1.4 tsi Rising Blue Just Starting To Mod - updates to come.
Hi Guys just Thought id share this with you , loads more coming over the next week or so
Standard with my dads Vxr
about 1 week into ownership
Interior Trim Painted Black with Pioneer HU
Debadged And Polished
Before and After The Stage 1 Revo - Look at That Power Delivery Across The Range!! Very impressed. Did 2 0-60 test runs today and got 5.9 seconds both times, so plus speedo Error looking at around 6.1-6.2 seconds to 60 Not bad for a 1.4!
Carbon Wrapped The Front Grill Using 3M Di-noc - very good stuff, impressed by the results but managed to get another centre grill off ebay for £17 so going to take that to a body shop and get it properly carbon fibre wrapped
AAAAnd Fitted Adds a real good look i think
Will be more updates this week as i fit my Rims, Can also Post pictures of the lights as i changed all of those to LED as well as side and number plate, Springs next week, Hopefully forge blow off valve and rear 20mm spacers the following week, and other stuff in the pipeline:
Quad Tailpipe Exhaust System
TTRS Big Brake Upgrade
Either S3 Intercooler or Forge Twintercooler
Will Post How To's on all as well
Thanks for your time guys, Comments appreciated

Looking very good!
What wheels have you gone for?
If you change your mind on the quad exhaust I have a custom 1.4 exhaust for sale.

BBs CR-5 18" didnt want to go any bigger on the wheels as it costs more in rubber, and i think 18 is enough

6.1 ? Impossible. Stock 2.0 TSI - 6,6
Now I've got 2.0 TSI+ 270/411 - 5,9 on RaceLogic.

Christ you don't hang about Timmsy, what bulbs did you go for and can you recommend them?
Re: 1.4 tsi Rising Blue Just Starting To Mod - updates to co
My tuned 1.4 ran 5.67 to 60 at gti international a couple of years back so it is possible. The progressive way the 1.4 puts its power down makes it particularly good for 0-60 times (gets obliterated then by more powerful 2.0) - the 2.0 struggles to get it's power down as cleanly so suffers 0-60.Geno wrote:6.1 ?

I've raced many times with tuned 1.4 TSI 230BHP and it wasn't as quick as my stock 2.0.
Re: 1.4 tsi Rising Blue Just Starting To Mod - updates to co
It was whatever timing equipment the drag strip used. Also mine was a 0-60 rather than 0-62 that the 0-100 kmh would equate to.Geno wrote:On RL ?

Re: 1.4 tsi Rising Blue Just Starting To Mod - updates to co
Well just to settle the argument, at revo, the engineer placed my map over a stock 2.0 tsi, and i had the same BHP and More torque, (think it was about 10-15 more lb ft)
So, its lighter, more torque, and the delivery is impeccable. anything over 70 the 2.0 would obviously beat me, but meh! lol i get better MPG anyway! i reckon theyd be neck and neck through to 70-80 then the 2.0 would pull away, although saying that a type r couldn't get away from me through to 100!
ALSO the Toyo T1 Sport tyres... Wow.
anyway- next update:
25mm Eibach lowering Spring
Think it looks so sweet!
