Last Friday morning myself and Nath (Greenouse) after getting my car out of the dealers on day release, took a trip down to Superchips HQ in Buckingham for a bit of a shakedown session and to check things out for a possible Rolling Road day down there later on in the year.
It was also a good oportunity to campare two ED30's (one of each gearbox flavor) with very similar mods, these being: -
SteveP (Steel Grey 5 Door - 24K Miles) -
DSG
Superchips Stage 2 Map
Non-Res Turbo Back Milltek
"Carbonio" Style CAI
ITG Panel Filter
Greenouse (DBP 3 Door - 5K Miles) -
Manual
Superchips Stage 2 Map
Non-Res Turbo Back Milltek
"Carbonio" Style CAI
K&N Panel Filter
Firstly here's a couple of vid's of the wheels in action on the rollers: -
And some pic's of the cars of the rollers: -
On one of the final runs the car was slipping on the rollers near the top of end of the 5th gear so Jamie tried to hold it down a bit
That didn't work so Nath had to act as ballast: -
The rollers where literally smoking by the end of the session
The outcome of comparing the cars back to back wasn't a surprise in that the DSG box on mine forcing the change was limiting the peak BHP over the manual on Greenouse's.
But overlaying the graph's on the plasma above the Mah Hah LPS3000 4WD Rollers they use showed the curves where very similar but with a lot more top end on the manual and a slightly better peak torque from the DSG.
They also completed some checks on the fueling and ignition timing and found everything to be running well on both cars.
So here are the graphs: -
So some very big BHP numbers seen from Greenouse's, which did surprise them but as he had previous seen 324BHP on a Dyno Dynamics rollers at Weston Motorsport we are overly surprised to see more on these roller.
Mine was a little down on the BHP over the last run I had there just before Xmas but my car hadn't been used properly for two weeks before this so I wasn't too concerned.
But like all things these are just lottery numbers and I believe I can speak for both of us when saying we are both very happy with the way our cars perform, and are looking forward to the Santa Pod shootout
They also tried out a new updated version of the revised 1st and 2nd Gear throttle response map on Greenouse's car but where not happy with the results so will be doing some more work on this before offering this on general release. This is in response to customer feedback about the current version being abit of a handful in 1st and 2nd gears. I may be going back to help with this is in near future
So a big thanks to Jamie and Dave @ Superchips for taking time to complete the power runs and to explaining all of the dyno output to us.
