Hurdy's Golf .:R - project 600bhp.

[Hurdy]

Update...
Been out late today to get a run or two to see how the car is running. Did an each way 0-60 run to get a more accurate average. Downhill the 0-60 was 3.2, uphill it was 3.7. Works out at an average of 3.45 seconds for the dash to 60. The car is running very strong and is currently in race mode on wmi.  


A bit bored this afternoon resulted in.........


Stealth WMI. LOL

Tough call, even the 740bhp 3.6litre twin turbo Golf R only managed a 3.1 to 60mph!

The R is amazing to drive, whether it is casually driving around town or out on a spirited drive  in the countryside or even blasting down the motorway.

To put the car into a category for the 0-60 time you are looking at the cars below to get a similar acceleration.......

Lamborghini Reventon - 3.4 seconds
Porsche 997 GT2 - 3.4 seconds
Ferrari 458 Italia - 3.4 seconds
Ferrari Enzo - 3.5 seconds
Nissan GTR35 - 3.5 seconds
Pagani Zonda F - 3.6 seconds

Christ on a bike! Thats probably still less than a fifth of the price of the cheapest one of them, even with mods! So whats the plans next then, Upgraded turbo aside? Do you need to do any mods or upgrades to compliment the turbo?

The plan is to get a decent decat on the car as well as an uprated in-tank pump and some small tweaks before moving on to a bigger turbo. I don't want to ruin the day to day drive ability by going with something too big as that isn't the point of this car. I want a decent gain of probably 50bhp over what I have now without sacrificing spool. A hard task, but it will get there.
