Volkswagen Golf TSI 1.4

A damn quick pocket rocket.

It pulls away from me so easily like I am not moving.
I can only imagine what its elder brother can do.

What it is?
It is the Volkswagen Golf TSI 1.4.
240NM of torque from 1400 rpm all the way to 4500 rpm.
All this torque for use in between the rev that is most used daily.
All this from just a 1.4 litre engine.





Damn.
The more I look at it, the more tempting it has become.

Sigh.
How ar?

SPOILER !!
I finally got this product out from my car.
My car felt very much livelier now and more eager to go all across the REV range.

Stay tuned.....

Is this usable?

Is this power usable?

More to come.

Compression fail

Cylinder No 1.
Your compression just failed.

Booo !!!

Private Track Day

Had a "private" track day at SIC for the whole of today's afternoon.

Why "private"?
Because I literally have the whole track to myself.

Was invited for this by one of my club members and I somewhat agree to go with the condition, if there is no traffic I will participate.

When I arrive at the track today, there is not a single soul to be seen and I quickly pay up and jump into my car and then bring it out on the track.

It was a very fun session except for the horrible time of 3:04s that I posted.
My personal best is 2:55s
Maybe I am not being serious or I am out of touch lately?
Hmmm....

More about this later as I am so damn tired now after an eventful day.



Adios !!

Some hope?

Finally managed to meet up with them.

The meeting almost go south. Luckily I am able to think before I act. Previously, I would have turn the whole place upside down.

The rational me manages to work out something with them in order for this problem to be solve.
As this saturday is a public holiday, they agreed to tune the car next week.

A test run on a dyno dynamics dyno machine earlier shows a peak output of 122 HP which translated to about 125 PS.
Hmmm.. but something inside me is not feeling right. Felt like something is gonna happen but I don't know what.

Should I just take out this cams and forget about it or give them a chance to prove it to me?

Hmmm...

Decisions decisions decisions...

WTF..

The tacho bounce of a virtual rev cut at 4.5k tonight.
It happens randomly, but it is especially apparent on 4th gear.

FUCK the product.

No choice.
Will be filing the consumer tribunal claims tomorrow instead of next week.

Decided

As mentioned before here, my patience has ran out.

I am now in the midst of collecting the paper work necessary to begin officially filing a claim with the Consumer Tribunal of Malaysia.

The car runs so fucked up that I begin to wonder why am I ever remotely interested in this piece of shit previously.

I can't wait for the day where I swap the cams back to stock.

Damn........

The Result is out

The result is out.



Red is my stock cam profile.
Blue is the Works Performance Cam without dyno tuning.
Green is the Works Performance Cam with on-dyno tuning.

What say you guys?
A performance cam putting out way lesser power then a stock cam?
Hmm...
Cams problem or engine problem now?
Just for everyone's information, the engine has just only been rebuild.
:)

If it is not clear let me know and I will re-upload a clearer version.
