Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
I would say 3.
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Shouldnt be too noticable then :/ , cheers anyways
No worres.
172 cup
No idea, modern diesels aren't exactly slow nowadays especially after a remap
Used to own a bora myself 115 remapped but was still sloow , so didnt expect a remapped 130 to stick with it thats all.
dunno , they are good , used to be the bain of my life when i was running the elise , however the vag tdi's have nothing on the 2.0 d cylinder volvo lump i am now driving , it makes a vag tdi feel like a slug !!
Because diesel engines are slow and prehistoric IIRC.

Because no standard Bora tdi should be able to keep up with a healthy 1*2 maybe?

Even the 110hp 1.9 chuck out 235Nm. Clios make 200 on paper
130/150 1.9 will eat it once rolling.

Flol what a load of rubbish... My brothers 170 Octavia couldn't keep up with my old 172 so a fail to see how a 130/150 Bora will!

They need all that torque to pull the weight of the barges along lol. :rasp:
Can easily map a golf mk4 tdi to 170bhp

Despite all the thousands of people misquoting carol shelby all over the internet, bhp is actually far more important than torque for acceleration assuming you understand how to use a gearbox and have a reasonable set of ratios to choose from.
You can potentially lose 5% of your power from a blowing exhaust if its fairly bad based on what I have seen on the rollers.
When you add corners though that comes down to skill. You're an experienced circuit driver so I can well believe you can pass an average driver in a Leon TDI.
It wasn't a look at me post it was more to prove that when people say i nailed a 911 in my clio ,or a tdi kept up with me , its a completely meaningless on most accounts ....
mid range punch on a good tdi will catch a clio napping , and a really torquey one will do more so .... i did this the other night with the wife driving the clio (and trust me shes no slouch on track) and me in front on the volvo , she was annoyed because she had to work to keep up ...
the actually story with the elises and the gt3 , was gt3 driver and a rather accomplished race driver spun his gt3 on a damp patch when i came up behind him on a siting lap cause he had a muppet right foot moment , and the 3 elise drivers came into the paddock and said how much power is your leon cupra r putting out , and then were amazed when i pointed to the tdi badge ...... now to ease their pride in the damp an elise is a tricky little blighter ,and in a fwd car you can take liberties slightly more.
With their pride restored they presented to show me a clean pair of heals in the dry .......

All you've proved is you're a better driver.
A healthy Clio driven by anyone with half a brain should be quicker than said tdi on a dual carriageway.

Only if the clio isn't kept on the boil...
Efa. On a dual carriageway there is naff all in it.

Well after a few blasts with my brothers 170 (and another vrs) I beg to differ tbh.
RB 182 195bhp
It all depends on the gear they are both in, if both are rolling at say 50 or 60, the Clio is in 5th and the tdi is in 5th/ 6th and they both go, then the mid range punch and early turbo boost would make the tdi faster, but if the Clio was in 2nd or 3rd I would be very surprised if the Clio wouldn't pull away in a straight line. It is after all 300kg or more lighter I'd imagine?!
You never looked on darkside developments ? Its around the corner from me and they have a ibiza with neli 400 bhp and runs 11.993 seconds quarter mile,love to see you smoke it down a duel carrageway
That did raise an eyebrow with me .... just on the shifts alone my e280 (same 3.0) was blistering to 100 ....
I seriously dont think people realise how powerful and quick some diesels are.
For reference e350 to 100 is 14.5 evo tested a 182 and got 17.5 .... and you go a long way in 3 seconds above 70

in summary as i said before you beating an e350 to 100 proves they were changing the radio station and opening a boiled sweet while the beads of sweat rolled down your brow ...... they simply were not using the loud pedal to its full extent.
and think about it ,when is an e350 driver even going to bother trying , he's wafting in comfort ...
oh and his 0-60 time is 6.5 , and his ears aren't bleeding .......

Back on topic.
The backbox on my old clio 172 decided to break away from the rest of the exhaust system one day, clearly fancied a change of scenery. Apart from being embarrassingly loud it also felt like that the torque had halved. Seriously. Can't really say what it did to the power as I didn't drive it hard with a broken exhaust, but it severely hampered the torque output. Really highlighted the importance of a car's exhaust system.
