Paul, great effort, one thing EVERYBODY is forgetting,,,, you own that car, it is your car to live with. When the media tests a car, they hammer the living crap out of the unit and hand back all the bits and pieces back to the manufacturer to put back together. I think a better test and way easier on the drivetrain would be a rolling start and pull through all the gears. That is more "consumer-centric" as that would help determine what the car would be like entering a freeway on ramp that is short and has a semi bearing down at you doing 75MPH!!!!

@3:30 the reason you see more torque overshoot in 4th is because the ecm is managing the overshoot in a time-dependent manner and you're plotting over RPM. Take a look at the samples - the overshoot in either gear takes roughly the same number of samples to correct (I'm assuming the dynojet samples at a constant frequency no matter the gear). Also, the turbo accelerates in fewer rpm when in 4th, so the absolute torque is a little higher.

I'd suggest going out on the street and doing some practice launches with the traction control off and familiarizing with where the sweet spot is in the rpms to get a decent launch. You'll need to slip the clutch and get the car to start moving rolling, then pop the clutch as you get off the line (this will get the car to jump forward, rather than spin off of the line). Admittedly, I currently have a DSG and it is a lot simpler. However, I previously ran a MK3 VR6 and hit a 14.6 at 95 mph in the 1/4 with a 2.3 60' on street tires on a 98 degree Fahrenheit day in the middle of August in N.C.

@@Deutscheautoparts I don't think it was traction control. I think with how you dumped the clutch, the car saw wheelhop and thought "oh no you're spinning out/wrecking!" and tried to wrangle it back in with stability management/control, which can't be turned fully off according to US laws. Try slipping the clutch a little longer next time. I've done 14.0 in a friends stock MK8 GTI on this exact Rockingham Speedway track by doing that. Same tires, everything. I have a lot of drag racing experience, but he managed a 13.9 after me by doing what I showed him. If you ride the clutch a little uncomfortably long, it does much better 60' times as the stability control doesn't kick in on you.

How many miles are on it at the time of launching? You probably also got slower times with how bad the stock clutches have been in the past. My MK7.5 R had a hard time after a few pulls and I feel it get more spongy/have softer engagement for sure after a few pulls. I’m not ballsy enough to launch my car until I get my new clutch in and go through the proper break in procedure. I bet once you take out the clutch bleeder block restricter, braided steel clutch line, and practicing where the car likes to launch, you will be able to match or beat the projected times.

Ran a 14.8 in my stock mk6 GTI 6mt, was a good challenge. Used to hold it at 3k rpm, have the clutch just barely engaged and handbrake pulled, would drop the handbrake and clutch and let the wheels slip through 1st and usually would hook in 2nd. It was kinda spinning is winning because as soon as you run out of front suspension extension that’s when it spins the tyres. Would recommend finding a quiet street and practicing the launch routine for a manual GTI just to get the action down and in muscle memory if you catch my drift.

I think those are great times for stock tires, cold track, and FWD torquey-boi. People need to understand that with magazine times, car manufacturers KNOW they're gonna be tested for 0-60, 1/4, and all that, so they will send their absolute best example. There have been more than a few "scandals" over the years where auto manufacturers were busted sending cars with higher compression, more aggressive tunes, stickier/non-factory tires, and etc. So they'll do anything to give themselves better numbers. In the real world, these numbers rarely translate. Good job buddy, no flaming from me. With better tires, slipping the clutch just a little more, and some luck, 13.9-14.0 definitely possible with a 98-99mph trap. Good job either way!
@whorutothink3 жыл бұрын
100% agreed. I'm glad at least one person in the comments got that. I would be willing to bet that the 'official' times were probably run with the same Toyo R888s that they sent their demo car over here equipped on. I also think that slipping the clutch is going to be key to getting a decent launch, as I've commented elsewhere here. People don't understand how to launch a FWD car and frequently tend to either bog/spin off of the line. It's a balancing act and you really only get it down by practicing a lot until you get the feel for it.

From system and control theory that spike is what refered to as an overshoot in the step response. It's usually undesirable when tuning the models controller. It's likely that the models controller was tuned in 3rd gear and not 4th. That why the step response are a better. But I'm guessing that the models use dynamic coefficients. So it would be interesting to see if the car continues to do this after you're driven it for a while.

That's with absolutely slamming the gears, and a high rpm launch that absolutely cooks the clutch. Literally 70% of the time in 1st gear was with the clutch slipping instead of the tires. Also using the e-brake to preload the entire drivetrain to eliminate the sudden jolt on launch that starts wheel slip.

Honestly better tires alone probably would have gotten you about 14.3. That’d make sense when the DSG is 13.9

@@sethwalker8952 I'm not surprised they suck at drag racing, when they have to do everything else as well. The tyres are also an essential part of the WLTP score, so the manufacturer would of course choose a more eco friendly tyre on anything but a race car. Sure it's a GTI, but it's still a Golf.

With the way he was launching the car, not even drag radials would have made a significant difference. He needs to learn how to slip the clutch as the car is first getting off of the line, then release the clutch fully once the car has begun to roll forward.

my dsg 7.5 gti did 13.6 but it has a 3.5" exhaust system all the way, no resonator, and a foot by foot muffler.

That’s impressive 1/4 mile times

*Mustang Dyno Entered the Chat* - “That will be 211 whp and 221 ft lbs.” All jokes aside that’s impressive. I think the interior of the mk8 is absolutely terrible but I may look past this because it looks so good and given this power, I’m excited.

Hey! Do you guys have a subwoofer retrofit for the ones with deleted HK system? You can use mine as a beta I'm in the northern Virginia area too.
