What did you do to your Polo today?

[noone]

That's one happy dyno!

[kangfu]

Ran it on the Dyno, made 142.3KW at the wheels

Which i think is quite good, I want morrrre

Good stuff! I'd be happy with anything near 140 in something like a Polo.

K04 time for you?

Yes if I had the $$$$, well one day

[vwthunder]

Does anyone know how much you would loose through the drivetrain, would it be 142 at wheels be around 175KW at flywheel

[flat6]

Well they recon the APR polo puts about 120kw to the wheels @ 152kw flywheel, so 175kw cant be too far off

[Bflat]

Approx +20% isn't it?

[instigator]

as far as i know they count 15%

got my polo tested with a Vbox meter,
before i had 109Kw @ the wheels, that should be quit correct.
after custom remap i got 140kw
what a difference!
so 140Kw@ the wheels is 190Hp@the wheels.
+15% is 219Hp @ the flywheel.

only problem is, i don't have 4bar FPR so the injectors are running at the maximum they can handle.
and the N249 is opening the diverter at about 3/4 gas.
so next week i'm going back to my tuner to get the N249 and N112 valves programmed out.
i also going to put in 380cc injectors (Bosh Green)
could do it with 4bar FPR but i'm not a fan of raising pressure.
more pressure = equal to more heat also + the fuell pump is not made to deliver that much.
i'll let you guys know how it went and i'll put the results on the forum

Got my Pioneer AVIC-F900BT installed, rear speakers and reversing camera. The car installer said my PAC canbus was not turning the unit off when the key was on ACC, so i got him to use one of his canbus units. Come to think of it, the RCD200 radio did not turn off until i pulled the key out! My canbus unit may well not be broken...... Anyways, updated my maps to R18.. at least got a win there

Your installer was right about the canbus in your 2006 Polo and saved you from the flat battery troubles.

What is a PAC canbus unit, did they use a Connects2 one, I have had my Connects2 one fail on me twice

I think they used a connects2 as the line item listed it as a CAN01. The PAC unit is this. I also have a Connects2 unit coming next week (long story... not buying from lowcostcaraudio.co.uk again), and only because of a stuff up i ordered the PAC canbus unit, because i had already booked the install.

I am going to ring him tomorrow, cos my RCD200 only switched off when i removed the key. So the radio stayed on with the key in the ACC position when i switched the engine off. Just want to clarify it.

Too bad you couldn't get out to the dyno day too. It would have been nice to have 3 TDi's there to compare different remaps vs stock

Yep, sounds like the installer isn't familiar with the Polo's behaviour
I also did away with my CANBUS converter (which didnt work properly anyway), I only miss out on the speed sensor for the GPS. The ACC power can be taken from another wire in the stereo loom. 18+ months later and no flat batteries or issues with my F900BT at all,

Let me know if you need the R18 maps
