Hello, first sorry if I do not understand, since I use the translator! xD. Two months since I bought the Fabia vRS, and love does, but highway I had problems with a Fiat stilo (Abarht imagine), and 206 (I think it was 1.6 :| !!!!), in both cases S mode and throttle fully depressed.
- I think the DSG in auto mode not fail while the engine power and the suspesion is very soft. I want to buy the TMC tuning box and ITG induction kit, will the power increase is noticeable? I recommend changing or car ..

Maybe I still do not get full power to the car ... My previous car was a mini cooper S r53 kompressor

You shouldnt of had problems with either of those the vrs is pretty quick standard.

I find and will always find I am cautious and therefore reluctant if it comes to someone trying to out run me. There are nutters around especially youngsters and company car drivers who always think they can pick on any car and win - although they wouldn't. Some people still presume small car, not fast... The Fiat Stilo Abarth is a slow car in terms of acceleration

EduVRS,

i read your post in the Introduction section, and your car looks great.

 

??

Is it only 2 months old now & a 2013 Car, with a CTHE Engine.?

Do you run it on 98 ron/Octane fuel.

 

Maybe worth having it checked on a Dyno to see what power it is putting out.

Be sure that all is correct before trying to enhance the performance.

 

As to the suspension, you might see some suggest mods in the different posts inn this section,

or in the Project Journal Section.

My car is July 2012, I always use 98 octane, the car is perfect and I love it, but I think the problem is that the DSG a march over what should be left.

Driving at 100km / h (60mph) I floor the accelerator and put in 4, but 3 has much more power .... maybe the problem is I have to get used more.

Thank you very much George!

The Supercharger is from 0 (800 rpm) -2,400 rpm. and the Supercharger & Turbo from 2,400 rpm. Turbo only from 3,500 rpm.

 

The Max Torque is from 2,000 - 4,500 rpm.  

thats why you are finding the power in the gears that you are.

 

Very different from a Cooper S,  both the first Supercharged ones, then the Cooper S Turbo from 2007

 

This link might show you where the power is with the diagram...

(this is for the less powerful engines than the 132-136kW in the 4 newer Twinchargers.

 

 

It is very interesting, thanks george, I'll take this week to a dyno and I will tell

Hello, I have been testing the car in S mode and pressing the accelerator background:
 

 

62mph-87mph: 5 seconds (100-140 km / h)
62mph-93mph: 6 seconds (100-150 km / h)
62mph-100mph: 9 seconds (100-160 km / h)

37mph-100mph: 11 seconds (60-160 km / h)

 

reviews!!!!! 

Sorry,  

no idea, 

But then personally i never accelerate in 'S' and never will. So i know accelerating speeds in 'Manual', or in 'D' only.

And in 'D; either kicking down or doing a double kick down.

 

Hopefully others can comment.  Hopefully someome with the Newer engines ie CTHE

Hola Edu,

 

Bienvenido a Briskoda, cualquier pregunta que tienes y que no encuentras la respuesta en Ingles, enviáme un mensaje y intentaré ayudar.

 

The figures don't mean a great deal to me but I know that in most everyday situations where you aren't mixing it with tuned cars and much more expensive high performance cars you should find the vRS is quick, surprisingly quick, surprising for the other drivers.

 

I found S mode was a waste of time until my car was remapped, D is fine but if you want to get to know what the car can do and which gear/which revs you need to play in manual mode.  if it still isn't at least keeping  up with Golf GTI's and the like then something isn't right.

 

Saludos

 

Mark

 

 

Thank you very much Mark, if you have doubts ask you.

I have done this test to see if the car was losing power, or have a problem.

I hope they tell me if the results are similar, I did not notice anything unusual but it is not normal for me to follow a Stilo Schumacher

Just been looking at some times i have for a standard vRS and with it @ Stage 1.  Timed with a VI Monitor.  (not sure on your timing.)

http://vi-performance.com

 

So a bog standard early 2011 vRS with 8,000 miles, 205/40 R17 tyres,  99 ron Momentum on the dyno was 183 BHP Max, 

 

On a real road,  good surface. Ambient temp was 16*oC.

