DrDoom Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's got a miltek catback, running decat! Just asked previous owner now - had never really looked into figures for the engine before, as they're no use to me as I'll never get insured on the thing! So, 250 standard. Map and exhaust work might push you 280/5 - then the rest is dyno lottery like you say! The 250 standard figure from Audi however, is a wheel figure - so throw in your losses too for the engine figure, and we might be getting close! Lowered 15mm on the rear, with adustable arms obviously to straighten things back out - running -1.5 front and rear. For a hairdressers car, it feels VERY well planted on the road, and handles like a dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Map and an exhaust would be 260/265 if you are lucky. The figures are hugely out, as well as the 250 (which is actually 247) is anengine hp not a whp. With a map, decat and miltek it won't be more than 265 flywheel. Bearing in mind it is Haldex as well I would be expecting 220/230WHP. 1490kg car without the driver, gives 150bh/t.

Prawny Baby Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 As j-rod says really. These don't make 270 just with cams in, cams. exhaust, induction setup, map, and you will usually see 260-265ish, 270 maybe on a good one. So 290 on a bullshit dyno like AMD.One thing J-rod: your miles off on the whp estimate. 270bhp at the crank will typically get you just 200 atw, so even a worked 3.2 will be sub 200 atw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDoom Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Its not mine anyway, I really couldnt care less - If i'm perfectly honest. Just stating quoted figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Radical post warning - not a french FWD hatchback After 5 weeks in the paint shop, the M3 is ready. Should be ready in 2 weeks. Still need some fabrication, gear lever, hydro handbrake, dash and other small nonsense. Can't wait. It's going to be a f**king monster with that weight and a 4.45 final drive. Haven't seen the car yet, just got sent this pic a few days ago. This is the colour it should be in: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-comp-kierz Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I assume it's a 225 quattro TT? or is it just a 180? very different turbo inlet setups. Yeah its the 225. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just quickly back to the question from T comp whatever. You wouldn't stand a chance getting a Mikalor clamp onto the inlet, it is literally impossible to get the standard clamp on there. Let alone one which is a half inch wide. Personally I would forget about it and leave it. Prawn, my girlfriend and myself have driven our cars with the TIP clamp either not on, or flapping about for years. It is under negative pressure, so as long as your mum doesn't get under the bonnet and smash the TIP about it won't fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Lock-wire might work well depending on how tight it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Clean up the area and a couple dabs of superglue should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I doubt you'd be able to get the lock wire in there to be honest, it's SUCH a tight space you'd never do a good job IMO. The problem is that the outlet has no ridge or flange on it, as well as it only being about half an inch long. It's a spastic design. lolz, superglue. :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was actually going to suggest super-glue too. Not to glue the pipe on, but as epic thread-lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 The 800*'s would destroy that within about 2 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Except the intake's not at 800deg, or clamping the rubber hose would be pretty irrelevant when it melted, along with the aluminium compressor housing it's clamped to. Super-glue's tough stuff, it's also pretty damn cheep, and most people have some lying around, no harm in trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've never tried it but I've heard a couple of others recommend it. Literally just 4 dabs around the pipe, slip the hose on, then clamp away. No harm in trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Decided on where i'm taking my car to be remapped next week. RS tuning in Leeds, meant to have the best proven gains for my engine thus far, 1.8 TDCi. Their last run saw this. 115bhp, 184 ft/lb taken to 146bhp, 262 ft/lb Apparently that wasn't with any other mods. Mines been de-catted, has a cheapy cone filter aswell as all the inlet been cleaned out spotlessly and EGR blanked. It's a proper custom map, should hope so for £400!

JD™ Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 The traction control has been off of the beemer for a week or so now and I haven't killed myself. Rear tyres are definitely less healthy than they were though... SO MUCH FUN (for a motorway cruiser). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Remap came to £414 in the end. Bring on the 11th of June! My insides are itching already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Big wheels cost a fortune Si, as do tyres! You've been playing with little wheel until now Tell me about it. £420 to my door my Civic wheels cost me, from America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I was there, didn't realise you were going! I had to shoot off early, what time did it run? What did you think of it? Sounds awesome doesn't it? Can you email me a hi-res of that please? Edited May 21, 2012 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure of the time, I did hear, but I can't remember for the life of me, I was pretty out of it all day thanks to celebrating the end of uni several nights in a row. We didn't get there until 1pm, thanks to the aforementioned hangover, so probably would have missed you anyway by the sound of it. To be honest I didn't pay it much attention beyond going 'Hey, that's Jardo's works car!'. I'm sure it's nice and all, but there was plenty of much more exotic stuff of there that I was busy drooling over. What e-mail address do you want me to send the photo to? the one on your facebook?
