Tunning A TDI

Re: Tunning A TDI

Here is the detailed dyno sheet that was performed at Kinetic Motorsports in Surrey, B.C. on a 2005 Jetta 5 speed.

The dyno had scales? The weight you used was very incorrect unless you were using a car that was at full capacity...a quick google or better still, trip to a weigh scale will get you a much better number to use in your Gtech. You should be closer to 3100 than 4000 which will make a BIG difference to the displayed HP on the Gtech.

I think I have weighed my car in at something like 3300 lbs, I can't remember exactly but definitely under 3500 on a scale.

I took the 05 Jetta to the highway scales and it weighed in at 1450 KG with the driver and the fuel tank at 1/4

I did a run with the module attached and one without using the updated weight. These are Net HP and Torque readings.

Re: Tuning A TDI

curious to see what you get in a 1/4, can do you do that?

The clutch is saying Ouch!
I will find a strip and do the 1/4 MILE tomorrow.
This is a better quality image,
The top red line is the torque and the bottom red is the HP with the module installed.
The top black is stock torque and the bottom black is stock HP

Got my 04 PD Chipped a few days ago, must say its a night and day difference. I defintly recommend it to anyone, and Simon is great to deal with. Still some smoking from the car, so I'll give it a few days to see if it gets better. Other than that it is fantastic, worth every penny.

Re: Tunning A TDI

Ive got a 2004 TDI sport that so far Ive only changed the muffler on because I hate the look of the stock one but I would like to hear of any mods that people know of for Diesel's not to sure if I want to chip it. Has any one ever seen a TDI with propane injection. Also I want to get the Zender body kit but dont like the idea of getting it done by Concept one to have to get it painted somewheres else, any suggestions?

Theres a couple pics in here so far but hopefully it it will be looking a whole lot different for summer!!

Hi Chris,
I have the Dieseltuning.com stickers all made up and ready to send them to you as promissed. Do you want me to mail them to you direct or to Concept 1 for you to pick up? Enjoy Chris. joe@dieseltuning.ca

Re: Tunning A TDI

Well must say that the module makes it a much more playfull ride hopefully I can find some one with just the chip added in to try it out against. Does anyone know if a blow off valve improves Diesel engines? Anyone done it?

Thanks Joe for getting me set up!

heh, go ask that on www.tdiclub.com

(p.s - it does nothing but make noise on a TDI i believe)

I blowoff value will come very close to destroying your engine. The turbos in TDIs are a VNT tubro (viarable vane) therefor the vane pitch changes as per the ecus request creating more or less boost (therefore where our great low end torque comes from). Using a blowoff will screw everything up to the extreme.

But you'll look and sound so cool!

The 2005 Jetta PD TDI Ran the 1/4 in 16.4 seconds with a 2.4 second 60 foot time.
The 2004 Golf PD TDI Did it at Mission Raceways in August at 15.92 seconds.
The Golf is 400 Pounds lighter.
The Jetta was car 4700 Left Lane. The price of the PD Modules has been lowered. Check with Basco Parts Edmonton or Concept1 Calgary.
