Update to the R-Tech diary/ gallery, been too busy taking pictures, but you have not not been missing much, just mk5 gti after mk5 gti for the last 2 weeks..lol thanks to mk5golf forum members.
Nice little mk3 with an engine conversion, running an AGU with uprated CR Turbo Ko3s 224bhp 225lbft after a 2 hour mapping session today, more to come. Its running a LSD with some kind of Audi 5 speed gear box with some awesome gear ratios, it gives the car a feeling of a big turbo power in 1st gear, no power until 4200rpm, but the power at 7000rpm feels like the power should be at 4000rpm... You know what I mean.
Yet another Seat Leon 170 stuck in DPF regen mode....
Booked in for a DPF hardware removal, virgin state ecu mapping then a custom remap if all is ok.
My drive way for the back log of work, one mk5 gti goes home and Audi 4wd 2.0TFSI fills the slot.
And the custom remap which I have spent the last week and around 50 hours working on getting it spot on.
Mk5 GTI with Audi S3 k04 turbo, S3 13% bigger injectors, uprated HPFP, turbo back exhaust ect... 335bhp
My longest custom remap in history (Yohan) VW Bora with 4 motion running gear and S3 AMK Ko4 engine setup , I already had car for over a month now.. :embarassed: but keep running into issues. New high flow fuel pump fitted to improve poor spary pattern and to get the actual lambda to match the requested values. From the seat of my pants testing I can tell straight away the pump has made a
huge difference to the performance... maybe we can run it at 24psi and make 275+bhp at the top end without any major pre ignition issues.
A mk5 140TDi which was booked in last week for a remap, which at the time we refused point blank to remap the car due to a sticky turbo VNT, customer rebooked in this week so we can fix the sticky turbo VNT then do a custom map setup. The funny thing is that this mk5 only has 45k on the clock.... but already has had a brand new OEM turbo fitted by the main dealer with in this 45k... and now the new turbo as clogged up... not good!!! I think other tuners will agree the worst VAG to tune is a 2.0l 140PD (cheese turbos)... nothing like the older 1.9Tdi setups.
Fingers crossed by sorting the sticky VNT and doing some unique R-Tech mods to the turbo hardware, this mk5 should be good for over 130k with the R-Tech remap. (It would have only lasted 2 weeks with the R-Tech and the sticky VNT.. even running on the low boost map setting of 1.45bar from the 1.35bar stock
:embarassed:
After the last month we have just had..IMO the busiest (hectic) of the year I find it hard to shut down and unwind, I lay in bed at 3am in the morning thinkng how I am going to tackle a customers car the next day....lol
Well I found the answer today....
MORE power and More Speed!!! A race setup 125cc go-kart.
