Who said the Fabia vRS couldnt get below 6 seconds 0-60?

I see another "stock" car on there making 195bhp....... would love to get mine on the rollers to see where it is.

all dynos where done without the intake , on 1 of the newest dyno in germany . 1 waltz dyno

my fab is from april and the software from a february one didnt work ..... so we had to make a complete new one .

As i have said many times before if you want to think you have 190hp stock take it to a generous dyno. If you want stock figures put it on a dyno dynamics.

Here's a question for you guys if you put your stock vRS on dyno dynamics rollers, and made 178hp(180ps) and then ran it on a different rolling road and made 195hp. Which would you quote if someone asked you and why. I would always quote the lower personally or the closest to the stated output.

What I find strange is that your remap has only yielded 14hp peak gains which is tiny and 20hp midrange. Mine yielded 30hp peak with 60+ in the mid range. Your mapped figures look about right but your stock doesnt. Your stock reading is pretty much 20-30hp up on both my stock dyno graphs from 2 different rolling roads but torque is the same pretty much as mine

I accept all cars will differ slightly some will perform high, some low but thats one hel of a difference even with dyno lottery.

Im ever the conspiracy theorist lol.

How was the car mapped. On the dyno, on the road or both

lol.... I always wonder why "wheel horsepower" isn't whats the important figure, but hey , everyone may expand on figures....

but si, your 178 (ish haven't checked the figure) was on quite a new car, I know mine is much better at 12k, than it was at 1k... the fuel economy figures prove its more run in, yours may be due an extra 10 bhp after 10k? :)

my car has 3500 and feels no different to when it was mapped at 800miles. Jasons boc had about 15k on the clock and made less so I srptill don't buy the extra power. Not 10hp anyway

btw how do you run the dyno ? EWG or DIN ?

@ confide : I would lke to see a pic of you engine bay

the freaking intake makes me wanna scream . isnt there an ITG one for the fab rs ?

GPS doesnt instantly update depending on the quality of system depends on how often they update

GPS also is never 100% accurate

The 200mph bike club run events where bikes are timed through a speed trap they see 14mph difference at 200mph between the actual speed and the gps speed

Might as well use a stopwatch and a speedo

His gains don't seem as much because he started with more power :)

I had a GPS based Racelogic performance box which updated every 1/10th of a second, was accurate to 0.1kph/0.1mph and over 400m was accurate to 10cm - guaranteed by the maker.Some of these boxes are accurate to 0.02 second and 0.01kph/mph. These instruments are VERY accurate nowadays. A speed trap is based on laser technology and has been proven to be innacurate depending on how you point it at the target and how well trained/steady handed the operator is! B)

I used Torque to measure 0-60 and got a figure of 6.7s in sport mode with TC on.

 

How accurate do you think this is?

Probably quite, but if .2 to .5 seconds out then not... you should get that if the TC is on and the tyres do not spin, 

if they did spin then the TC can slow you down.

 

?

Are your ballast weights off the rear so that the front is not going light under acceleration?

 

Why not to 62 mph / 100km/h ?   What has 60 mph to do with anything?

What do you get in 'D' to 60 mph?

I spotted this posted last year,

lots of wheel spin in 'S', and the speed is no use for going be the time to 60 as they usually are not accurate unless you have yours by tyre size reading as the speed really is.

Measured my 0-100 km/h again and good some super figures :-).

 

Changed my tyres to goodyear eagle f1 asymm. 3 (highly recommending it), and installed a k&n sportsfilter. 

 

Engine's completly stock. CTHE.

How do you set 0-100 instead of 0-60. I changed the units in Torque to Km.

 

Getting 6.3 in D and 6.4 in S

Umm.... Go to "realtime informations", press and hold your finger on the screen and add a display. Now navigate to "Digital Display" and press on it.

There you're able to choose whatever times you want.

What surface, that high grip european tarmac by chance? Avoiding TC seems to be the key, I suspect shortshifting to 2nd at 6k and 3rd at 6.5k might be slightly quicker that the red line, if only because triggering a manual shift, at least with mine, makes more of a bang shift where the auto rides the clutch a bit.

Not sure if it's THAT high grip european tarmac. It just was a road in Germany lol. TC is cutting power a lot. You'll feel that when accelerating and turning it off while accelerating but only on low gears where the car would wheel spin.

 

Shortshifting indeed has it's effect. When shortshifting I am quicker to 60mph but the gap to 0-100 km/h or say those least 2.5 mph is bigger. Usually the gap is around 0.1 to max. 0.2 seconds but here, as you may see in the picture I've posted, the gap is much bigger, almost 0.4 seconds lol. With some even better tyres (Yokohama, Semi Slicks) I have (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3) I guess I am able to get below 6.0 seconds to 60 mph, maybe 5.95 or something like that. Had a little bit wheel spin on first gear.

 

I am recommending the 34H5 gearbox service campaign. Car's shifting now a lot of faster:

Edit: Ha, had a good idea. How about talking to a tuner who knows how to remap a Twincharger and saying to him he should limit the revs to 6.200 rpms just for gear 1 to 3 :-)

 Blue spark box setting 3 (200 ish hp), GFB DV+, no bumper weights.

 

The mod that made the difference: new pilot sport 4 front tyres.

60ft is abit slow my monte does it in 2.2. 

That is the downside of the DSG, but it is only in the first 60ft. 

It was set on a private road with a decent surface, full throttle launch from idle in manual mode with TC on. I don't know what I could have done better to be honest, any ideas?

TC 'Off'.   

Gear stick across to manual 1st, hold the car on hand brake not foot on brake. 

 Floor it, do not change gear the DSG will even in Manual. 

 

Change gear yourself at about 100 mph from 4th to 5th.
