Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Here's my epic failure at recreating an autocross course in Assetto Corsa.

 

4:58 is my best run IRL:

 

And then the proof of concept:

 

 

I hope someone takes this idea and runs with it lol

To those of you who remember this UP!. Well it was apparently tuned prior to putting on stickers and the wheels.

 

120 hp, 250 Nm at the wheels. That's quite something if you ask me. It's probably not long until they change out the suspension and everything else about it as well.

1 liter, 3 cylinder, petrol (no diesels available). VW says that the car produces 160 Nm from factory.

 

VW revealed the Up GTI the other day, which has 113 hp and 200 Nm on paper.

Really hope there is a tune available for the GTI that gets it to those numbers later. Really want one. 

Would be a really great daily

Doesnt seem very realistic, can you add a feature where you have to stand arond for a few hours before you get to run.

Waiting for him to email me about payment but looks like I'm gonna secure that ecu I want in the UK for about £145/$190 shipped. 

 

And the wait for shipping is only 5-7 days lol. I get stuff from the West coast sometimes that takes longer than that
