How fast (really) is a remapped ED30?

[Vtec Abuser]

Not the prettiest thing in the world (reason for selling it)





...but it went very very well!



Yeah that Vx220 is mega quick, pretty cool that a little practical hatch can keep up though!!

Mmmm mmmm mmmm I like that. Love the rims too..
A sleek coupe the CTR is not, but they still look mint in a 'Track Attack' sort of way (if done right) if you know what I mean..
Will always have a place in my heart for them..  (hense the user name  )

Im glad it is as fast as your saying, reading the mk4 forum they ll make out there remapped cars are capable of beating much quicker cars so i was hoping it wasnt the same story here 

Whos ever said that then?? Ive not seen it   

What cars have thay said thay can beat?? 

Unfortunately I couldnt get passed it, but I did keep up with a 56 reg BMW 650 coupe in my 1.8T upto 110mph before we both backed off (for a corner which is notorious for police sitting on the other side of).

I took a MK5 Gti last night, off a round about he fell back but was trying, thank fook there wasnt any corners i think he'd have pumped me P6000's are pants!!

Mk4 GTis are a joke.

LOL @ this. Like been said already, £500 on a remap and you got a clio sport/honda type r/BMW 320/etc beater so they aint that much of a joke are they?

Ive yet to come accross a fast MK4, im not sure where the cars are being dynoed but i think they are well over reading. A dyno gives a great idea of a performance increase but unless you take the engine out to dyno it you have no idea of the true power coming out. No one on the ctro forum has come across a fast mk4 either, no matter how modded (well unless they have had bigger turbos put on)! Mine is modded at 220bhp and when i had a little play with a mk4 with apparently 220 bhp it was very far behind and, as far as i know, there isnt a huge amount of difference in weight?

Heres a quick vid of mine. It was very wet so half throttle in 1st and backed off after 95 (my private runway was running out  ) It seems quicker now but my exhaust was new and i had little fuel then so probly why. Il get a decent one soon.

so you pick out 3 quotes from way back yonder and say we're talking out of our arse? 

you not read this thread 
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=64070.0

and yes i claim i've beaten faster cars but as you say it all depends on the other driver - what i will say is i've caught a few by surprise 

[Rhyso]

there's a rolling road day in October at JKM - why don't you pop over as there's a few MKIV's there and we will see what they are actually acheiving  (or as close as is possibly accurate)

Jkctr ,that video of your Ctr, to 100, it does look slower to the ed30. Notice even though the Civic revs to 100,000rpm, it still only gets to 60mph before needing 3rd!.

LOL - would that be the one fitted with a jet turbine engine?     

[Jkctr]

Had mine done at one of the best tuners for type r's at tdi north (owner of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgweQp1Y2Qo&feature=related)

Heres the read outs





(sorry for rubbish pics)

As with any car you get people who talk sh!t and sensible owners who dont. We get morons who claim to beat faster cars on the ctro site!

Will be interesting to see some of the results from the RR day!

Yeah, before KPRO (ecu/remap) it has to actually be put into 3rd to hit 60. With KPRO the limiter is raised to 8600 and 60 is achievable in 2nd. I had to really becareful in 1st where it was raining so used very little throttle (you can see i change early) I doubt it is quicker than standard ed30 tbh!

indeed - i'm aiming for 400bhp and 1000lbs ft torque - should see off most cars 







being slightly realistic i'm aiming for 160bhp and around 285lbs ft torque
