Yeah, I always do dyno runs for comparison with my mods. Should be interesting as it will be on the dyno some time tomorrow.drennan wrote:U shud run a dyno before and after to see the gainsid be intrested in doing this to my 9n3 gti

Is the battery only in the wheel well on a GTI?Hurdy wrote:Here is a quick photo of the rear install for the Polo GTI. The pump is gravity fed from the bottle and so has to have it's intake point below the bottle bottom. Luckily on the Polo the boot section is very deep and allows for this. Full credit to Statllers as they made a really neat job of the install and pipework.
Still not fully installed yet as I'm having a custom pipe fitted to house the injector and it has to be fabricated first.
Did you say you had urated rear brakes aswell?Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
Yes, Only the GTI has the battery relocated to the rear as standard.
I have MK1 Leon Cupra rears ready to go on, but not fitted yet as I'm still undecided as to whether they are really needed.

Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
Any updates regarding the water/meth kit ?
Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
OMFG!!!! 
The new controller arrived this afternoon and so Steve fitted it and put some distilled water in to test it. Worked perfectly and even giving it the beans for quite a while the oil temps stayed under 100oC, which is much better than the 110oC+ I was seeing on spirited runs. The car ran much smoother and felt better at the middle/top of the rev range. Then came the water/meth mix!.....
Holy sh*t!!! it was like sticking another small engine to help mine under the bonnet.With the roads dry in parts today, I was able to give it the full throttle and even at 70mph+ was still getting wheel spin. The middle and top end of the rev range is MUCH stronger than before and Steve says that after a few days it will feel even better.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement, even though we'd been out in the car for a 15 min blast, when I topped up the bottle it had only used 120ml of mixture, so I know the bottle will last a fair while as it is about 3 litres to the brim.
Logs should get done tomorrow and then the dyno may have to wait as Statllers have had a refurb abd the electrics aren't plumbed back into the dyno yet
Steve's promised it will be plumbed back in before the end of the week.
Bum dyno says muchos extra bhp and torque. Should hopefully see around 15-17whp and 25-28lbft increase.
Steve calls it a "Black Ops" install as under the bonnet and in the boot you literally wouldn't spot the difference. In the cabin you definitely see the controller though When that light comes on green it's like KITT in Pursuit Mode.
The car is still on setting B on the REVO, so I haven't even thought about trying it on the aggressive race setting C, which it is designed for.
The really good sign is that there isn't even a sniff of clutch slip either.
Almost forgot to mention that the controller allows you to set the minimum boost level where the water/meth comes in and another to set where the water/meth is fully on. My car has only had a proprietary setting and i'm sure some fine tuning on the dyno will optimise the benefits. The nozzle on mine is good for up to a 450bhp car, so should never really be at full capacity for my baby motor.
Still cannot believe the improvement it has made to how the car runs.....it's just .....better, smoother, more eager to rev. Like a well set-up ED30 on a crisp cool morning, but all the time!

6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
Wheels spinning at 70mph, sounds scary!
Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
LOL, Not so much. I could spin the wheels at over 80mph in the ED30 on nitrous, in the dry, on sticky rubber!!stuart.cameron wrote:Wheels spinning at 70mph, sounds scary!
You want to try "off-roading at the Nurburgring" at 110mph like I have - now that's scary!!
I do need some sticky rubber now for sure!

Due to land at Chez Hurdy tomorrow....
New style Carbon Fibre paddle shifters.
Shouldn't lose those pesky small paddle shifters when turning the wheel anymore with the size of these beauties.

Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
Just fitted them, they look different to what I took a pic of. Actually look much better as they don't have the silly hole and suit the shape of the wheel.stuart.cameron wrote:They look nice, are they a custom build?Hurdy wrote:Due to land at Chez Hurdy tomorrow....

Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
Here are the pics of the paddle shifters fitted to my car. Slightly different design to what I thought, but these actually look better and suit the shape of the wheel.
Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
How come you have buttons on both sides of the steering wheel ?not the levers behind I thought they came with buttons on the left.
Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
As far as I knew the MFSW has controls on both left and right.SAMBA VAN MAN wrote:How come you have buttons on both sides of the steering wheel ?not the levers behind I thought they came with buttons on the left.
Left side is for the phone, voice control, sound level and track control
Right side is for the MFD (Multi-function Display) menu controls.
Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project
No, they aren't custom build they are made by TIDStyling.stuart.cameron wrote: They look nice, are they a custom build?
I quite fancy this steering wheel of theirs.
