autobahn Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Don't some of these places do a 'try before you buy' remap?Seen it advertised for serial port remaps on TDI's before.I'm very doubtful about getting 20bhp extra tbh. Never seen that kind of gain from a N/A car with a remap.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers:" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" /> good idea - my mate had 4 hours on his S3 - i think that was through Revo.........

tdwindustries Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Got to say you are all too sceptical. its well known the mini engines can get 20-25 bhp just through a remap, as can VTEC honda engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Would be intresting how well the rolling road was set up before the test was done.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Doesn't really matter.As long as the RR is consistent, it shouldn't be a problem. If the rolling road says a Lupo GTI puts out 400bhp before the chip, the only thing that's altered is the chipped software is uploaded, and it then puts out 450bhp on the rolling road, that's a 12.5% increase.It doesn't matter that the actual BHP readout was way off, as long as it can reliably get the same BHP readout again and again. All you have to do then is take that 12.5% increase, find out what 12.5% on top of 125bhp is, and you can pretty reliably say your chip takes the car from 125bhp to 140.5bhp without actually having printouts of those figures off the rolling road.Despite the fact the rolling road in my imaginary case output absurd figures, that method actually gives you a more accurate performance increase figure than doing the chip and then rolling-roading the car, where you have no idea how much power the car put out originally.

Snoopy Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Incidentally, I don't want to disappoint you guys too much, but the website now says it's only a 10bhp increase style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />http://www.amdtechnik.com/products.variant.cfm?variantid=253 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMunky Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Cheeky buggers!Well, looks like that settles it, 20bhp from a chip in a Lupo ain't gonna happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 AmD's reply to meHello TylerPlease excuse the mistake on the new web site for the Lupo tuning, the power increase is @10BHP and torque with this model. VW have tuned the cars very well from the factory and to get much higher gains does require a fairly expensive engine rebuild. The rolling road work we do optimises what the factory have already done, making for smoother power delivery and driveability.We firstly run through the mechanical side of the car to ensure all is safe to run, we then carry out a full rolling road power test to check the car makes standard numbers, once all is found to be well then we modify the engine soft ware to suit and finally test again on the rolling road. We can then produce full before and after graphs of your cars outputs verifying the gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D7 YME Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ty this is what was Amd sent back to meDaniel,As with all of these late generation small normally aspirated engines, the gains we make are across the whole RPM band giving smooth linier power delivery. With the rolling road tuning work we do here it gives the car a bigger engine feel to it.We hope you will find this of help to you.RegardsAmD Sales teamwww.amdtechnik.com01869323205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
