cruizin01 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 For the past 3 years the car had a poor performing VF engineering RSS GT2871 kit paired with GIAC software. It was never what I wanted. Never made the power it was supposed to. (~320whp) Never drove the way it was supposed to. This year I decided to try another round of upgrades. I got in contact with Arnold @ pag parts out of new york. He put together custom kit for me. I had alot of parts already on the car so swapping to newer/bigger parts was a pretty easy upgrade. powertrain mods -stock FSI block w/ balance shafts intact -stock pistons -stock intake manifold -brute connecting rods -9.5:1 c/r head gasket -vband stainless exh manifold -vband turbosmart comp-40 wastegate -GT3071 with billet wheel upgrade and TIAL vband exh housing -3.5" mafless intake -3" catless exh with APR/Corsa CB -RS4 injectors -APR upgrade HPFP -RS4 upgrade fuel pressure relief valve -custom intank walbro 400 -Labonte stage 3 w/m with dual nozzles -VFE twin intercooler -Turbosmart E-boost 2 EBC -Eurodyne Maestro Tuning Suite Ive got plenty of other suspension/brake and drivetrain mods but I think thats all the important stuff. Just got the car back up and running a week or so ago on the new software. Havent had to make any adjustments so far except for the warm up enrichment and the cold part throttle is a bit jerky. Big thumbs up to Brian Turner at DynoTune Motorsports for getting me on the rollers in 2 days notice. Dyno chart is on 26 psi where I decided to stop. 93 octane plus w/m. I dont have easily switchable timing maps so I decided to keep the race map on the car. I think it would have made high 300's on strictly pump gas. Overall Im real happy with the numbers. Its more than I expected for the most part. I know its capable of more. >500hp but with stock pistons I dont want to chance a broken ring land with more timing/cylinder pressure. Ill possibly upgrade those at some point If I want more. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i15/cruizin01/dyno.jpg Engine bay isn't very pretty but its not a show car.
