be able to run my car down a drag strip if any opportunity arises for this in little old Adelaide?

So what I have so far, pre-tune, for my 6C is 0-100 km/h in 6.34 sec. using a Gtech Pro unit to record. My mods. relative to the slight increase over the quoted 6.5ish time for a std. car are a Milltek cat back system and lighter weight alloys.

Hey car_nut, have you done 0-100km/h post tune run yet?

I might have dyno-results this afternoon... Not exactly the 1/4 mile drag but though it might be of interest....

Hey tune was supposed be a secret

No done nothing, been on a holiday to hospital. Next few weeks will have something very good I hope.

[amazeer]

not what you're after either but 100% stock 1.2tsi ran 16.8 I think at WSID

All good info guys, keep it coming!

Just great to have a whole bunch of performance related info in the one place.

I just posted the dyno up from Eurospec Dyno in the 'what have you done today thread:
127KW ATW - Intake & cat-back.
140KW - piggy back ChipTune / removed after run.

The APR stage 1 tune gives you 163kw at the wheels without any other mods.

Im looking at adding a downpipe and a stage 2 tune to get 172kw atw with 303nm of torque atw.

I'm just explaining the results not recommending the option.
In saying that, this is a $950 option + if you need warranty the ECU is clean.
Half the tune for 1/2 the price = another option.

I won't be touching a DSG or ECU tune until I know the DSG won't grenade!

Oh, ok understand now.

As for the DSG box, I doubt it will ever be able to take more than the factory power.

Because of the DSG and warranty I have opted for a piggy back. In fact I have 'detuned' (through its PC interface) the piggyback to the developers more modest recommended boost and fuel trim settings because as quoted by the tester in South Africa and he is talking about the 2015 Polo GTI DSG "The majority of users including us have had concerns in regard to the strength of the transmission. The torque can be increased by quite a bit but until we know for certain that its going to last in that spec we keeping things relatively conservative. We do know flashed cars that are running very high torque levels and are keeping our ears open to see how long they going to last."

Over $1000 cheaper than the APR tune, I'm very happy with it and there is absolutely no way it leaves any logs or anything else in the ecu if something does go wrong. Most importantly it gives the drivechain/DSG all the extra power it is probably capable of handling.

Which piggy back did you buy? brand, price etc. - Thanks

It's a Berger Motorsports (BMS) JB1
JB VW Performance Tuner - BurgerTuning.com
As you can see it's still under development for the 2015 Polo GTI, the 4 'plugs' are same as for the Golf GTI platform including the R.
$379 only but that is US $ and because of our pathetic AU $ it was just under $690 AU delivered (express) but that was with the optional interface cable which is needed because the default settings need to be changed.

You can do a lot of reading, as I did before purchase, here but there is nothing on the Polo of course because it's a US based Golf forum -
BMS JB Stage 1 Released - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum

George is the person to contact, he is very helpful, before and after purchase. He sent me a dyno result on a Polo GTI but the car has a downpipe fitted. I think just over 190kW at flywheel but that would be at settings that are not recommended for the DSG. PM me with your email if you want a copy.

I'm testing it further with before and after acceleration runs using a Gtech Pro and yes there are early indications of some significant improvements.

I have received no freebies etc from BMS and my opinions are impartial.
