Got Dish? Got Speed? Fluidics GTI Stage 3.

[Ben]

What do you get when you add 290whp and some mega wide wheels? One damn hot Volkswagen!

Out with the old, In with the new, this replacement for Fluidic Digitals former BMW shatters all conceptions of Volkswagens not being able to hold their own.

Enjoy.

[WGR4Pussies]

Hey, I saw that car at the street races last night, and at the world of wheels(i think) any way it looks good, But I don't understand why you have so much Dish on the rear? it kinda looks funny(what I'm saying is I don't like it, lol, sorry)

Nice pictures ben.

Really has nothing to do with performance -- just shooting for more of a Euro VW look.

[pinoyhero]

Holy smokes, that is the hottest GTI I think I've ever seen, and what a sweet dish!

[sputnik]

Any wheel rub in the back? What kind of coils?

What did it take to get almost 300 hp?

[Spyderman_MaryJ]

Nice pictures... Even nicer car!..

[SinisterProbeGt]

Looking good pete:thumbsup:

[Hollywood]

I got a ride in it, it's a fun car, nice interior too.

So who's VW is faster Peter, yours or Barts?

[ryder_23]

Damn, FD, that looks mighty fine...deep dish :drool: no matter what people think, their just jealous :D Great pics as always ben, :thumbsup:

Whats the interior like? Anything done, or is she just stock?

[EK 2.0]

Amazing pics Ben, you all have to see that car in person to really go WOWSAHS!!...and I just didn't sell my Talon...FD YOU sold my Talon...but, no worries, as maybe I will pick up a 295 Front WHeel HP MK IV Golf huh??;)

[ZorroAMG]

Nice ride Peter, looking good!:thumbsup:

[Dj_Stylz]

[QuasarCav]

do you just hang your camera out the window to get those action shots?

[Fluidic]

Very little rear wheel rub, the FK Highsport coilovers really try and do their best to minimize rubbing. T3/T4 assists in making the powa. :)

Just need you're help to tune it up. Bart's car is very quick, but it's a different kind of fast. The two rides do not compare.

The interior has a few aluminum trim add-ons here and there... chrome rings around the tach and speedometer. I love the stock interior, nothing really to improve.

wow....thats just amazing:eek:

[CalgaryB5]

Nice:clap:

[VWhooligan]

nice car man! :thumbsup:

[R-Audi]

So thats 2 APR stage 3's on Beyond now??
Well have to put the VW up against the Audi.....
(once I get my boost leak fixed..)

I have the home programmer if you need as well.....

[JordanLotoski]

excuses excuses...that car will rape you:D

[R-Audi]

It could be close depending on launch. His car is lighter but FWD, and mine is heavier and AWD. The engines are basically the same upgrades (Both 290hp, and assuming that he can change his gas programs)
Currently my car is only holding 15psi, and should hold 22....

thats actually a ATP stage3, not APR. whooole different thing.

[CalgaryB5]

Word.

An Audi A4 is a heavier car. The advantage of you has probably better handling because of the Quattro and even output on all 4 wheels.

Anyway your car is :bigpimp:

[Fluidic]

The car was built off the ATP Stage-3 kit, however the previous owner changed a bunch of things -- mainly because he had the resources to do so, and because the ATP Stage-3 kit is garbage. One of the changes was going with a T3/T4 turbo.

I hold 20psi in every gear except for 1st (obviously) -- but I need a good tuning, because I drop 5 psi sometimes, and other times I don't. I'm putting my cat back in.

Mark I got you're PM. I'll let you know tomorrow. :)

[sputnik]

So I take it you bought the car pretty much as you see it?

Was it an Alberta car? Because I don't remember ever seeing it before.

[Fluidic]

Calgary car. Owner of Concept-1 was the previous owner. Never winter driven. It's a template -- I'm going to continue from here on, so much to change (performance wise).

[/////AMG]

nice VW! :drool:

[googe]

cops like it too ;)

[VWbloke]

Awesome. :thumbsup:

[Smartiepants]

Looks awesome Peter, so whats coming up on the car? We all know you couldn't go very long without new mods. :thumbsup:

[Maxt]

What motor is in that, 1.8 T.... I will have to admit to being skeptical of the HP claim, after seeing a similar car but with a supercharged vr6 and a 100 shot of n2o only put down 260 whp....
Its a clean car, I love wide wheels , but they are a little to wide for the car really, I think 255 with a little more "tuck" under the rear arches would look cleaner, or add some flares or something so they look fit the lines a little better ... If it were my car, the wide wheels would have gone on the power axle though...Maxt

[Holksvagon]

DAMN Peter... Lookin good buddy......

[euro_racer]

thats a sweet ride man, goto love V-Dubs:thumbsup:

[Ben]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

VR6 = 174flywheelhp stock (200 if 24 valve)

100 shot = 100whp

That would mean that the supercharger only added like 30 hp!?!?!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Whoever has that car needs to get with the program.

Supercharged VR6 stage 1 puts down roughly 230-250whp, stage 3's put down close to 400 with proper tuning and built internals. Add 100WHP of nitrous...man, what you posted is pretty hard to believe.

Besides, 290whp isn't that unbelieveable when you consider the much bigger turbo, injectors, exhaust system, and the fact the motor was built for boost.

[Holksvagon]

I know I had to laugh as well but thought I'd wait for someone on that one

[Maxt]

The car I mentioned is running a chipped ecu, and was an entire package built for the vr6 from some big name Volks tuner in the states, the vr6 is stock form might be 174 flywheel , in real life is like 110-125 at the wheels, add supercharger alone about 190 whp, and a 100 shot never really means a true 100 hp gain, in this case about 60 to the wheels, so the supercharger added aroun 65-80 whp.. Not bad, but not huge, and those numbers are from Concept-1's dyno, which is more generous than other dyno's around town...And beleive it or not, the owner was totally pumped about those numbers...400 with proper tuning..umm yeah ok.. not in this town....

Go pay Toma a visit and see what it does, it'd be interesting..Maxt

[Ben]

I've only ever seen nitrous "shots" rated in whp.

20% driveline loss (generous) on a VR6 is 140whp.

My frends over at tunerworks are plenty familiar with supercharging VR6's and I would trust their info over that those numbers you saw say, 190whp is shameful.

400 not in this town? Ok, you're right, not in Calgary, Edmonton has a Supercharged VR6 that puts down 424hp at 9psi.

http://vr6rabbit.com/dyno_for_page.jpg
http://vr6rabbit.com/Supercharged1.jpg

Ran a 12.5@ 115mph at Bud Park.


As far as the dyno used, sure, you generally see a bit higher numbers on a dynojet than a mustang, however not 1/3 or 1/2 higher.

In the end, who gives a damn, whether it's 290whp on a dynojet or 260 on a mustang, it's still lots from stock and it's still nice. what are you out to prove?

[Ferio_vti]

Wow nice pics.
Ben, how do you get those exterior shots while the car's in motion?? Those shots are amazing.

[ZorroAMG]

Skateboard and a free, steady hand...

[Stratus_Power]

Nice Car!!! i saw it yesterday in china town ( parked right beside you beside dersert House.. the RX330)

all i can say is :eek: :eek:

I actually waited for a few mins to see if you would show up so i can compliment on how good it looks haha

[method]

whats the deal with wide rears on a fwd car?

is it just the euro 'style'?

[rx7_turbo2]

I think it looks kind of odd as well, just doesnt fit somehow.

I'm not sure about the numbers either. Hopefully the owner will bring it to the track to show the numbers fit those quoted.

what kind of camera are u using..it's so clear.

and how did u get the driving shots like that? did u hang ur arm out the window or something?

424 at 9 psi.... Sorry but thats daydreaming... Even you should know better than that...Its pretty easy to post a dyno sheet , either a ringer, or one that belongs to something else... Do the math on the quarter time versus the claimed hp, something wrong there, like maybe a full second discrepency...
Do I have something to prove, yeah, 9/10's of the people on this board are full of shit....Maxt

Nice car Peter, can't wait to see it run at SS:thumbsup:

[fcuk_it]

holy shiet that cars :bigpimp:
parked beside it at the chinook theater tonite...

[Fluidic]

IMAX: Nascar 3D BABY!!!

[Akagi Redsuns]

Nice clean pics.

Just something doesn't sit right with the staggered deep dish RWD look on a Golf.....just me I guess.

I could see the 1.8T making that kind of power with the right tuning and turbo, probably even more. Hell the Toyota 3SGTE 2.0L can make that much, just like a Nissan SR20DET 2.0L could (as proved by another post with Hollywood's dyno sheet).

The VR6 is another story. I am biased as I have never been a fan of them. People have different ways to get FI to work on a motor that comes stock as a NA.

Anyways it comes down to 1.8T != VR6

[Forcefed]

Okay, enough of the bitching!! Ive seen this car before on the DYNO!! It formerly belonged to one of the owners at concept-1. Now any of you doubting Peters number can go sit on a dink, because what he says is the truth. Now Peter, is a respectable guy, I dont think he would come on here posting a bunch of BS numbers just for us to goff at.

Anyways tight car, looks ever better in person :thumbsup:
