VW GOLF GTI MK7 - STOCK VS STAGE 3!

my feed is full of gtis... algo trying to brainwash me into buying the car lol :DD i see common pattern to be.. tuning the car to up to 300-350hp and i never see anyone restoring the block itself or cylinders , rods , bearings my question is how much abuse and beating do stock can handle?

[@adamm.1367]

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj Gen 3+ ea888 motors can reliably make 400-450 on stock internals, no issue. But fueling, the stock turbo, clutch & trans become weak links once you get past a basic stage 2 setup. 300-350 is common because it's cheap & easy to attain with basic bolt on's an a tune and you can still maintain decent fwd drivability (400+hp in a fwd = spinning ain't winning)

[@spencerrichmond5845]

@@adamm.1367anyway to mitigate wheel spin? Bigger front tire?

[@adamm.1367]

@spencerrichmond5845 wider stickier tires + lsd will greatly reduce wheelspin. There are some 17x9 combos that will clear the factory bbk/r-brakes (Apex sm-10 for example) and the added sidewall will help lot. Hard to eliminate completely of course. An upgraded dog bone insert will mostly eliminate wheel hop as well. Happy modding 👍

Nice!! I’ve had an A4, an A3 S-Line and I just got my first MK7 GTI P/P bone stock from an old gentleman only owner and kept it serviced like nothing I’ve ever seen. Volkswagen put about $6k into it and I’m nervous to try and push any power into it with 94K on it. But, it’s been my favorite and most fun to drive of the 3 even stock. Anyone else nervous to do any performance upgrades on one with that many miles, even with the service records as thorough as they’ve been?

No idea why but the quoted 177lbs,ft was the figure it was producing at max power & not the peak torque figure as standard. The standard output for an early mk7 is ~215hp/250lbs.ft A pity the vid didn’t quote like for like!

Most tuners say to keep it below 400whp/440wtq for a daily driver on pump gas. With E85 you can push closer to 450hp/475tq. There are people pushing higher numbers on the stock engine but thats a rough guideline

What does a stock to stage 3 jump in power do to the life expectancy of these EA888 engines?

It all depends on how you drive it. If you're foot on the floor every chance you get you'll undoubtedly have a shorter service life. If you're only occasionally stomping your foot to the floor you'll enjoy a longer life.

[@ronburgundy4375]

​@Brandon S nah the motors are essentially the same as a golf r... going to this level is only stage 2 golf r but its more potent due to it being lighter

[@BlackFlag94]

Do you have a comparison torque and power graph of both hybrid IS20 and IS38? I wonder if targeting the same ~450bhp would be nicer to drive with a lower boost pressure on the IS38 hybrid? Let's face it, these cars struggle for traction off the line so low torque isn't gonna be helping you there

[@Sus_blues]

Why is torque so low? Safety precautions?

[@PeterTX]

Looks like it was actually make 394lb ft back at 4500 RPM, but that dropped off to 351 at 6350rpm. So it would seem they focused on top end performance vs midrange.

When you upgrade the brakes, can there be problems that occur with adaptive cruise control? or does the computer figure it out itself?

Doesn't really matter on these engine's if they've been taken care off. These 2.0's have a few flaws but once you go S3 you'll have everything sucky about them done and renewed anyway. My MK7 GTI had a stage 3 conversion done at 175000 KMs, and it's now at 215000 without any leaks/issues. Should really let this be done by people who work on VW's all the time. I'm a certified VW mechanic myself so I did all the part conversions myself, had it dyno'd and tuned and it's been mad ever since. Big tip, don't go for a mad crackle map, it'll drive you insane after 500km (speaking from experience lol)
