Hi, How much power will the golf mk4 1.8T take b4 you start having probs??? Thinking of selling my M3 and getting one but need it to be quite fast once moving?!?!? Nick b
Just a bit of copy and paste from uk-mkivs from when Bill had it... "hybrid IHI roller bearing turbo with Jabbasports exhaust manifold, downpipe, cat etc. 2.75" Jetex single box exhaust system, Steel rods, ARP fasteners, S3 pistons, charge cooler, uprated SMIC, boost controller. Engine runs to over 8000rpm with power between 380-410bhp depending on boost levels run." "Gearbox currently is quaife 6spd, with Quaife ATB diff." Now sports a mahoosive FMIC instead of the uprated SMIC and probably one or two other changes? (engine/gearbox related)
Ya Matt's Mk4 is over 400bhp now and goes like f*ck, Buy the new golf mag as there are 3/4 pages on tuning to 1.8t engine
What golf mag is that??? as there are 3 arn't there?? So how will a 220 bhp golf do once moving against a standard M3??? Nick b
mk1campaign, I'm confussed!!! do you mean the golf will stand no chance??? If thats what you ment surely power to weight comes into it? As my bro's old RS turbo 230 bhp would urine all over my M3 once moving My M3 feels av. but nothing like my old cossie Nick b
Id say the Golf would have no chance but you havent said what type of M3 you drive. You could have anything between 200 bhp and 340 ish bhp.
My M3 has been r/roaded at 293 bhp But still does not feel that fast, its hard as my bro and mate both drive 380+ cossies. I would have thought a 220/240 bhp golf would be quick Now you have got me re-thinking Nick b
Is badgers ibiza 4wd or fwd??? As that at castle coombe the other day even made the bhp cossies look slow [:^(] Fecking quick car!!! Nick b
There aren't any 4wd Ibizas to my knowledge but I'm sure some continental dude will cook one up soon.
Now a bit de-flatted as i thought a golf turbo chipped, exhaust e.t.c would be a quick car [:^(] But obv the empthasise is not!!!! So at what bhp would it be quick?? and what do you need to get to that??? Sorry for so many qu. Nick b
