I see a lot of comments saying that it’s slow . The thing is the ring is far from flat and with the added passengers too ….. that engines under massive load on the uphill sections . On a flat , straight road it would be faster
Yeah it's not slow. I think it got to 150mph+ on the fast stretch before any heat soak could happen, with 2 passengers. It has the power. It isn't a gutted track car.
It's plenty fast. There were three people in the car and you can tell he was taking it easy, for the most part. I bet she'd be a ripper if he were soloing it.
Agreed, 3 grown men and heat soak. 330bhp/280whp (15% drivetrain loss) probably means it's running a small turbo like a k04 or gt25. Unless it's 330whp, which would be closer to 380bhp. The way it climbs from 80-130mph shows that it's pretty quick, even with all the extra weight.
Disable XDS in 03 ABS Brakes Disable “Starting Vibration” in 03 Change ESC settings from 09 to 06 in coding within ABS Brakes. Must do all the above and then traction will be completely off.
@@areamotorsport Congratulations! Your customer`s cars slower on track thanks to you, who turned off XDS. It`s useful unless you install real LSD (or VAQ) to the front differential. I wouldn`t go to your service
Gotta code out the ESC/TC for it to turn off completely by holding the button down. Definitely could benefit from some suspension work, at the very least RSB
Horsepower engineers are on 🔥 😂😂😂 Guys, each one of them weighs 200lbs, they’re all tanked. Plus outside temp, plus the uphill parts, etc. 330hp crank, no doubt.
I remember back in the days watching Top Gear, not being able to disable the "actual" traction control was the bigges drawback, sure it was the Rabbit version but...
if you still have your balance shaft you dont want to rev above double what they can handle (which is 14 000, so 7k RPM) or you might break it and kaboom. Also you have no more torque gain above 6500RPM (roughly) so there's no point beside endangering your car in this setup
Exhaust sounds bad IMO. If it's ACTUAL titanium and not some like jdm yo fake titanium shit then it's just there to save weight but it still sounds bad lol
i think the e-LSD is useless. i know you can code the e-LSD in 3 modes like (Standard, Weak, Medium, Strong) but im not sure if there is any real difference. All golf GTI's should came with an e-LSD from factory. but its just the brakes that will be activated the brakes handle the power. so your pads will be basically get hotter and hotter
@@ollie8329 if its Electronic, which means it still uses the ABS pump to correct and wear your pads, and also heat them up innit? So i think its better to turn it fully off in the code and get a real LSD. sadly they are expensive without even installing them... ugh... thats why most of us don't have a real mechanical LSD yet. expensive stuff and hard to do it yourself.
@4ntz_Gaming_Channel No it uses clutches inside the diff to control the wheelspeed which are electronically activated, its called a VAQ system. The only reason it would engage the brakes is because the TCS needs completely disabling in VCDS. But yeah I imagine it's no where near as good as a mechanical one still, i've only ever experienced the VAQ
@@78destro i dont know maybe the problem is because there are three in the car but if i watch speedo this is around 260Hp. normal stage 1 golf goes like that
Nope, at the crank which is how we measure in the UK as thats how the manufacturers market them- we never buy a car based on its whp but its bhp, so thats why we measure in bhp when me modify 🤷🏼
I did not understand one bit of that but I'll see if I can do it in the Skoda Octavia vrs. It's been raining in this part of Australia for about a week and the roads are soaked and wheelspin is a needed part of acceleration lol
I love and mostly watch your channel when you take out and drive the everyday car. Don't get me wrong the supercars a great and all but to see the potential and the capabilities of the average automobile grabs my attention more! Thanks Misha!
It is a Perfomance right? Does that LSD diff still work?? Also turn off the torque limiter in the ABS control module, via VCDS. Traction wont kick in anymore.
i could actually feel and hear the "drag" on the engine....espacially from "over the bridge at the bottom and then all the way uphill back to döttinger Höhe.....
What do you expect from a golf loaded with 3people inside… not gutted aswell like it‘s obvious that the car can‘t show it‘s full potential i myself see that with my Project C…
Misha, you "pressed" BMW to apex, I know you are faster driver, but that particular situation wasn't safe enough IMHO th-cam.com/video/CbMpCAnFNJU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Iae5afep-HvZB98z&t=257
Misha, I drove your red Golf last year, had the same problem first laps especially in Carousel. Holding down the ESC for over 10 sec turned it completely off. :)
He needs OBDeleven (different than OBD-II) or VAGCOM to change settings allowing him to fully disable ECS/traction control - although it will still interfere slightly if you really break traction hard enough. Cobb AP3 would allow you to fully roast the tires if desired, as well as adding spark based traction control which makes a good difference as well
how often do we see a big turbo upgraded car have cooling issues. was a good lap for what it is and the xtra weight of brear passengers until you had to back off.
Misha, I have a question. Considering the track and its turns, where is it better to seat the third passenger for the best weight balance? On the left or on the right?
they always try make more power before preparing to make more power, would be refreshing for you to get given a stock tune with upgraded cooling, brakes and maybe suspension and tyres
Because it's not a track car, he would never run into heat issues on the road. Mine is 380BHP with an IS38 and the stock oil cooler is perfectly fine for road use.
@@ollie8329 even still though, long trips, heavy loads, hot ambient temps. get stuck behind a bus in slow moving rush hour traffic in a heatwave. most cases you're okay, most cases your not driving the nords but in the times when you are in one of those cases you'll start to wish you done cooling first. even just upgrading the main radiator fan will go along way to keeping temps down.
@ughes5392 in those situations it would be no different to running a stock map, it's only going to overheat if you're constantly flooring it like on a race track

140kg? Lol more like 210-220kg. There's 3 people, no way they each weigh 47kg, otherwise they'd be taking a trip to hospital, not around the ring. Unless you're talking about just the passengers, then that makes more sense.
120 celcius is fine, as long as it doesnt go much over 130 you are safe but at these temperatures you really should run w40 or even w50 oil viscosity, w30 and lower will be too thin
There’s literally no cars showing 350hp on 100 octane fuel even in cold weather. E85 or WMI - sure no problem. 100 octane only 340hp with ton of air and exhaust mods. Regular car will show 320
Misha the traction control is off, its the Electronic Diff trying to engage, that why it cut power like traction control. newer cars equipped with Electronic lsd all do this, including BMW m2.
its not completely off, its in sport mode. Then it allows a bit more compared to fully enabled, but still kicks in when things get more wild. It can however be coded so that instead of Sport mode it will turn TC off completely, but in this case the display clearly states "ESC Sport" at 2:09 Regarding the LSD, if its a Performance, it even has a real LSD rather than an electronic one, but I'm not sure if it is a Performance or not
It doesn’t have a electronic differential. This is a myth. It is a electronic controlled mechanical differential. The XDS is the issue that no one disables, which is the system that applys brake pressure in certain cornering conditions. But this is no good for track use.
You don’t know what you are talking about… Why you try to advise when you go to work on a bus daily? It’s traction control, you never notice XDS work in VW/ Audi car

That car just sounded terrible. Was dogging it. Too many ppl in that small car... 330hp? Hm. Prob not. Or not healthy car.
You can fully disable ESP via VCDS in ABS brakes. Change coding from 09 to 06 and you'll get ESP off like in Golf R. Makes massive difference.

Also turn off the torque limiter in the ABS control module, via VCDS. Traction wont kick in anymore.
I knew it can be disabled completely somehow. Don't remember whether I've seen it on VCDS or the cars menu though
You can enable the option via VCDS to have it on the screen. You get ASR/ESC off instead of ASR off and ESC sport i think@@justus9694
