Erstaunlich: Überholmonster VP-TDI | Posts 16+

Even the current Ibiza with a 96 kW TDI engine (untuned) is not better, according to DZR, due to its higher weight and the longer 3rd gear.


........also ich hatte je den Ibiza GT TDI BJ98 mit 110PS, der hatte laut Prüfstand mit KW-Systems Powerbox und einem Twister-Kit Filtersysem 141,8 PS/298NM bei einem Leergewicht von 1135KG.........der ging schon richtig heftig, da ich meinen Italiener (Alfa 156 2,4 JTD Edizione 171 PS)verkaufen werde und mir einen neuen Ibiza TDI SPORT PD mit 96KW (1195KG Leergewicht) holen möchte bin ich diesen mal probegefahren !! Besides the engine sound, I was totally impressed; it was definitely better than the sound of my old, tuned Ibiza (subjectively). I haven't had the chance to drive Ulf's Golf yet, but it seems incredibly awesome, that red Golf!

Now I want to get a new Ibiza TDI SPORT PD with 96 kW (1195 kg dry weight), and I test drove it this time!! I was totally impressed, except for the engine sound, which was definitely better in stock than my old tuned Ibiza (subjectively). I haven't driven Ulf's Golf yet, but it seems to be brutal, that red Golf!!!

Hi.
If the PD-Ibiza actually performs better in real-world conditions than your old one with the AFN engine, then either the dyno measurements for the AFN were artificially inflated, or the PD engine (once again) has significantly more power than what's stated on paper.

Unfortunately, I got used to the Golf's approximately 130 horsepower very quickly. I haven't put it on a dynamometer yet (and I don't plan to), but I trust the now quite well-developed electronic fuel injection system just as much.

Off Topic:
For me, brutal acceleration is something I associate with experiences on a completely different scale.
During my active time as a glider pilot, I made several hundred launches using winches.
Attached to approximately 1 kilometer of steel cable (6mm diameter) was an aircraft, weighing approximately 250 kilograms including the pilot. At the other end, an American-made V8 car engine with a 6.5-liter displacement and approximately 300 SAE horsepower was pulling, connected through an automatic transmission.
-> 0 - 100 km/h in approximately 3 seconds... compared to that, all TDIs in the world are like bolted-down sleeping pills.
