Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..

i see your original GTI is for sale by Regal!!!

Excellent 1/4mile time tho...watching it from the grandstand was most impressive.

my car is 3 seconds slower.

I need more power!!!!

Great time Jonny! Jesus....I thought you had a fuel pump. What have you done? Intake, TBE (decat), Intercooler, Stage2+ ? That it? And obviously the weight reduction.

very nice mate, hat off

From a power point of view..

Revo Stage 2+
Custom Intake
Custom 3" exhaust
Forge Twintercooler
Autotech fuel pump

So not much really!

[WhiteGTI]

Ahh I see! So how come you ran with the normal fuel pump today then?

[SteveS]

missing one, tyres!!.....they look like they could move the earth..

Nope, I was on the Autotech fuel pump.. How come you thought I was on the OEM pump??

Update..

So, had a really good day at Santa Pod today.. Only ran the car twice but I was very pleased with the results!

60ft..  2.2670
330ft.. 5.6531
ET..  8.3467
MPH.. 91.52
ET.. 10.5924
ET.. 12.6017
MPH.. 115.85

I had another run but was down 8 hundredths..

Pretty pleased considering the car was ran on the standard K04 turbo, normal pump fuel, road legal tyres, and in road trim! So I didn't do anything for the day, so its a true road car time!

I was a little disappointed not to drop into the 12.5's but I put that down to the lower trap speeds, the ambient temp was up a fair bit over the last day I ran and also there was a huge que for the strip, so the car got heat soaked to death before both runs.. It really didn't feel as crisp as it does out on the road during a run around..

Anyways just shows what bolt on parts can do, and the weight coming out makes a huge difference too!

As far as I know that time makes this MK5 the fastest 2.0T FSI car in the UK and the fastest MK5 in the UK. Also the fastest DSG MK5 in the world.. Which is quite cool! : )

Dont think im going to run again until someone beats that time, give my car a rest I think..

In the mean time its only going to get faster! haha..

Pump fuel as in Shell V-Power and not some 110+ octane race fuel.. Sorry, just a bit confusing the way I described it..

[WhiteGTI]

Oh I'm an idiot....I kept reading that as 'fuel pump' not 'pump fuel'. I guess cos im so used to seeing fuel pump written, not pump fuel.

My eyes deceived me! Apologies!

Lol no probs mate..

All I mean was that if I run the car on drag tyres and race fuel I could think about dropping into the 11's with the K04, that would be mega, but to be honest, it seems like its cheating.. Its a road car, and not a drag car.. So I run it exactly as I drive it on the road..

Something the US guys dont do.. Think its a bit keen if you turn up and have to pump the fuel out your tank to replace with race fuel, change the map settings for the engine and swap wheels over, adjust suspension etc..

You know what I mean anyways.. 

[chungster]

what tyres were u using??  seem to get good traction off the line.

Toyo R888 235/40/18.. Same I have been running on the car though the snow / ice / rain / cold etc.. 

[SteveS]

i duno how those tyres can work in the wet let alone snow!

[chungster]

that would explain the good traction then!

brave of u to run it in all conditions.

i certainly wouldn't!!!!
