and I'm stuck between the VW Bora 130 or the Seat Leon 110.
Wondering if anyone could help with giving me some performance figures after they have had a remap :smiley:
Cheers
Jon
-
Bora - circa 170bhp and 300lbs ft torque
Leon - circa 145bhp - not sure on the torque figure
Go for the Bora :wink:
-
I am moving more towards the bora everyday!
whats the 0-60 figures with 170?

Who cares!!? It's all about 30mph + :wink: How often do you launch it off the lights and to be honest, what's the point? :huh:
I had a Golf Mk4 running the same engine - ran approx 175bhp and 330lbs ft torque; overtaking was a rather simple affair :evil:
-
Very very true and im trying to get good MPG too! will the map improve the mpg figures or worsen them?
I look forward to the overtaking :evil:

Drive as normal and you'll get better MPG; drive it hard and you won't although I usually got 500 from the Golf no matter how I drove it; hard, short, long journeys etc etc :smiley:

ah i thought as much, any idea on the figures for the 115 model as well?
500mpg rhyso? it sounds amazing! :wink:

115 remaps to about 150 and 250ish lbs ft torque
Ha; 500 miles from a tank :tongue:

Get the 130 :wink:

Rhys,
Hit me up with the clutch combo you went for. I "think" my release bearing is knackered (can't really be sure) so need to get a replacement sometime in the near future.

I presume the Passat runs the same clutch as the MK4 :undecided: 240mm diameter?
I went for the Sachs Organic Clutch friction and pressure plate, an LUK flywheel and then a release bearing from VW
The clutch when I bought it was £460ish; now closer to £600 :sick:
Paid £200ish for the flywheel
£40 for the bearing
£200 for fitting
The clutch is good enough for 400lbs ft torque :evil:
Most people tend to stick with the standard clutch; I know Steve_PD has fitted another standard clutch as his lasted approx 80K after being remapped; mine lasted 2K after the Custom Code map :undecided:
-
Think the rats is 228mm... :huh: Could be a gearbox difference though, 6 speeds tended to have the larger plates on the rats.

Hmmm; all the 6 speed boxes in the Goof's are 240mm diameter; cheesed me off royally as it meant I couldn't fit the VR6 / G60 combo that all the petrol lads do

Get the 130 :wink:
I'll second that :wink:
110 is an epic motor for tuning but you do need to glue a fair amount of parts on to get to mapped 130 teritory in terms of power/torque.
130 is by far the best value in terms of Power/torque vs ££££
The only other consideration is the car itself - I dare say the Leon will handle a little better than the Bora (depending on individual spec/setup of course) however the build quality is not as good as the Bora.
All things considered I'd be in the Bora me thinks..........
-
I'll third that 130 PD is a lovely motor :smiley:
-
cheers guys well if anyone knows any links to bora 110's or 130's for sale that are around the £2000 mark that would be great :wink:

Went and got the bora yesterday :evil: :evil: :evil:

Sounds good.
Remap not a problem :wink: where are you?

Just realised your in Manchester Doc, im in Bracknell :sad:
Its about a 7 hour round trip unfortunately, do you know where else is best to get a remap a little closer?
is the 115 a bit better to tune than the 110? :smiley:

Like some sort of remapping mafia! Thanks dude speak tomorrow

115 should see a comfortable 140bhp plus a load of more useful torque and improved MPG, but only if you resist the temptation to use your new found power :grin: :grin:

Nice :cool: I'm loving the amount of torque already, as soon as you get out of 2nd gear it flys! hoping to have an even bigger grin after the remap :evil:
Any problems i should look out for on the 115? plus rhyso where do i post on here with bora related questions? :grin:

Just have a good check around your pipework from the EGR to the intercooler and if you can get your head under the car from the intercooler to the turbo. Make sure the seals, clips and lugs are in good condition as they can wear over time.
Whoever does the remap will have a look over things for you and also data log the car to make sure all the sensors are working / reading properly :nerd:
Bora = MK4 so post away in there :wink:

Sweet! Thanks for all the info :smiley:
