On Mrc’s dyno it run 467ps 540nm, but agreed it’s very punchy down low, may swap to a bigger turbo like Luke’s, but does chases his 500hp one, so either none of us have hp or unfortunately you’re wrong
Interesting fact. People run j hook discs because they look cool, but they are the least effective groove type for cooling. Straight and curved groove are better.
Well what you say may or may not be true but many race teams use them. Actually before ceramics the Porsche race team would take off the drilled/slotted rotors for solid discs.@JC_46 @@JC_46

I always wonder, does this increase the value because it becomes interesting to someone who wants a track car but doesn’t want to build one? Or can this only be sold as a parts car when he’s done? - since he still owns the golf r that he build before. (Never seen that vid)
I'll tell you who's in it. A guy that's pretty slow on the technical stuff. He was lucky the Golf had TC problems and probably slightly down on power compared to it, or he'd been in the rear-view from the start. Every time corners had to be taken he lost full seconds compared to the Golf.
Road legal, lmfao... If you're presenting this car, especially with its front splitter, to a german "TÜV Prüfer" he'll straight up get an Herzklappenabriss.
@@eppyz up at Kesselchen the driver lift up the throttle, oil temps were at 120. And I believe this is ok but I wouldn't name "the ultimate something" if it's overheating..
If it was overheating the car would have gone into limp mode, which it didn't, the cut in power seen was from the traction control system that was fixed with tuning.@@fuhrereduard
Looks right to me. His car has a lot of aero. Of course it's going to be harder to accelerate at higher speeds, but he was hitting over 220km/h on some of the steepest and higher speed sections of the track. I think he right where he says he is. Plus, we all know British dynos read a little high ;)
A V5 on flex fuel with boost by gear ecu and tcu this car will be off tap as for the 470hp it probably has it but obviously had some issues with engine light so power will be reduced,eventually it’ll be sorted and off she goes ,great car .

that 140 was absolutely flying 💨💨💨💨🚀🚀
Amazing to see a FWD car whip around corners at 100mph + like its nothing....freaking amazing. Stock engine internals as well? Crazy!!
What an amazing build
and the classic check engine light vw loves that
It’s due to the fuel gauge not working unfortunately 🙃
Super fast fly swatter!

Massive improvement over the Golf R prototype 🤪 Savage build, awesome review Luke 💪🏼
That huge wing looks sick 🔥🔥

Awesome Vid !!!
Which widebody / arch kit is that?
Very nice car waht is the weight ?
Do you use Wavetrack LSD?
its not 470 maybe 360-70ps…3-4 gear is so dead, best ecu for that platform is REVO!! But beautiful build 💪

These type of disks were not intended for cooling they're just meant for degassing/deglazing of the brake pad.
@@eppyz regardless, they are still the worst groove type. I’ve seen multiple instances where they offer uneven wear vs typical groove design too.

What's the spec?

Hi can please interview this guy who hv a twin turbos 3.6 v6 golf 7r.5
I love the ppl that watch a yt video of a car and just know how much hp a cat has. Like wut? Why would anyone trust your eye dyno?
What was the song in the beginning

I hope Misha gets to have a lap in it

the ultimate overheater
Most cars pushing over 200 hp per liter have the same issues. Though in this video overheating didn't seem a problem🤔

How did you sort the traction issues mate? Mines the same in corners?
Cheers
It was all sorted with coding using obd11 in the end
Not knocking the car but I expected 470bhp to be quicker than that?
surging quite alot
Yep Traction Control kicking in he remedied this by using obd11 to change the settings
Is this quicker than the golf 7 r?
Was quicker than Lukes by 3 seconds from what they said in the video. That can just be the driver though🤔
@@eppyz yeah we need to give both to misha and see 😂
The Gti did a quicker lap than my golf r and Luke’s

On his videos he is racing a Bugatti
That is not 470bhp

It was stability control issues that were sorted with obd 11 the day after. You can see the stability light flashing like f*ck and cutting power

The dsg is faster than a manual. The computer doesn't make any human errors !
