jus curious to know what my bhp is? as my mate recons i have 125 bhp! i drive 8v gti agg engine! its BOG standard too!
-
115 mate,pathetic isnt it! 16v has 150 and the vr6 is about 174 i think!
-
oh reet yea that does suck lol
i suppose i could get it to 125 with a few engine mods?
wat am i cappable of getting?
-
NOT MUCH :wink:

115 mate,pathetic isnt it! 16v has 150 and the vr6 is about 174 i think!
The valver isn't even 150bhp stock, VW just took it upon themselves to round up from 147 or something! :undecided:
Getting an extra 10 horses isn't hard, chances are your not even pushing 115bhp anymore though!
First of all full service, belts, oil, filters, ignition etc. Then a 'performance' exhaust, combined with your choice of cold air induction kits, not just banging on a cone filter! That might help get you a bit closer to what you're after. :afro:

Most people on ed38 say the 16V was limited to 147 so as to not hurt sales of the VR6 and that you can get 175bhp out of them easily, I myself don't think so as the 16v was aimed at a different market.

hope helps

I heard similar, wil get mine remapped one day! :rolleyes:
-
i got 176bhp as standard on my vr6 thats with 150k on the clocks in the summer on the rolling road. torque was down only got 225nm instead of 235nm

you think thats bad mate..... try owning a 1.9 diesel,
67 horses straight from the factory :(
-
Get a TDI, I get 89BHP and 210NM of torque :wink: But still :sick: its always gunna be a diesel :laugh:
-
Why does the 1.6 have more HP and a quicker 0-60?
-
My 16v ABF is only remaped and runs 174 bhp

How much was the remap? :huh:
-
24 bhp from a remap? :undecided:

26 bhp actually, & that sounds pretty good, opens the 16v upto what it's comfortable/should of been! :)
-
Id like to believe it but not convinced. If you can remap a bog std 16V to 174bhp then I'm sure everyone here with a 16V would. Your in Vr bhp territory then. Anybody else find this hard to believe or am i just been naive? What company did the remap for you / cost because If what your saying is fact then I'm sure they would get an awful lot of business from this forum alone

I'm in agreement... nearly 20% more power without any induction/exhaust/head work!!!
-
I remember len's car on the rolling road giving about 170bhp....... and then a few weeks later else where giving nearer 155bhp
(there really is huge differences on these rolling roads....and I'm sure alot of places set them to show better power!)
Unless my 8v really does have 136bhp!! :evil: (very very very very very unlikely!)
-
Sorry no remap will give you 24/26bhp.
-
I'm only going on what I've read here, but isn't the valver restricted because it was capable of giving similar Bhp to the VR?
Let's be honest, the VR has a pretty poor output for that size engine! :smiley:
-
Pretty sure the ABF was restricted by use of tame cams and restrictive inlet. You can't just turn off 12% of the power of an engine via the ECU and still get it to run right and be fuel efficient.

As said but also all engines are restricted in some way to make emmisions better, so the engine lasts longer and to increase mpg!!
the 16v possibly can give 175bhp by simply adjusting the electronics and "simple" parts but 148 is about right for the Era (the rival's rs2000 had 150, astra gsi had 150 too)

I have read that many times and I don't believe it, the VR6 was aimed at different market, as bb said 150 was about right for the time it was on sale.

Was lead the beleive that a remap on a 16v was good for about 6bhp. This was from a local specialist

Only 6 Bhp?? That's nothing? Why do people bother? :huh:

That sounds about right, you aren't going get big increases remapping an NA engine.
-
6 bhp to me sounds right aswell. Gains of 26 bhp with a std turbo engine no problem but our 16v's no chance. If only it could be done :smiley:. I'm sure R-tech would back that up
-
bhp gains will be low on a n/a car but its the amount of mappable things you can do ie setting the torque where you want on the power band etc. that appels from a remap
-
Hey.
I read my printout completly wrong.
The car went in as 148.4bhp and after a livemap was 165.1.
I understand some rollers are different but the gain was noticeable!
Believe it or not, as long as i noticed it thats all what counts!
-
that sucks.......the AGG is slower than the 2E/ADY!!!! :rolleyes:
anyone know why??? :laugh:

I think the ADY has a crossflow head.
-
dont rely on any performance figures as eahc engine delivers its power different...but its more likely the 2e is the fastest with it having bosch injection ,then the ady as it has a higher compression ratio and thanks to emmsion rules the agg crawls behind :grin:
