Fabia Rs Tuning Already Out

FightingDiva · 15-07-2003, 10:23

I just saw that Dahlbeck Racing in Sweden already have a "chip" for the Fabia vRS.

The power you could expect is 163bhp, not bad at all

They are mad! But then you probably know that being in the same sort of area as them. IIRC they have blown a few engines apart in the past (well, what do you expect when trying to get more than 600 BHP from an Octavia) Sound like my kind of people!

The most amusing thing about Dahlbäck is their going furthest by far with the Octavia (550bhp). Their A3 or Golf conversions they offer are kids stuff compared to that!

Another man with a secret - well, no so secret - love for Skoda as his favourite VAG brand?

His Audi sport quattro is still my favourite, though...

Time to pay them a visit with your Octavia then?

I've already talked to them about the 450

I've also spoken to someone over there with a silver subaru (Jerry) who has confirmed that they are quite, quite mad

When a swedish TV-chanel (Kanal5) did a film about his mad Golf RSI, they asked him what the Ingolstadt people thought of him and his "tuning" company, he simply answered:

-They said that I don't know where the limit is and that I don't know anything better then making mad tuning.

Well, I agree.

I can't really tell if he likes the Skoda or not, but he can tune all VAG/Audi/Skoda/Seat cars that's for sure.
Maybe he wants someone to take a big step and choose the mad 550bhp upgrade

550? Hmmmm, how long does it take to drive to Sweden?

Wonder how long they'd need it for.....

FightingDiva · 15-07-2003, 10:52

Well where do you live Jon?

Let's assume you live in central europe (netherlands for example), it's around 10.000-13.000km.

FightingDiva · 15-07-2003, 10:54

sorry i mean 1.000-1.300 ofcourse (silly me!)

**TaviaRS** · 15-07-2003, 11:11

OK, just done Autoroute and its 1109.5 miles for me. Hmm, at least it would be run in by the time I got it home

You'd have to have changed your tyres at least once during the journey back

Well, you figure it out by looking at what they want to change to your car...

Quote:

New E-proms in ECU, optimization of flow to intercooler, new turbo, custom built exhaust manifold, intake manifold, wastegate, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, camshafts, crankshaft with increased stroke (2.0 L), piston rods, pistons, oil cooler, clutch, flywheel, air filter, modification of air filter housing and charge air hoses and pipes, extra engine mounts, modification of crank case breather, porting of cylinder head, 2 x race cats, stainless steel exhaust (turbo-back).

Note The software maintains full functionality in terms of diagnostics, engine protection and fault code memory.

Sounds like your Octavia bodyshell is the only original thing to return from Sweden

Nikos: so no-one has ordered the 550hp conversion as yet? Which one has already been done? The 420?

**TaviaRS** · 15-07-2003, 11:29

On the other hand, why go to Sweden?

I now have a list of where I can get nearly all of that within 50 miles of home

For Alcohol- It only costs about 6 times as much as here!

Quinten · 15-07-2003, 12:28

I wonder how much your insurance premium will increase if you mention casually that the 'performance upgrade' adds 200% bhp to the engine

But how much do the blondes cost?

Depends on how much of the expensive alcohol you have to buy the blondes

None. I prefer mine to be sober.