0-50 mph 5.1 seconds

0-60 mph 6.5

0-70 mph 8.6

0 -80 mph 10.9

30-50 mph 3.0

50-70 mph 3.3 seconds

 

Same car but a REVO Stage 1 MAP. 204 bhp

0-50 mph 4.9 seconds

0-60 mph 6.1 seconds

0-70 mph 7.7 seconds

0-80 mph 9.8 seconds

30-50 mph 2.4 seconds

50-70 mph 2.6 seconds

 

Those times were done in 'D'.

TC off.

Heres a pic of mine with ITG Maxogen CAI kit and TMC tuning box. also fitted is a whiteline RARB.

Over the moon with the punch. feels very planted round corners.

5000k 55w HIDs are also an essential upgrade.

 

George, Is there more power to the traction control off? , Wibb, the car is amazing

If you spin tyres it can reduce engine power.  (read page 138 of the Owners Manual.)  

You have XDS & ESP as well as the possibility of power being reduced.

 

With the DSG,

if the throttle and brake are used at the same time, that also cuts power of the engine.

Just using energy in joules = ½mv² and converting to PS given the known time taken and weight of about 1240kg:

 

 

62mph-87mph: 5 seconds (100-140 km / h) = 125PS
62mph-93mph: 6 seconds (100-150 km / h) = 135PS
62mph-100mph: 9 seconds (100-160 km / h) = 115PS
37mph-100mph: 11 seconds (60-160 km / h) = 132PS

 

0-50 mph 5.1 s = 83 PS

0-60 mph 6.5 = 93 PS

0-70 mph 8.6 = 96 PS

0 -80 mph 10.9 = 99 PS

30-50 mph 3.0 = 90 PS

50-70 mph 3.3 = 122 PS

 

Same car but a REVO Stage 1 MAP. 204 bhp

0-50 mph 4.9 seconds =  86 PS

0-60 mph 6.1 seconds = 100 PS

0-70 mph 7.7 seconds = 107 PS

0-80 mph 9.8 seconds = 110 PS

30-50 mph 2.4 seconds = 112 PS

50-70 mph 2.6 seconds = 155 PS

 

I'm not sure what that shows...

Edited 8 February, 201412 yr by pearce_jj

?? THe Quote Box above is not what i posted in post #13.  or the OP posted in post #9.!!

You have now got loads of 'PS' showing in the quote  from someplace.!!

 

 

It shows nothing scientific,

 just what the difference was from standard to Stage 1 on that day.

Sort of real world performance on the day.

Best times, not the various that happens when doing runs.

 

The car on that times had a gross weight with driver of 1,420 kg.

 

1,243 would be a Unladen Weight given by the likes of VAG, but cars seldom get used at Unladen Weights.

The point was the PS numbers that I added...

Sorry you have lost me,

you do not know what gears were being used, or RPM,  and none of that equates to BHP/PS/kW or the likes.

& you had the weight wrong.

 

Interesting if the 0-50  or 0-60 is being done with less then half of the available 180 ps +

The PS values are obviously incorrect since my calculation is just the amount of energy applied to achieve the change in velocity in a vacuum; what I was trying to draw out was that the OP's car seems to be producing good power - slightly more than the revo stage-1 map.

Edited 8 February, 201412 yr by pearce_jj

Ahh. 

We are waiting to see what a CTHE engine as standard puts out on a Dyno.

 

I suspect the EduVRS had a car pretty much a similar weight as the one with the REVO map.

it had the 25 kg weights removed, but 2 spare wheels in, (so that is the same almost)

the difference could be the Bloater of a driver that might be twice as heavy as him..

 My motor is CAVE !!   07/2012

Are you considering having it remapped then?
