Title: golf gti turbo vs civic type r
Post by: johnnyvr6 on 24 January 2012, 16:23
hi i have just had a play with a ctr on a long bypass near me,he had me at the lights for about 100 meters but i started reeling him in,i thought i would of got wasted as mines is only meant to be 180 bhp that is the first time iv git it some properly,it was spinning the front wheels in 2nd gear lol,im not sure it is 180 brake i think its more,i need to get on some rollers and see what the old girl is pushing

What do type R's have as standard anyway? So you got smoked yea, after how long were you 'reeling' him in? I think the type R would win...

Great story but you wouldnt beat a type r full stop.
If you think different go have a race with some corners thrown in and see how well you do :smiley:

mine has meant to have a remap to 180 bhp and a 007 recirc thats it,i know i wouldn't beat a type r im just saying i was chuffed that mine didnt get beat royally,tbh it was pissing down and we were both strugleing to get the power down,wait till my k04 and stage 2 remap come,i will bump into him again then lets see what happens lol

i cant believe a mk4 turbo would keep up anywhere near a type r not in a million years

honda civic type r
Kerb Weight 1204kg


golf mk4 turbo

kerb wieght
1345kg

type are producing a further 17 bhp than a 180bhp golf and also weighs 130kg less

Two very different cars with two totally different power deliveries

I could pull away from a Type R in 6th when my old TDI was still standard  :grin: :grin:  He changed down a couple of gears and then most likely got done for speeding about a mile down the road as he went flying past a speed camera  :laugh: :laugh:

A lot of petrols are making diesel torque now.  Ive seen k03s pushing 285bhp on numerous rollers.  Mine ran 298lbft (403nm) on R-tech rollers.

Its all about the area under the graph if you ask me!

Mine is running 245lb/ft with nothing more than a remap, that's getting on for 100lb/ft more than a type-r!

In fairness CTR's are all bhp and no torque, the vtec has never been known for it's proper muscle.  They're wiley little cars though, massive big go-karts!

Mine's an AGU, re-mapped, air filter, and putting out 235lb/ft torque!

Post by: benvictors on 24 January 2012, 23:43
My VR beats Type R's all day long as soon as theres a little bit of an up hill gradient, the torque figures are sh!te on the Type R's
The 2nd Gens (around 2002) are 200 BHP but only 145ft/ib
The 3rd Gens (2005 on) are 198bhp and only 142ft/lb  :shocked:
Dom's GTI T would eat most Type R's all day long, and standard GTI T's wont be far behind

Hence why the CTR pips most things off the line, then gets creamed once you've got into second gear.

Had a stab against my mate in his 59 reg CTR a few weeks ago, he now needs wants a supercharger as I walked him rather badly  :grin:

his is stock too, so 6.5 to 60mph against mine at 5.1. Manual V DSG.  :grin:

I told him, but he wanted to see if mine was really that fast.......then after I took him out in it and he agreead it was much faster than his....even when his Vtec kicked in! :laugh:

Ive had many trips in an integra and its only torque-less  say in 5th at 30

then people will say it needs to be in high revs to get going but everybody races at top end revs anyway?

You dont see rossi screwing his bike keeping it below 3'000 rpm do you...

Most VW owners are only quick to slag of hondas because they are better driving machines, shame they sound like dysons  :grin:

VW didn't really design the Golf to be as all out, more all round comfort/efficiency with good performance. The MK4 was the worst one so far. Getting 200bhp out of a VW 16v involves a big wallet and a lot of time/expertise. VTEC engine it's a lot easier, the VW 5 valve tech was an improvement mind.
Title: Re: golf gti turbo vs civic type r
Post by: benvictors on 17 March 2012, 09:38
Actually the 5v tech wasn't all that great, hence why they changed back to 4v for the 2.0tfsi engine.
A 16v engine actually breathes better than a 20v :shocked:.... go figure :embarassed:

i test drove a ctr when i was looking for a new car, was ok but not that fast, certainly not quick enough to justify the fuel bill, plus when youve finished acting twit and just want to drive somewhere the ride is shocking!

