A quick question

Chavyboy · 02-08-2004, 13:49

Just looked at the Revo tuning website http://www.revotechnik.com and the only TDI PD 130 car to make 300tflb of torque is the fabia vRS, even the mighty Golf, Bora, Ibiza and Audi engines 130/150bhp make a maximum of 290 bhp of torque, Why is this ? According to there site as well the PD150 engine only makes 10bhp more power but is down 10ftlb of torque

Probably just down to luck.

I've heard the Golfs usually make more than the Fabia / Ibiza because they have less restrictive exhausts.

Forgive my ignorance..but what difference does 10bhp on a remap make anyway, when the car inquestion while still be rapid?

Your ignorance is forgiven

It was a general question and not a "Will 10ftlb/10bhp make a big difference"

And the answer is :-

Hi Ivan,

The Ibiza and Fabia are lighter cars than the Golfs, A4's, etc thus the
gearboxes, clutches can handle more torque... We de-tune the heavier
cars as such.
