Ok so my one friend jus put a **** ton of work, money and parts into his car and we both agree we have to race once he gets it back. Well that time has come he should have it done by today or tomorrow and were gonna begoing to the track to race.

Last time we raced all I had was a header exhaust and intake. He had a few bolt ons and a 50 trim. I had him by like 2-3 cars.

So my question is how would I fair against him now
My mods: ZZP Longtube header and 3" catback
2.9" pulley
ZZP stage 3 H/E
Aem cai w/k&n filter
Ingalls TD
60#s
BYT Tuned

His mods Mk4 jetta 1.8t:
Rebuilt port and polished head w/exhaust valves
Honed block
Integrated drop rods
New piston rings
Eurojet catback
Gt 3071r.63ar
Downpipe(??? Brand)

Once we race I will get it on video and upload it

 

I gotta buddy that's big into 1.8t's.. From my understanding, a GT30 on one of them will put them a little over 300whp I BELIEVE. Not 100% sure on that.. but I think he'll prolly take you.. but there's always a TVS for ya

 

think you'll still take him

 

You have no lag..that shoud help

 

Yea he says with everything in his car hell push 400whp but even if that's true I don't think hell have traction long enough to catch me

 

I was pretty much same mods, and only put like 2-3 cars on my buddy, and he was fully bolted and tuned 1.8.. stock turbo

 

I doubt hes 400 whp.

 

Its a GT3076R.....those things have basically lag lol

 

he's gonna be dynoing it once he gets it back so ill find out for sure

 

They're also heavy as fuhhhh... vids please

 

My bolt on 2.2 pulled one from a dig and my buddies 3.1" redline demolished it. But that was stock

 

There will be don't worry ill post them when it happens

 

Any idea what tune and injectors he'll be running?

Assuming he's got 630cc and the right tune, he'll be at about 375-400whp, and it'll be rather ugly for ya.. /:

 

Not 100% sure on the injectors and tune but I can find out.

But I kinda thought id lose but wasn't sure about it

 

I'm not that knowledgeable on VW's, but everyone of them I've raced so far lost. I'm sure they can be made quick just like any other car on the road.

I had a friend back in college with a 1.8t GTI, and she had a lot of money in it. Funny thing is, it didn't run half of the time. I couldn't tell you how many times she had me help her get it running.

I think it put down 317whp when it was actually up and running.

It had a full exhaust, intake, tune, and I believe a slightly larger turbo. They come stock with the K03 I believe, maybe she installed a K04.... I can't remember it has been over 5 years now.

 

I know they can be just from what I've seen with his is that his tune before he would only be at full boost for like 1000 rpms an that's it but during time it pulled like a mother though. When we raced I put 2 cars on him instantly but towards the end he was gaining ground like there was no tomorrow. But that was his old turbo and tune and practically old car with all the **** he's put in it so far. I think from like a 60 roll he'd have me definately but doing a dead stop race or maybe even a 40 roll I think id have him because I think hell spin the whole time

 

Don't do a 60.. you'll regret it even more. 40 if anything.. dig depending on driver mod for each of ya

 

20 roll *** it, he will have no traction till 3rd gear or so..

 

I raced my other buddy yesterday and he has a mk5 farenheit jetta with a downpipe and chipped and I pulled like 3-4 cars from a 20 roll

 

sooooo................

 

Update?

 

I drive a tuned and bolted 1.8t. I have 225hp on the stock turbo with the few mods I have. With that turbo, it should be close. If he has some wide meats and can get traction I think he will take you. Otherwise, I think you got him.

 

He just broke the motor in and turned the boost up it pulls but he doesn't have traction through second and early third so I think I can get far enough ahead that I'll win but I'm getting the race set up now. Its hard when I work first shift and he works second without a specific leave time. Bids will be up soon sorry for the wait

 

Stay up for a night? kidding..
just make sure to get a video!

 

I will dont worry I'm excited for it I'll prob lose but it'll be fun
