Hi, my name is Pedro I always watch your videos and I love them. Not long ago I put a comment with a race, a buggati saw of (1001cv) vs the BMW improved with (1000cv) I hope you like it

[@valiantdiesel1332]

This is EXACTLY the sort of race I've wanted to see. I would love a series of stock cars Vs their tuned selves to see the difference it makes.

[@flavioxy]

Like my Astra G 0-200km/h, stock: 31s; stage about 4, 340hp: 17s and Audi S1 0-200km/h, stock: 24s; stage 3 (equals audi S3 stage 2), 380hp: 15s or also such engines that are strongly restricted by the manufacturer like the BMW 2015 114i going from 100 to 200hp with a stage 1. So much to explore.

[@valiantdiesel1332]

@@flavioxy Exactly! Any model where the engines are the same across the board but detuned for linearity (like the 114i having the same engine as the 116i, and both having some serious tuning potential, as you said). Say, a stock 125i, tuned 125i and stock M135i in a drag race. So you get the 'How much faster can you make the 2.0 litre compared to stock on a stage 1/2?' *and* the 'How well does it compare to the 3.0 litre?' Definitely a good shout with the VAG cars too, since they all use that damned 2.0 litre! Tuned GTI vs Stock Golf R would be a cracking race, obviously not off the line but in a roll race it'd be really interesting Obviously all of that, on top of the stock car vs stage 1 version simple concept, would be gold in my opinion

[@flavioxy]

@@valiantdiesel1332 I buy cars with potential even if I don't have them tuned right away. My Skoda Superb has the same 2L as the Golf R.

[@valiantdiesel1332]

@fluffy91 Honestly this is exactly what I've been doing with my project cars for years, get the lowest state of tune on an engine with massive potential and then start slow on the mods. Had a 1.9TDi Bora (90hp) swapped some stuff to make it equal/faster than the 150hp for not much. That engine now lives in my Transporter T4, long after the Bora crumbled around the PD beast! Had a BMW 325i, which had the same engine as the 330i but detuned (N53B30). Stage 1 made it faster than the 30i with much higher spec for the money. Now working on a base model 8N TT, with the 150hp 1.8T, not much to get it to the 240hp Quattro Sport level. (It's FWD but we'll look past that lol) Aren't cars great?

The difference between tuning and tuning. It's not enough to change some stuff with the ECU.

[@TC-db5fm]

Nope the real fruits of tuning are seen when you change the ECU to a stand alone where many more parameters involving air to fuel as well as more controlled power delivery on launches and boost by gear come into play. A true bespoke map none of this generic flashing. Also optimises the maximum potential of any hardware modifications as well.👍
