How fast (really) is a remapped ED30?

[joesgti]

Not sure mate.. Just haven't seen one make that yet..
Only one way to settle this..
Ed30 v's GTI battle @ Pod... 

good idea, il defo be up for it and il go against phil in his superfast dsg ed30!!! u fancy organising it ben

But I would say a mapped ED30 would be comparable to a 280bhp JRSC'd CTR roughly mate..[/quote]

Nooooo way, my JRSC CTR was as quick as my 420bhp S3!! From 50mph anyways..

whats a JRSC CTR?? any pics?? or is it a supercharged ctr

lol, thats sounds good joe, does a manual Standard GTi hit sixty in under 6 seconds??? or even launch option??. Maybe put Ben behind the

wheel and who knows!!!!!!

Most tuners are known to over state the true state of horsepower gains from a remap, Robins car Isnt sick at all!.I even tried to chase Lee's

ed30 Manual bluefin car(Cocopops), and that only just was faster to around 70 and then it just kept going whilst mine was making slower progress into

3 figure Territory. i know both these cars are Not sick at all, and this was over a good 50 mile trip in area's where the motorways were empty.

Put your car on a set of Dyno dynamics rollers and then perhaps your claimed 255hp will have some substance .i know each car is different, but i learned

a standard car will only produce stock bhp from those rollers and not overhyped 215hp etc and then adding a further 50hp from remapping a k03 stage 1.

Great pic komenda!!! im 6ft 4, so i might hit level 5 on the wall!

ive never said a std gti can do 0-60 in under 6 secs??? i was comparing a std ed30 to mapped gti. and yes...... of course a manual has launch controll, except its called "skill"

oh and my gti does do it in less than 6secs,

Im not trying to say your cars not producing what you say joe, but get your Car on Dyno Dynamics rollers if you can. Also looking foward to

seeing these videos that you say you have. Wont proove anything more but be good viewing all the same.

Both yours and mine will perform very simular , but i dont agree that a remapped stage1 GTi is "ALOT" faster then a stock ed30 as youve quoted.


Heres my rolling road evidence, i dont have robins. From memory his was about 275 lbs Ft of torque to my 250lbs ft, and 3 hp difference.



Joe , do you still have your Graph so i can see your torque curve etc?

[joesgti]

is that a certain kind of rolling road?? if so where are they at.....in the north?? whats the one at awesome??

i remember gaz saying a few weeks ago that he was going to one when his s3 is worn in abit more so il probs tag along  i remember ben being interested aswell

[Saint Steve]

yes Ben was going to try Dyno dynamics dyno, there is one but its not awesomes rollers. Another company has them. Ben will know.

My 2P's worth...

I used to have a modded MKV R32. It had the Milltek system, Schrik Cams, remap and CAI. It was dyno'd at 296bhp but it does weight more than an ED30.

However, in the real world, I think turbo'd cars do have the advantage because they have a much more usable band of power. How fast is it? Well compared to the majority of cars.....I'd say fast. In fairness, if you take the number of cars on the road, most are Fiestas, Mondao's, Vectra's, etc with 1.6 or 1.8 litre engines. Yeah you've got a few BMW's, but rarely do you see a hot one and by hot I mean something like an M5, not an asthmatic 330i or something.

Therefore it's fair to say that and ED30 would take most cars on the road. I know that with my Elise now (dyno'd at 234bhp), there is very little on the road that would keep up with it. That was until I swapped cars with my dad at a recent track day and drove his 997 Turbo to realise that, as fast as the Elise is, it's not a supercar!

But in the main, I'd say the ED30 is a quick car and probably the quickest of the hot hatches.

no, i dont have my last graph, (i actually forgot it at awesome :embarassed: :embarassed:) but the torque was around 280 i think, and power at 230 with a big boost problem,
