So is a remapped 1.8 turbo actully fast ? I know it wouldn't be as quick as modern day hot hatches at focus vxr astra ect
Reason i ask is because I used to own a 306 gti-6 and I'd like that power again but want more refinement.
-
Not that quick tbh - its heavy and as you say old now lots of new cars are quicker inc diesels. :smiley:
-
So it woundnt be quick as a gti-6? Don't suppose you've driven one though

Ive not driven one but i would say the pug is quicker.
-
it wont be as quick as todays cars as they come out the factory with more power to start with but a remap certainly brings them to life and gives you a big fat grin :grin:
i think a mapped 1.8t will be quicker than a gti6 as they only 170bhp a mapped 1.8t your looking at 180+ and the torque figure
-
My stage 1 golf wasn't too embarrassed by a focus st on a long private road he wasn't that much quicker and I had a passenger and a saxo rear axle (don't ask). It quicker than a friends APY S3 too (providing its dry) although I guess its an old car too really. A VXR would slaughter me i'd imagine :grin:
They're not fast really but with a remap they are cheap performance considering how much the cars cost nowadays. The engines are pretty flexible and an AUM/AUQ with a k03s make decent power really.

vxr slaughtered me a few days ago so i just took a different exit :laugh:

Think the pug would be quicker aswel it was pretty rapid pulled like a train

How heavy is a pug though? Tin can.........

Even if it is slower in a straight line. It will handle better thats for certain :grin:

We don't talk about corners in the mk4 section.

gti6 are very quick as my mate had one just couldnt afford the fuel

My mate had a gold pug GTI 6 and we found it slow.... compaired to my Suzuki Swift GTI which was standard at the time of test (100bhp) the pug couldnt keep up
id say a decent map on a mk4 1.8T would be quicker however the mk4 is a bit lardy..
if you have a mk4 with the K0s3 turbo, and have that mapped, the pug would have no chance, even more so if you fit a K04
-
Just buy a mk2 and stick a 1.8t in. Problem solved :cool:

time to buy and map a diesel then :wink:
-
Get a Leon Cupra R if you can :smiley:
Map to 250/260bhp (should beat a 306 easily as standard), Brembo Brakes, better suspension bushes ARB and wishbones.
Also alot nicer inside I think.

lardey leon cupra's even heavier than the mk4.
-
What makes you say that?
-
Id love a cupra r but it's out of my price range at the minute

Agreed, other than the interior. I think the LCR dash & switchgear feels cheap compared to the golf.
I'm not sure what power I'm running, it was mapped at 205bhp & 245lb/ft. Since then I've added silicone boost pipes, silicone TIP and 3" turbo back exhaust with decat. I'm guessing around 215bhp?
Anyway, I gave a Focus ST an extremely hard time the other week. Completely glued to his rear bumper until the traffic got busier & I backed off.
-
Theres no wood inside them :grin:
Im running 210bhp, 230ft/lb and gave it a hard time :smiley: I think he was surprised anyway.
-
thats what makes the mk4 look heavy is all that fooking timber inside :grin:
-
Germany's finest plastic timber.
-
Just buy a veyron, quicker than most things :grin:
-
Depends how far u go.... Mines slow :kiss:
-
What makes you say that?
seat leon cupra r = 1376 kg.
mk4 golf 1.8t = 1238 kg
-
if i had the money to bye a veyron i wouldnt be on here infact i wouldnt be on this island :grin:
-

1+ i agree. a saxo vts isnt much slower than a gti6 1.8ts arnt too bad! there torquy which is what every1 forgets. just chavvy french owners love bhp! haha id happly race a gti 6 in mine and mines roughly around 200 bhp, dare i say a standard mk4 1.8t would have a chance against a gti6
-
Them sh!tty French things,, on way home from Drayton manor to day and a 106gti kick the sh!t out my golf but I was 4up,, stops and askd him Wots in that and he done a mi16 track 106 was rapid

Go to YouTube type gti-6 top gear that's all thank you
:grin: I really hope you come across one
Could you take a pic of your face after you've raced one?
-
you tube isnt real life :) ive done one better... as i said a saxo vts isnt much slower i was in the saxo. and that same saxo off the lights upto 40 is half a car lenght or maybe a full car behind my golf but once its going it has no chance, if you think a gti6 pulls like a train. honestly drive a 1.8t with around 200 bhp and i promise you, the gti6 will feel like a 1.0 litre corsa il take a pic of the gti6 drivers face when he looses with his 167 bhp and no torque and then his gay rear axle falls off..

illl smoke ya gti6 all day

'Honey I f**king am turning its the damn understeer!!!!'
*Crash in a ball of flames*

I got a golf Anni which is 180 as standard. I had a dabble the other day and I was about 1 car length in front of the Gti-6. Very very similar powerwise though :grin:

illl smoke ya gti6 all day
If yours is 200bhp or more then you might beat one Just
-
a K03 remapped would do that
let alone supporting mods, K03s, K04

yes seen you tube and that golf is a 2.0 not the 1.8t
-
Are you def? He says 1.8 litres 20 valves a turbo ect zzzz bore off
-
Not arguing was just asking if it was as quick so I'd think about getting one but the handling is to dreadful I think :/
-
yes its a 1.8t in standard form when you start adding maps and mods etc its a different ball game
-
It's ££ though ain't it! It's fookin sh!te as standard
Il quote Clarkson ... "abit like the old golf,and that was about as sporty as actually playing golf"
-
what car have you got ?
-
Are you def? He says 1.8 litres 20 valves a turbo ect zzzz bore off
sorry my mistake :embarassed:
but spend £150 getting it remapped and it would be a very different race.
-
Map + coolies is how it should of come as stock, a different ball game altogether.
From stock setup, add FMIC, braided hoses, good disc pad and brake fluid and it track ready to handle a lot of abuse. When I took stock owners out they get a shock of how little body roll, improved acceleration and how well it brakes.
-
Fmic what's that?
-
Front Mount InterCooler
-
FRONT MOUNT INTER COOLER (fmic) :wink:
-
beat you to it cully lol :kiss:
-
:angry: :kiss: :grin: :laugh:
-
So how much €$£ we looking at for one?
-
anything from £180-£650 new and depends what you want
-
cheap poorly fitting one from toyosports on ebay £200+ or good fitting one from forge, THS performance & pro alloy £500+
-
Personally its not about the car its the driver, :shocked:
I woundnt drive any french cr@p but have had 2 Astra Vxr,s they are pretty nippy, my mate has a vectra Vxr and I can keep with him where we drive and Im running 221 against his 255
-
Regardless of speed, a golf will be a much nicer car to be in than a 90's 306.
