My Polo GTI

[instigator]

no no, i have a Forge 007 diverter valve on it with a blue spring, forgot to mension it

but we logged the car again and see what happend if i provoked the fluctuations.
seems that the injectors are running on the limit of capacity.
going to put a 4bar FPR or TT225 BAM injectors.
this should solve it.

remapped it again with another file, works well, goes verry hard and strong now.
it only fluctuates at 3/4 gas pedal.
but he said he can fix this, we have to look into it.
this might be something he can fix with boost control settings.
it will be allright

drove in it we 4 people, in second gear about 40km/u on dry tarmac.
put my foot down and the ESP goes beserk

[instigator]

went out dragracing today, 1/4th mile in Germany.
best time was 14.20sec and 161Km/u

with a 100Kg friend next to me i still did 14.3 - 14.4sec
so the torque is good.
drove against a Colt CZT 1.5 turbo with 220Hp and 340Hp.
nailed him with +- 5 carlengts
normally we are about equally fast, but a CZT can't set his ESP off... :-s

drove against a friend in his ibiza Cupra with 180 - 190Hp
he had his girlfriend next to him
i had 3 friend with me, all around 100Kg.
did a rolling run from 5the gear and the polo was only 1 carlengt behind.
afterwards my friend with the Cupra told me he was in 4th gear
so both is the same gear, and i still nail it with a fully loaded car

yesterday i had a litlle "meeting" among friends.
and it was a great opportunity te "test" a bit against each other.
it was the first time for me and my polo since it is mapped to stage 2.
and about a week ago i installed a 4bar FPR and got it mapped again.
car runs alot smoother and feels a bit faster also.

so, time to test against other cool stuff...
everything was from rolling start.

Polo VS Honda Civic Type R EP3 (215Hp)
the GTI seriously took about 4 - 5 carlenghts emmediantly.
it wa such a diffrence that i tested in 3th gear 2500rpm and the Type R in 2nd gear about 5500rpm (Vtec zone)
we were neck on neck untill after 5sec the type R needed to shift and fell behind, polo was gone

Polo VS Nissan Sunny GTI-R (300Hp)
tested several times from 2nd gear, 50Km/u to 5th gear, 200Km/u.
run after run it was exacly the same, neck on neck.
realy thought i would loose this one because this GTI-R is exacly as fast as a E46 M3 up to 200Km/u (after that M3 gets away)

polo VS Subaru impreza (1st model 270Hp)
i have to say that the impreza was not running right, had a few problems with it but tested anyway.
he had no chance at all, turbolag like a pig, polo bursted away...
tried it with the polo in 3th gear and subaru in 2nd gear and polo still launched away from the impreza.
not realy a reference but, fun to do

polo VS Subaru Impreza (1st model 330Hp)
i know this one i realy fast, good friend of mine also.
but also has alot of turbolag compared to the GTI.
so the polo took about 2 - 3 cars on him and when we go to next gear he starts to come closer, shortly after he blows by pretty fast!
did a run in low RPM just for fun (about 2500rpm)
polo pulls away and subaru got turbolag.
when i got to 220Km/u i still diddn't see a subaru passing me, he was still 2 cars behind
he was verry supprised by how the polo goes

polo VS Ford Focus RS (1st model 255Hp)
also has a bit turbolag so the polo pulls away pretty fast and keeps on going.
could not keep up.
did a run in high rpm (about 3500 - 4000rpm)
and still the polo was faster, pulled away a bit less but still verry strong, took about 15 cars on him from 50km/u to 220km/u
thought it was faster...

Polo VS Honda Integra Type R DC2 (227Hp)
i must say that this car is realy realy fast, gas response is like no other car, realy!
it could go along side with the polo from rolling start, but only for a second or 2.
after that the polo makes more power and torque and i took a about 2 - 3 cars on him, after that it was pretty much the same.
polo was getting away still, but slowly.

polo VS Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T (260 - 280Hp)
immediantly i took about 2 cars on him, after that it was like the integra, slowly but sure the polo got away, but not by much.
shame it was still limited on 180Km/u

so, after all this, we all were supprised about how the litlle GTI goes (including myself)
never thought it could keep up, let alone win from such cars
polo goes verry strong now, i can feel that, but this was beyond expectations!
so we did a Vbox run again, this divice is one of the most accurate things i have seen to measure Hp.
tested it many times if someone has gone to a dyno, the Vbox said the same result within 5Hp diffrence.
this could be diffrent from being on a dyno or being on the road.
anyway, when it was mapped without the 4bar FPR it got 190Hp@wheels and about 219Hp on the flywheel.
did some runs and the best run was 212Hp@wheels and the least was 204Hp@wheels.
so we took the average of those runs,
now it has 208Hp@wheels and about 240Hp on the flywheel.
soon i'm going to a dyno where i have allways been to, so we can see the results and upgrades perfect.
curious about the torque... must be over 350nM i guess
other things we measured:
100-200Km/u: low 15sec with 2 persons (alone i must get high 14's)
100-150Km/u: 5.7sec (2 persons)

next time i'll make some movies of it.
i have to test against som eother friends also...
Civic Type R EP3 248Hp
Civic Type R EP3 245Hp
Fiesta ST supercharged, 266@wheels and 300Hp on fly.
i'll keep you posted!

1st video is made...

Polo GTI stage II 240Hp VS Civic Type R EP3 240Hp
standing dragrace and rolling start, polo 3th gear, Civic 2nd gear
this was done because the polo has alot of torque low down, Type R is is best in high RPM.
enjoy

made a new video from yesterday,
went out testing against a friend's supercharged Fiesta ST.

Love the car. My favourite. R1 comment at the end was a nice touch and gave me a laugh.

[instigator]

Thx

made another movie from last Friday,
did a meeting with some friends and other people with their sportcars,
great opportunity to test the polo against "Supercars"

Today i saw a Scirocco R for the second time,
but this time it was not on a parking spot but on the road :p

so i chased him a bit and then he went for it.
we began in 3the gear @70Km/u all the way to +220 -230Km/u.
i was behind him the whole time and could not get passed him, if i could i would!
so i had to loose my gaspedal 2 times, because every time i was coming closer to him and could not pass him.
had to let off, but it was clearly that the GTI was the stronger one.

Polo: 1
Scirocco R: 0

and the face of that guy was the best i have seen in a long time

[seangti]

we began in 3the gear @70Km/u all the way to +220 -230Km/u.

F-me, that's straight to jail for us Aussies and likely car crushing.

Mind you, that speed on most aussie roads would see you in the bushes anyone, we're yet to master sufficiently smooth and straight roads here, lol

[instigator]

hehehe, over here i think if they catch you, bye bye driving licence and the car will also be taken by the cops.
Belgium is a land where speeding and reckless driving is pure punishment and alot of trouble, probably get less punishment if they catch you with child molestation.
roads are mostly f*cked up also with here and there a new flat road

it was done at a friends private road
