getting an 8v to rev faster
« on: 01 August 2011, 13:02 »
as above realy. as some may be aware that i have stuck in a lightweight & balanced flywheel. now my mate drove it (he drives a cupra R REMAPPED) and says mine dont rev fast enought. i know its an 8v but i wanted to know what else i can stick on it to make it rev that bit better? car atm has a cat and a straight pipe to the backbox. no other mods performance wise.

many options are welcome but not p1sstaking 1's :grin:

when you say rev fast enough, do you mean when stationary?

sorry i think i have confused everyone. it reves all they way into the redline.
my mate drove my car after we spoke about few things that we have done to our cars. after he drove it he said it was sluggish and only starts reving faster once it gets past certain revs (about 2500RPM)
