Had the Octavia vRS remapped

Your looking at wheelspin in 1-2 and third sometimes in the dry,

That's pretty bad for 240bhp tbh, unless the tyres are rubbish. :(

Id get an LSD next, the Quaiffes seem to be very nice for traction.

It's the tyres as much as anything, their some random crap the dealer put on the car, branded but not picked especially for the car. In a few weeks their going and so will the 205/50 being replaced with the wider 225/45. There are a couple of tyres that get great review from the Pirelli Rosso and the Eagle F1's. I think the Pirellis might pip it as there used as standard of a fair few Porshes, Ferraris and a couple other supercars :p

Be careful as I'm pretty sure (but could be wrong) that there are approximately 5000000 different types of P-Zero's and only the uber uber ones are used on the Ferrari's etc not the regular Rosso's.

Check it, as I could be wrong, but be aware before you buy.

No, they all do - the 1.8 20vT engine can be found in anything from a Seat Ibiza to an Audi S3.

No, they don't. They are all the same "lump" yes, but there are different internals in the 225ps engine.
 
Different turbos on different engines - 150bhp are usually K03, 180 are K03s and 225 are K04.

Randell - great results from that remap. Seriously makes me wonder if I should go the same route (also have a 180bhp 1.8T).

Out of interest, what have all those mods done to your insurance premium?
 
Nice work mate.

I have a revo remapped Ibiza cupra myself plus a few extra goodies.

I would strongly suggest you start saving for a FMIC. even with your current tune its pretty much essential because in 4th, 5th and 6th gear the inlet temps under load will easily see into the 80's and the ECU will just cut power.

Get a FMIC and you wont have that problem :cool:
 
Q: What is the difference between the 180hp and 225hp engines?
A: From the article linked below:

"The higher-output 165-kW (225-hp) engine uses a high compression ratio (8.9:1) for a turbocharged unit. The 1.8-L engine was extensively modified to attain the higher output reliably. The pistons, connecting rods, and big-end bearings were uprated to accommodate the higher combustion pressures. The double-mass flywheel and clutch were modified to match the greater performance. The intake manifold, turbocharger, and exhaust manifold are new.

A Type K04 turbocharger forces air into the combustion chamber via two charge-air intercoolers. Compared to the less powerful 132-kW unit, a modified airflow path, together with a larger air cleaner, ensures that the air reaching the engine has a temperature only about 30¡C higher than ambient. This 80% charge-air intercooler efficiency keeps the engine supplied with an optimum flow of oxygen-rich air. Maximum boost pressure at the intake manifold can reach 200 kPa (29 lb/in2).

I don't know if this is relevant, I only scanned the thread briefly but I thought it was interesting so dropped it in anyway :)
 
They are not all the same engine apart from different turbo's

The internals are different also in some

The 225 Leon cupra R engine is known to have weaker conrods than the 210bhp Leon Cupra R engine.
 
Thats a nice remap man, I am tempted but some guys I know tell me about problems after getting their cars upgraded and what not and after trying a 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, well its frightning to have so much power! Its also fun though lol
