vr6 ?

[AudiA8Quattro]

its still a 'normal' 1.8t engine, it just isnt from a mk4

I think the thread started comparing the mk3 golf vr6 and mk4 golf 1.8T
Comparing a remapped S3 engine against a standard VR6 is ridiculous.
The standard 1.8T engine in the golf isn't particularly great.

The mk4 is heavier than the mk3. Brad, you can't say anything, your car is not a standard 1.8T.
And Dom, 245ft lb from just a remap?? 

Yup pretty much; remap, Forge 007p, pipercross filter & smoothed airbox:



That was on Carbon's rollers which are well known to be deadly accurate

That's pretty impressive.
What is the standard torque figure before remap?
I think your car would give my car some trouble

mine was standard when we was testing... completely killed that VR, made it look like a 1.3  


Len your right, mine isn't normal 1.8t tbh

Correct but a remap soon sorts that, I drove a std 150 before buying the vRS and the difference is night and day when you get to a 180bhp.

155lbs ft as standard, I think the 180bhp is around 177lbs ft.

Wayne beat me to it! 155lb/ft standard.

What power/torque is yours running?

[AudiA8Quattro]

So you can gain 90 ft lbs of torque from a remap? hmmm....
Brad, yours was 225bhp before remap?

Mine is not a golf.
Audi A8 4.2, 300bhp and 295ft lbs torque.
Shame about the auto box

correct you cant compare a turbo s3 lump to a vr6 n/a,but turbo the vr and its a different story my money would be on the 6 pot all day long

Anywhere between 235lb/ft & 245lb/ft is fairly common, mine's an AUM so has KO3s turbo as standard which helps

That's quite a lot more power & a fair amount of extra torque, although I guess the A8 is pretty heavy though?

[Wayne]

but turbo the vr and its a different story my money would be on the 6 pot all day long

But that is a whole different ball game and a lot more expensive.
