'93 fastback v. '02 vw 1.8t

[240Degrees]

I'm gonna race an '02 vw 1.8t in february in the 1/8th. He has intake and blow off valve. All I have engine-wise is intake, so im pretty much stock. I have Tein HAs for all that matters. How hard should i set my dampers? Who do you think will win?

[Lepchitz1]

My friend has an Integra LS with an itake that beat a jetta turbo. The jetta was stock though. I beat the LS by around a car length and I only have an intake so it will be close.

[Former_240_s14]

I am sorry, but the jetta I think should beat you. the cars run mid to low 15's stock, and then with the imporvements he should be low 15s. You shouldn't get more than low 16s. If I were you, this is the question I would be asking myself....... "got boost??" lol.

[Dano]

hahaha, yeah that question probly explains how it will play out. sad but true...but mayb he'll screw up and u'll beat him...be positive!

i agree, you'll lose.... i ran vs a stock audi 1.8t once which is similar to the jetta engine wise i guess., if i remember right it was AWD as well which makes this an irelevant post. but ...( i was stock as well at the time) off the line we were close.. but at like 3rd gear he was about 1/2 to 3/4 a car ahead of me... by then it was over...

goodluck though...

[nametakennow]

Yeah, you're screwed unless he blows a shift or something... maybe he'll have some weird problem...

[Repo Man]

What kind of driver is he? Is he good? Are you? If he's good, I wouldn't put any money on the race...

[240Degrees]

it's FWD, not AWD. I know he has traction problems, he told me himself. Also he has no LSD. The fact he does 15s and I do 16s is somewhat helpful, and I have no doubt he will beat me in the quarter, but I'm talking about the 1/8th. I really think it's gonna be a driver's race.... unless he gets that boost controller by then

[SilviaLuvr]

yeah man the keyword in this race is TURBO!

[UncleBen]

be sure and let us know what happens. i would like to know how this turns out

[red240ne]

be sure and lose for us. i would kill him with my auto s14!

Don't get too greedy Ben.

[UncleBen]

Don't get any sexier Ben. I'm already gettin horny.

whaaaaaat?!?!?!? U SICK CANUCKY BASTERD!!!!!

[red240ne]

whaaaaaat?!?!?!? UR MOM CAN CHOKE ON MY LITTLE ****!!

Now, now Ben. I was just having a little fun. You didn't have to bring my Mother into this argument.

Audis and Golfs are slight different, I hurt a Golf (stock) from about 60-120, and hung with another had had BOV and intake (although the guy was HUGE), he eventually began pulling on me.

1.8t Jettas are slugs though...

[240Degrees]

it's a golf. that's the 2 door hatchback one, right? I looked around for specs and i remember it had something like 180hp and 160lbs/trque. I remember the curb weight being osmething like 2800lbs or so. Maybe I should get that asp pulley before then?

[red240ne]

The 2002 Golf wasn't available with the 1.8T. It only came in the 1.9 diesel and the 2.0 NA.

1.9 diesel?? haha, I didn't know they made diesels that small. Those Cummins Diesels are like 8.2.

Mercedes has a European-market econobox that is equipped with an 800cc diesel.

damn.... what are the spec's on that?? do you know?

The Cummins diesels go in large trucks, not compact cars. The VW TDI in a Golf can be modded to make large amounts of power, especially torque. I have a friend with an '01 Golf TDI that will hand you your arse unless you're turbo'd or have an n/a buildup well beyond the I/H/E. The downside to that is that he has a fair amount of cash tied up in it. He still gets 40-50mpg if he's not on the throttle however. Crazy basturd.

[240Degrees]

well anyways, im still gonna race his ***. I'll tell you guys how it goes. thanks.

[Former_240_s14]

hey, it still will be fun man, MO is that you cant compare forced induction to a na motor, its just not fair to the na. If you had a turbo on your motor and ran the same boost it did, you would smash the thing. keep ya head up buddy

[specialkonrd]

my buddy has a passat tdi that can give me a run for my moneyrunning 20 or 25lbs boost, ecu was chipped, and german 550cc (i think) injectors
