How much faster can a £500 Tune make a VW GOLF R: Stock vs Tuned

Рет қаралды 218,320

Күн бұрын

So we have the infamous Golf R, one of the most popular hot hatches and really an Awesome Car. Not that it doesn't already pack a punch but you guys know we don't like to keep anything stock. So we did some testing 0-60 1/4 and 100-200 with stock software and then flashed it right on the side of the airstrip with stage 1 OEM+ and see how turned out. Stage 1 is easily the best bang for your buck modification but we wanted to see really how much difference it could make.

Ecu/dsg tune for the R/GTI make it feels like a whole different car. Car is smoother during cruise and traffic, and it pulls hard af when you get on it. There are many tune companies out there. I have integrated engineering ecu/dsg on my gti and it was the best 1k I have spent on a car.

So this is actually a tuned VS tuned video. It would be good to see a stock vs tuned vs tuned version so potential customers could see any benefit of adding just a remap, and then perhaps advancing to a remap with added breathing. A screen listing the mods and times/speeds would be useful too for those of us with short attention spans. And rather than a 100-200kmh measure, how about 30-70mph in third which will be more representative of UK use and highlight any torque benefits. Cheers

100% agree, the stage 1 file is benefiting from the hardware, so its not an accurate stock vs tuned comparison, but the gains are impressive none the less

@vroomgc 2 жыл бұрын

@@TrenC21 Almost everyone that goes stage 1 does an intake change of some sort. So your statement is not real world. And the actual stock intake is considered quite good so the change they made is of minor help. The turbo elbow may be the only piece that I would say could make a slight effect benefiting the tune. Either way there is a huge gap just going stage 1.

@TrenC21 2 жыл бұрын

maybe where you live. but not everyone has the 300-400USD to spend on top of the cost of the tune , so actually a lot of ppl just do the tune first as most companies do OTS maps, they can add the intake and elbow at a later stage and still gain from the original file loaded. Yes the OEM intake is good, but its closed, and doesnt have colder air coming into to, so it does make a difference especially to maf readings, so i think my original statement was pretty real world

@vroomgc 2 жыл бұрын

@@TrenC21 Omg so your statement is totally wrong. The stock box is the choice for pure cold air if you change the filter out and dremel a hole into the front part of the intake, which is a common change for ppl. Cost is maybe $50 for the filter. That change gets you pretty much the same results to anything else you can buy. I've done all these changes over time and like I said its common for ppl with Stage 1 to do the intake change even if its the cheaper one I just mentioned. But yes not the turbo elbow.

we've done plenty of stage 2 cars without any issues, but that's not to say a turbo can't let go even at stage 1 - whenever tuning is concerned sometimes you can get hit with bad luck and the turbo may just not be as strong. In most cases we have customers that have done thousands of miles on stage 2 and stage 3 cars and have had no issues yet.

It’s absolutely insane what a stage 1 tune with the TCU tune will make that car do. If you’ve got a Golf R that’s DSG, the stage 1 tune and TCU tune is the absolute best modification you can do for the money you spend and as long as you use a reputable tune, you likely won’t have any issues with the reliability of the car as long as you take care of it and maintain it.

@samuelkearney880 2 жыл бұрын

@Bevan Ward good stuff. They are very quick cars for what the power that they have. They put it down very well and make excellent torque early in the rev range. I would get the haldex controller for one to if I was ever going for one to try and get the drive bias to the rear. Every time you see them on carwow trying to drift them and all they do is push the nose. A haldex controller would help that out a fair bit.

Tuning without dyno?

@awesomecars1 2 жыл бұрын

The car has already been on the dyno, and the file tested in R&D we've had the car for almost 2 years so we know the tune works. We just wanted to show the before and after.

I would have expected a higher terminal velocity for the 1/4 mile though.

The stock mk8 golf r, with nothing else added has a 12.4 qtr and 4.1 0-60 on carwow. So basically its like a mk7 golf with a stage .5 :)

Anything on a MK8 Golf R yet?

No tunes available, just a racechip with promising results:)

@@awesomecars1 I did notice the Racechip GTS Black, but as the stock cars seem to be running around the 340bhp from factory. I was wondering if the 53bhp gain is on the factory stated 316bhp or on the dyno'd numbers?

@@Davew335r we've just recently done one on the mk8 R - 374.14HP with 359.94lbft - but that didn't run a stock of 340hp some cars can vary but some days on the dyno can be different due to multiple factors. But 375HP is still a pretty big improvement and you can definitely feel it on the car.

Yeah good car but soooooo many on the road. Had one for a couple of days along with an RS3 but decided on an M2C. BM is not as stable but waaaaaay more fun, looks better and far less common!!!

Expected better 100-200 tbh. I have a stage 1 2016 Leon Cupra that did a dragy verified 9.2 on my one and only go. Same engine/turbo. Guess because the Golf is heavier and my car did make very good numbers.

The only issue here is, by tuning the car, you are voiding your warranty. Fine on an older car that's out of manufacturers warranty, but would you want to risk it on a new car? The gains are small anyway.

@awesomecars1 2 жыл бұрын

Small gains? A stock car compared to a stage 1 tuned car of the exact same spec is night and day. Many people can attest that driving them feels like it's a completely new car. Also tuning is a choice :) everyone can do what they like

@thegerman7133 2 жыл бұрын

Sorrry guys, you cant compare the figures as "stock" and "tuned" cause the car was not stock before. There were mods which only would be recognised with a tune. What you did afterwards.

@awesomecars1 2 жыл бұрын

As you said only recognised after a tune, so before the car was still pretty much running stock power :)
