🔧 BUILD Mook's 2016 E85, Hybrid Turbo, Golf R

[Mook]

could they not just say the tires suck in all aspects?

I knew they were trash. Guess I'll add tires to my spring to do list.

Get the Michelin PS 4S

Get the Michelin PS 4S

Thats the plan. I loved the SS on the Evo.

11.9 you say. I'll take it!

No timeslip. Doesn't count. lmao




Bookmark this site. It has some nice calculators. As does the app.

The app costs money. Boners.

Oh. Pretty sure it was free when I downloaded it years ago. lol Use the one 1Quick has then. haha

Time for some Pilot 4S tires and a winter set.

I like my PSS tires, I'm sure I'll like the P4S when I need that eventual replacement too.

TRC app says 3032ft. Pratt, do math and tell me that I actually went 11.5

Also, explain to me the math that you used in the previous post.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I used to know the formulas. Now I just use the apps and forums to do the math. haha


Click the link, go towards the bottom and it asks for the DA, ET and MPH.

I'm not extensively modified but its the only turbo option I see.

11.92

Just use that one so when you make future comparisons it is consistent. That way when you change tunes or add mods you can get it converted to sea level and see how it changed performance.


It is nice to see you getting interested in beating on the car and doing some racing. Maybe by spring, we will get you excited to hit a road course with it too.

 

[Mook]

Its weird that out of all the cars I've owned, THIS is the one that gets me back into racing.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I can see why. It is a get in it, do nothing to it, and enjoy it type car. No headaches and fun to drive.

Better tires will help at the drag strip and road course.

Do they run those things on E85 easily?

 

[Mook]

They arent exactly e85 friendly. I believe there are flex kits out via one of the tuners but you'll need a new HPFP annnnd not sure sure what else.

Ive talked to my tuner about it and he said they dont offer anything b/c the car really cant support it.

I think it varies from tuner to tuner.

Ideally the MK7 R's can't support E85 as the fueling is limited in that vehicle. When we tried it here multiple times the vehicle ran out of fueling and would sputter.
So I would advise against putting E85 in the vehicle. If anything run about 2 gallons or more of 100+ octane and that will for certain make a difference.

Some guys claim adding 2 gallons of corn helps but I dunno about that.

VW went to dual injection on 2.5 RS3 engines , it sucks that 2.0 are direct injection only

In other news, the STOCK turbo record for that car is now 10.1@136, I think. Insane.

can you post the rest of the mod list?

trans/drivetrain parts hold up to that?

 

[95SC]

Yes i have seen that , its pretty fast

 

[95SC]

From what I was reading car had pretty big weight reduction

Last I saw, it was intercooler, intake, downpipe and custom tune. Im guessing some weight reduction as well, gotta be.

fuck me

what do they weigh stock, like yours?

 

[Mook]

Google says 3,593 lbs, curb.

 

[95SC]

My friends RS3 was 3835lb with 260lb driver last week at the track

Higher pressure fuel pumps usually are the issue on E85. I know on my BMW guys can get away with an e50 mix. Which is still much better than 93.

If anything, see if you can find some 100 octane anywhere and try throwing some of that in. I guess ask your tuner if that would benifit the engine with the tune. Or if they have an option for a tune with a race gas mixture.

That is pretty insane. Weight reduction would be cool to see. Gutted interior or just things you can do without. That kind of stuff.
