The car is getting in its Groove. Nice Man. Definitely that earlier Boost made a huge difference. Thanks for showing us why you Rev limit to keep the booSt instead of charging gear earlier. Your setup is just improving and improving. Thanks for the Great Entertainment. Good luck Yeah those 12s are coming with lotsa hard work. Dialing this car in is not as easy as just pressing lanch control and going. Real drivers car. Good job thus Far. 👍👍👍👍
Getting the setup dialled in is taking some serious effort. Give a drag racing noob a boosted car and this is what happens 😂 Things take really long. But I'm learning along the way which is great. Let's see what I can do tomorrow at Street mania. Hopefully a 12 is in the bag.
@@lowdl thats the way... i think you hit sweet spot with boost coz you lagged just a bit when hitting 3rd so any more you gonna sit in more lag. But yasis that cheers bru for the beams hahahahah
@@YusufPetersenCPT I had to hit the Beams with that one 😂 I shifted to 3rd slowly so that I don't mess up the run. Haha. But I needed to get my dak back.
Yo LL, you have a BEAST , can't wait till you get a setup you happy with, but until then the BEAST is getting stronger. Thanks for the updates. YOU SLAUGHTERED BIG CARS
Hey Bud, while racing that beams and you sat with him and when you changed to 2nd gear i shouted yes, i think you should turn it up a bit more till you find the sweet spot. Keep up the good work buddy i was really excited and do you maybe know what your times was
I do need to turn it up some more. Which I have. 😬 Keen to see what it does at the next event. Pity I couldn't get in as many runs as I usually do at robot racing. Thanks for the support at the track. Glad I got to race that Beams again 😅 My best time on the night was a 13.9.
I've had that rear view camera for a while now. It's needed to give more context to the racing. It's really boring if I'm ahead and there's nothing to look at. Haha.
Great work man. Awesome turbo build. Love the way you Tune on scene. Would love to get some info and turbo knowledge. Keep up the vids and awesome work
Yasis bud, one would swear you work at metro trail, leaving train lengths. Kudos on testing and turning. That golf was giving guys false hope towards the end 🤣
Some really good progress there! Love that is coming together. At the risk I breaking something, I was quietly hoping you’d do another 2nd gear burnout 😂
@@ganiefismail3761 For sure. I could see it when I ran a 13.1. 1st and 2nd gripped up really well and the car moved out good. The 12's is coming soon but running it consistently is going to be a challenge.
Loved the video Lorenzo. I especially loved it when your slaughtered the Golf7 and the Corolla(payback’s a b#*%h🤣). Looks like you’re reaching that sweet spot. Could turn the boost up a tad bit more. You’re killing it. Well done. BTW what was your quickest time?
The times I ran was not great, 13.9's. But it was a good night of testing. I realised that I need to change my setup for night events. My launch rpm is too high amongst other things. I'm racing tomorrow so hopefully I'll see some good times 🙏
Try a step instead of ramping to your max boost. The ramp will always enhance the wheel spin. So try logging what your top speed and first gear and set that to the same boost. Then step up the the next boost u need to run in 2nd and then anything for second and third could be a ramp.
That makes sense but but the boost fluctuates and ramps on its own because of the size of the turbo. It doesn't hit the target quickly. Top of 1st is 0.8 bar and 72km/h. Going into 2nd the boost dips and vehicle speed dips because wheel speed and vehicle speed is not the same going into 2nd gear. Into 2nd gear im doing around 50km and then it needs to build again and hits about 1.2/3 bar peak. If the wheels spins going into 2nd gear, wheel speed and vehicle speed needs to play catch up and that throws off my boost by speed setting which I didn't account for. WIthout wheel spin, it would be simple. Or simpler. And ramping 3rd and 4th isn't worth while because the turbo does the ramping and I want all the boost in those gears because it doesn't spin.
@@lowdl I am not saying you need to ramp after 2nd gear. What is base spring pressure ? What is target boost in 1st gear vs the boost you can achieve in 1st gear? And the same for 2nd?
@@ares65 that's correct. It's only in 4th gear that it's able to hit and hold the target. We're going to change the boost solenoid to force the wastegate closed. It should hit the target sooner in each gear.
Yo bud i love the content mang. I have a lil suggestion if it could help have you tried changing your limiter to run 7700-7800rmp to compensate in high boost from 1st to 2nd?
@@sagepoggenpoel712 If I could I would raise the rpm to 9000. 😅 But like Andrew said, it's risky revving a stock head that high. If a valve gets unhappy that's an engine gone.

Thanks a lot. Let's hope I can bring a new PB home. 🙌 Pity you can't make it but there will be more events.
i just love this car and the way it moves getting the groove on point against the poster boys

@@hurschelotto4604 I feel like I'm getting somewhere but I also feel like the boost switch is better 😂 this boost by speed thing is tricky.

I am nursing it 😂 I'm not flat all the way through first.
I'm a toyota fan but this mark2 takes the cake tonight this golf is one of the hardest golf's
Appreciate it Muneeb 🙏
I feel like you getting more and more call outs coming your way🤣🤣🤣
Haha. We'll see. Once I've got the car dialled in I'll be happy to accept them. Just gotta get the car more consistent.
Great video thanx.
🙌
Yess. Looking strong!
It's coming together... Kind of. Haha.
Extremely good progress man. Golf is and will be where you want it soon. It desperately needs a good diff installed though.
Yes. That's my Achilles heel. Trying to work around it as best I can.
Some really good progress there! Love that is coming together. At the risk I breaking something, I was quietly hoping you’d do another 2nd gear burnout 😂
😂😂😂 No 2nd gear burnouts for a while. Need to play it safe for a while. Haha.
Ya I think you just need some slicks or proper semi slicks with lower tire pressure
Quality tyres is required for sure.
Making good progress bud
Thanks a lot 🙏
look at 4:47 and you will see why you should go for the 13" fat wheels. They will give you way more traction off the start line.
I'm going 15's because of brakes and future mods that won't allow for 13" wheels. It will be worth it 😬
Your car is super strong in 3rd and 4th by the looks of it
Yes 3rd and 4th is where it can put the power down. The 1st and 2nd gear is where I struggle.
@@lowdl improving that 1st and 2nd will def get you in the 12's

You seriously need to add the Donald Trump bye bye meme when you hit that boost switch
😂 I need some sort of meme that displays on the rear window at some point just to mess with the guys behind me. Haha.
Killed it sir . That beams was caught on gap cam 📷 🤣 tell me is this an AUM engine?
It's a AWC engine. It's very similar to a AGU but it's a small port head.
Perfect night performance to your car👏👏👏👌what 1.8t setup are running brov?

Lol almost at the magical 330kw 😂

The next event is today, 16th June. It's a Street mania event. It's timed but no prep.

Hi there no street mania footage
It's coming on Wednesday 💪🏾
You need to study the speedo to find out, at what speed you should change to second gear.
Wheel speed and vehicle speed isn't the same. But you make a good point. I do need to figure that out because the rev gauge doesn't help. Lol.
shit the golf is fast
Bra your car is nice 👌 👍 🙂 mooi and really fast 😳

No dragy times?
I've got the times. But I only recorded 3 out of the 5 runs. When I'm testing I might not add the times.
Bud I still think you need a quicker spooling turbo…… just my opinion
It's a pity opinions doesn't pay for turbos. Lol. If I had the cash on hand, I would have a faster spooling turbo.
shit this mk2 is fucken quick wooow how much power do you make
Around 280ish kW.
mk7 GTI doesn't launch well at all
Some guys are able to get their Mk7's off the line well. This guy is still pretty new to it so he just needs seat time.
