Edition 30 GTI Engine?

[Ollieb7]

mmm..thought there HAD to be a difference somewhere ED30 / S3

I used to have quite a cool water spray on the intercooler on my Evo6

Was operated via a switch by the gear shift

Eye but did you actually use it and did you notice it do any more than just make a 'skooshy' sound?

for anyone that doesnt understand, but im sure most of us do 

a larger intercooler does not give anymore power full stop.

if 2 identical cars were raced against each other, but one had a larger intercooler and the other car had a small intercooler, they would set off with the same horse power, after lets say 1 lap, the car with the small inter cooler would start to suffer from heat soak, and therfore start losing bhp gradually. the car with the large intercooler would nearly have the same as when it set off.

anyway heres a dyno from a seat leon cupra thats just been remaped to 312 bhp apparently they alter the traction control in with the remap so that it all copes with the power

312bhp

Here's hoping REVO, Superchips et al can give us similar...and soon

nah not at all.......would imagine it helped the heat soak 'issue'.......but never really noticed

the ed 30 gti has the same engine upgrades as the s3, over the standard gti.

Not quite.

Just to be slightly pedantic, the Ed30 has the same engine "internal" upgrades, as well as the same turbo as the S3.  However, the S3 has a much larger intercooler, whereas the Ed30 and the standard GTI share the same weedy intercooler!

Thanks for correcting me there   (thats what i meant to say  )  Seems like there is alot of potential for engine mods then.  How would they alter the traction on the leon cupra exaclty?  Also, would all this remapping have an overall effect on the life of the engine?

Oh yeah, and roll on March

from what i can grasp, it doesnt make it grip any better, it just smoothly limits the power if it starts to spin, i hope its instead of the esp already fitted, when me TT started to spin, the esp would kick in and it felt like the motor had gone bang, and nearly sent me through the windscreen

Spoke to Superchips today

He can come out, remap and increase it to 280Bhp at least (they havent done one yet)

Which sounds great to me !

That will do me for starters

If you get it done lets know what you get.

 Would you consider a rolling road test or rolling road day to see what you achieve from the remap?