ended up buying a leon fr tdi 150bhp which when mapped was quicker for normal driving 90% of the time and did 58mpg (obviously didnt corner like the type r but didn't shatter you spine when you ran over a cats eye either!)

and as not to seem bias i also bought and broke (best thing you could do with a 150bhp mk4 in my opinion) a mk4 1.8t. That was Slooow, but mroe comfortable than a type r lol (to be fair death is probably more comfortable than driving around sheffield roads in a type r)

Replaced our mk4 1.8t with a Type R about 5 years ago, both brand new when purchased and both standard.  1.8t was no match for the Type R in performance not in a million years, only thing it bettered the Type R in was comfort.  I've recently had a 1.8t that was reputedly 210bhp and it was still no match for a standard Type R, end of story girls.

Not doubting German engineering, just proving that honda is better  :wink:

Mk4 gold is more about cruising, comfort and having abit of poke, the honda is more focused but can still be a daily. Old people and bad backs will always back the golf.....

Hi, I'm new here and have a mk4 1.8t. I have owned it now for 3 years, its all standard plus polybushed and every sensor replaced. I look after it well and love it. Since I been playing with it, and this car has not been mapped or bigger turbo etc, its all completely original, it has kept up with a 2008 m3, an s500 a few scoobies and even an evo, though that left me for around 100 mtr lol, my question is, can't these people drive their flash cars properly, or is my car gonna blow up. My mpg is fantastic at any speed, pulls with constant accelleration from 2000rpm to redline and still wants to go. It's been running like this for over a year without any hickups apart from spark plugs which once replaced from bosche to ngk, the car has ran like silk. Is my car running lean, and being an engineer, I know that cosworth (mahle) built pistons for our cars. I also know the pressure and temp these things can take as well as our incredibly strong block and head. I have the agu engine so no 279valve and no limp mode. Our little k03 has only a 4mm shaft so apparently a poor point. But these were tested to destruction by Borgwarner, the makers and they pushed them to 300'000 rpm and still never failed after 10 mins of glowing. Oh, I have never lost against any ctr, cupra r, tt's or ashtray vxr. Have I discovered a secret or shall I wait for the big bang.

hi i have just had a play with a ctr on a long bypass near me,he had me at the lights for about 100 meters but i started reeling him in,i thought i would of got wasted as mines is only meant to be 180 bhp that is the first time iv git it some properly,it was spinning the front wheels in 2nd gear lol,im not sure it is 180 brake i think its more,i need to get on some rollers and see what the old girl is pushing
My mk 4 is totally standard, no chip or anything, agu engine and I can easily leave ctr on straight line, just not on corners yet. It has kept every bit of the way with an m3 and god they sound lovely at high revs. Kept with s500 on way home from work and he looked very surprised. Played with a few scoobies as wanted to see what my golf could do and pushed a megane 225. If you dont mind what could happen, wind that waste gate open till about 1/4 inch of thread left. our cosworth (mahle) pistons are forged and so can take running a lil lean no problem, the k03 was actually tested to 300'000 rpm for 10 minutes glowing without any failures, 4 times too and our blocks are cast iron. The turbo is beyond its efficientcy, but being little, is capable of the higher rpm speeds and stresses. Measure a gt30r blade diameter, then the shaft size. Now bring down that size of blade equally with the shaft diameter to the same size as a k03, you will see that that the k03 is bigger and so for stronger. Our new turbos, 300 quid lol, mines been running like this over a year now and regularly gets abused due to love my stomach being left behind and upsetting drivers of much more expensive cars. Oh, and the 5th gear pull, wow.

Oh my days.

Who honestly gives a feck.  There is so much tripe in this thread it stinks.  Lets face it, most people who own fast cars can't drive fast. My car isn't the fastest but it has me as a driver and as a result, between us, we would be able to beat everything mentioned. So there. [/End thread]
