Stage 2+ S3

[Jussa]

My mates S2+ S3 made 158mph at this years 30-130mph.. This was the same result for 2 S2+ S3's the year before..

Did he say he could have got more?

Was it DSG?

158 still requires Y rating then 

[Poverty]

Doesnt matter unless your gonna do 150MPH+  

I am planning to  

In that case youve answered your own question.

Z   150
W   168
Y   186

If its stage 2+ and your planning on maxing it on a german autobahn then you will likely need the Y rated tyres 

w's will do. S3 stage 2 plus will max out at about 160mph gps verified. Will read about 175mph on the speedo

Really My iddy piddy K03s Octavia maxed out at 168mph gps verified on the autobahn at Stage 2+. Unless the Octy drag coefficient is good for 8mph then I would expect the S3 to go quicker.

[Poverty]

that is good, ive found the k04's to generally run out of steam at around 165mph indicated, get over 170mph indicated but that requires keeping your foot on the loud peddle for longer than I would want to.

K03 at 168mph

As i see you disbelieve

Here is a clip of it doing 162mph which iirc was at Stage 1. Watch from 2:10

Firstly I can't open that YouTube clip??? Maybe it's my IPad??

I'm not disputing the speed, what I am surprised by is poverty telling me I will only get 165mph and u got 168mph out of a K03, does that make sense??   

 

[vRS Carl]

Ahh yes it won't play on mobile devices due to copyright because it has a daft punk song on it.

That was my point too. I was surprised at him saying a Stg2+ S3 would max out at 160mph.

If that is the case then i can only guess that the Octy drag coefficient is better. But i wouldn't have thought it equated to 8mph.

[Jussa]

Yes, but was the Octy K04???

If not, how does a K03 have more puff???

 

[vRS Carl]

No the Octy was K03.

I think Poverty must have got his figures wrong somehow.

[Jussa]

Mmmmm, so what do u reckon I'd get flat out???   

[vRS Carl]

I don't know for sure. I would say, given enough road, 170mph. I got to 162 fairly quickly (in the space of about 2.5 miles) but to eek out the further 6mph took around another 4-5 miles to achieve. But that was absolute max I would ever get without going to a bigger turbo. Or down a fcuk off steep hill 

Iirc Hurdy had more than 160mph in his Golf ED30 at stage 2+

The factor that you would have to contend with is the drag. Although you would get to the top speed far quicker than the Octy I don't think you would get much more out of it unless you started putting a hoooge turbo on it.

It might be because your runways longer. Generally Ive found once I get the k04's to around 170mph indicated the car doesnt really speed up that much anymore and I leave it at that! Could be the skoda is more aerodynamic than the s3/cupra/golfR and perhaps wind was against me on my days.

Maybe the k04 suffers from worse EGT's and alot of effort it used into controlling the EGTs at continued WOT runs. Who knows, lets see what other k04 people have managed!

[vRS Carl]

A quick search on ooootoob found this Revo Stg 2+ S3 doing an indicated 285kmh (178mph)

The speedo generally won't be that far out. My Octy at an indicated 160mph was registering 154mph on GPS so i would imagine that S3 is registering around the 170mph mark on GPS. The thing to note here though is how quick it gets there it's less than 90 secs.

[Jussa]

Very interesting, I just assumed that the K04 would have a higher top end than a K03, not just get there quicker
