Flat spot at 5200rpm on 2.0T - Does yours do it?

[jonnyc]

yeah im aware of that, but it seems unreleated to this flat spot, and more a issue of misfires higher up the rev range.

Hmm.. Don't know, can't really comment as I have never experienced it myself mate..

Uprated lower mount is next as i was struggling to engage 2nd and sometimes 3rd which i think is down to the movement on the engine at high RPM, dont have any problems when im on the road tho which is weird. I think it was just down to nerves and trying to be to fast with changes. You have to be pretty accurate with the short shifter or it can be a pain to engage. Im more than happy with 12.7 but 12.5 would be something to work towards. My tires are due a change so some new tires, stiffer mount some adjustment on the short shifter and it should be good for high 12's all day.

Was running doen the 1/4 mile today :) Car was pulling great and didnt feel any flat spots :):) first time i have ever done a 1/4 mile so i think there is room for improvement. Best times i managed was a 12.7 & 12.8 the rest were low 13's.

Have a look here

12.7 is a fantastic time mate well done 

Post your time sheet up on this thread so you can be put up on the leaderboard:

The fasted 2.0 TFSI manual at the moment was a 3071R S3 which also got 12.7.  So to match that on a K04 is pretty good...

Cheers KRL,

Chuffed with the result, would love to see what time i could run with better tires and no passenger and excess fuel. The clutch really makes sending the power to the wheels easy.

Found a video on youtube someone has taken, my mate was having a shot with me passenger in this run against an astra vxr.

Its around 42sec mark on the video

and heres the times from that run:

Great launch there mate!

Im pretty sure fastest K04 time with an S3 is a 12.2 by Revo Romania..

You should come to Santa Pod and run a time there to see how they compare..

Its about 500miles from where i stay to the pod, will hopefully run it one day but getting there takes a while lol. My mate was driving in that video, i was passenger. I ran the 12.7 with me driving and my mate passenger with 3/4 tank of fuel. I reckon with better tyres, minimal fuel and no passengers i could shed quite a bit of time especially at santa pod as the surface there is better by miles. As i said above im going to look into upgrading the engine mounts as i reckon they are making gear changes difficult with the torque moving the engine. 12.2 is unreal, thats surely with DSG tho?

Nah thats a manual S3.. But to be fair, its not a proper drag track that there running the times on so who knows.. Santa Pod is a good level playing field (when its got any grip) but at 500 miles its hardly local lol.. Its over 200 for me too.. Shame :(
