Little Red Devil

[VWindahouse]

Please dont, if you saw the car and drive it you will know why,geez wish i was modding again!!!!

oh the drive, I still have quiet moments to myself. I couldn't think of a better compliment than to say it was like the factory car, just with so much more depth to its ability. Linear acceleration, stops and steers simply better.

I agree with sean

My impression of the red devil (after turning up in my stock polo GTI) is that it felt stock when driven gently. Only when you prod it a bit more do you realise how much more it has to give.

Ha ha thanks lads!! I just hope the Dyno figures can do all of Jimmy's handy work justice

Well the results are in! Big thanks to Jimmy for organising a great dyno day which featured heaps of tuned Polo's from all different tuning companies.

All in all I am more than happy with the results. Please keep in mind it was a fairly warm day in Brisbane so this data is only really good for two reasons.

1. Comparison from my last Dyno when the Devil had only just had Phase II loaded and had NOT had any timing adjusted. (since then I have had the timing adjusted and added the HPC coated exhaust manifold and ECS clutch with the light weight FW)

These changes alone netted me 26.4 HP at the wheels more!

2. Having some friendly competition with the fellow Watercoolers with Polo's tuned from either the same or different tuning companies.

This is where it gets fun!!

So my best run saw 176 HP ATW and 362 Nm. I will post the charts Monday when I can get to the scanner at work.

As for the competition, well I had the 2 lads with KO4's and APR tunes in my sights to see if my mere KO3s could knock them off their perch! And I tell you I came soooo bloody close.

Kenny with his red polo with from memory had a KO4, DP, Forge FMIC and his new clutch and LWFW piped my by 1 or 2 HP. And Eddy in the emaculate blue polo with the same mods as Kenny but with a full turbo back APR exhaust system and APR FMIC saw him take the Polo honors with a huge 186 HP! If I have any facts incorrect lads please post up.

Considering the other phase I Polo's saw between 140 - 152 HP I am more than happy with my results with phase II seeing between 20 - 30 more HP ATW.

Will I try to chase down Eddie and Kenny's great results with only a insignificant little KO3s in the future..................... Watch this space.

P.S. Gavin still thinks we can do some more fine tuning now the latest mods are in!

Ha ha yes mate you have always treated the Devil like gold mate and I really appreciate it and it's been one hell of a fun project!

[noone]

Awesome numbers there mate, great to see the Polo's can push some pretty impressive numbers with the stock Turbo.

I know this car has had a lot of work done, but I can't speak highly enough for adding a little timing (when correctly monitored).

[VWindahouse]

Thanks mate!! I think you could be spot on.

Just to chime in, I had the privilege of a quick drive in the devil this arvo and would have to echo the above comments about how smooth and strong the power delivery is. (Didn't get the chance to go near any corners to see how it handles unfortunately).

PS I think I'm sold on a dump pipe, once I fix a few other little things. The car sounds just right.

I detect the bug hitting you mate hahaha. Everyone who drives that car gets it including me and i do most of the work. I love the thing.

Been in both Anthony and Shane's Polos and the downpipe makes the exhaust sound gruff. I don't think you would want it any louder for the street.

I reckon Ants car is heaps more gruff with that manifold mate, it sounds tops under load
I like it

True mate, I don't think I wan't that deep burble I hear when I back it off to change in any way! I hope the new turbo back exhaust I'm hoping will eventuate from the latest group buy won't change the audio too much....

[vwthunder]

Wow congrats for the results

We have the Dyno day for Melb next weekend, will be interesting to see how some more polos go and give us a idea of future mods

Hopefuly I can get my car running properly by then

[insanekiwi]

Great results. Do you have any figures for other cars that day? I just want to compare it with other vehicles that day.... for example the day my dyno ran, Audi RS4 standard - ran 298-300hp at wheels. My car did 182hp with heat soak (mine was tested on dyno to get it all running, and no fan over intercooler). Very good results though, you must be pleased with yours.

I am running REVO Stage 1, boost 7 (peak 22.3psi), timing 6, fuel 6, BP 98. Down pipe, intake, K&N, Valvoline 5-40 full synthetic, 17" wheels 205/40/17, ECS clutch kit.

[VWindahouse]

Yes mate there was a vast aray of vehicles there! Guy had his legendary Audi S3 on the rollers with over 300 HP and the new MK6 GTI Golf with Stage III APR with either 265 or 285 HP sorry can't remember exactly. Plus the other Polo's I mentioned before in post #107 with a couple of R32's and Jetta's. Also a Nissan GTR with only Just touch more than 4PSI netted over 500 HP! There were others but I'm sorry I don't really recall exact figures but check out this threat for more details http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f21/...-41665-14.html
