just been an had a rolling road session

[aarontrophy]

hi all just been down to redline tuning in basildon and had my T put on the rolling road i have got milltek, sports cat and a ITG induction kit it produced 184.3hp

 

[Sam_K]

Get a re-map and you will be laughing 8)

 

[aarontrophy]

want to get it chipped and re map (trophy) (tup)

 

[Sam_K]

Where abouts are you going to get that done?

 

[stormduck]

how much they charging for that fella? People alright there? Sounds like a good powered 182 there.

 

[aarontrophy]

i aint really to sure where i am going to get the chip and re map done yet the blokes at redline tuning say 450 for a piggy back ecu and remap and chip custom but i dunno maybe my mechanic can advise me bit more going see him tomorrow there really freindly at redline would recommend it was 60 pound

Theres no real need to go for a piggy back setup tbh.

The standard ecu can be reprogrammed. RS tuning in leeds have a great reputation. Fastchip's RStuner is a great alternative too (got one myself - great value too) Loads other out there too

 

[aarontrophy]

i wasnt to interested when he was saying about that way i would go stand alone

Thats a great power result.

No need for standalone engine management unless you are going for ITB's etc. Just a custom remap will do. Stop calling it a chip though :wink:

had mine rolling roaded a few months ago, it produced 188.1bhp, thats with K&N Gen 2 and Milltek exhaust, inc decat!

In a non chavvy way, what sort of 0-60 times can you expect now?

I'm just about to start a 205 gti6 conversion and might be tempted to change my plans if modding the trophy becomes a faster option.

Thanks

i have a 205 gti and i wanna do that conversion

A Trophy doesn't stand a chance against a 205 GTI6 conversion. The 205 weighs less than a bag of sugar...

Its probably very similar sort of straigfht-line pace, but the 205 would probably be slightly quicker round track, maybe not though as the Trophy is newer and has a better set-up. It has less weight but also less power and torque than the Trophy. Trophy would be maybe a tad under 6.5 0-60 after a couple of simple mods.

But surely not just speed comes into this? In terms of being a car to live with there is no contest between the 2.

A well modded 205 will trounce a CT around the track I know as they regulary beat mine by 4 secs at harewood hillclimb but a standard gti6 conversion wouldnt be too far off a CT.

Agreed - weight is the big factor - easy to get under 800 kg, even in prod class and they do not have any emission controls - hence happliy gurgle away on Webers. I recently got near to one in the DC5, but needed super sticky tyres.
