Funkyfive and his Golf Mk3 Cupra R (1.8T BAM on Emerald K6)

[funkyfive]

That JR is no way bigger than my K&N mate, id say its smaller, deffo not as much gauze area

your old one can't have been a genuine K&N ?   

The JR is fat compared to the K&N I have. Its the same one that is sold by Bill Badger with the 3inch TIP. Lol it better be good.

My old one is defo a K&N but came off my supercharger kit. So it was meant to be good for 300bhp.

Though I am not sure how they measure all of this lol

I have updated my blog with the print outs from the mapping session.

I made 254 bhp and 270 ft lb of Torque. The results are not bad, there is more power there but I had issues with high air intake temperatures on high boost for long periods of time. So a few more tweaks including a new thermostat, radiator, spal fans and larger intercooler.

Seems funny hearing a Mk3 owner say that...good power tho

Is there much difference when u take into account the weight etc?

The reason the 1.8t is known so well in a Mk2 is its common and agreed a great combo. Have you driven both a Mk2 and Mk3 1.8t?

Regarding my statement about mk4 this is in a joke with Toby as he's a local lad and the tunnel run is due soon. I actually have no idea regarding the ton weight of a mk3 vr6 with a 1.8t vs a mk4 agu k04 to be honest, though it would be interesting to know the power to weight ratio?

I think you should easily smoke a MK4 thats mapped for out and out BHP mate
iv had 3 mk4's, admittedly non was huge power but they are a lot more lardy than a mk3.. or at least feel it

i easily held onto a MK5 Annie which has a new shape Audi S3 2.0 TSFI engine installed (mapped to 340 bhp) and the MK5 is lighter than a Mk4  (so i believe ? )

forget the BHP.... and also a lot comes down to the driver... and the actual car set up

smoke him and shut him the f**k up i say
