any 4.2L V8 wanna test with a japanese car? im not too sure if that 4.2L V8 can smoke the jap car though Imagine an Audi R8 and Vs a Jap Import, obviously the mods are extensive to the jap car to beat the Audi, but end of the day, its still cheaper than buying an Audi R8 i believe. Other things to note, how do we define speed? most cars can reach their top speed or probably clear meter, problem is, how fast to hit the top speed. The most important thing to note here is that everyone is trying to make the machine go fast and faster. How often does the braking topics come about? hahahahaha! Stay Safe All!

Haha...it's a never ending story. Whatever mod you do to your car..it's good. If not, nobody would have done it in the first place. The best thing to do is like what bro kelvin had done...go check it out yourself. If that's the feel you want..go for it. If not, then just have to look for other mod till you found it. New things keep popping up...there's no end to modding till you get tired and give up.

For me, it's about finding the ideal setup for myself. Something that I feel that this is the best I can get after trial and error with some other setups and gadgets.
For some, it's about changing setup to get a different feel to their ride. They wanna feel 'refreshed' with their new mod. For this group, there is no ending to their mods.

I am not trying to discourage any mods, most mod are psycological, u install, spend $ then convince yourself it is better. So what if installing some device can let u rev past 6 on our pica, pointless as it is not as if u rev at 6 at every traffic light, maybe in a blue blue mood will only, if u rev 6 everytime be prepared to pay for a 5 - 7km/l fc, petrol expensive, save the earth, make less emission. As for this epower thing, after reading almost 40 pages about it in MCF i think can forget about it already haha feel like scam like that, $700 buy 11pcs of rubber lol, i cant even convince myself to spend $450 at HM for qf reason being its a invisible purchase. I rephrase my words in my previous post, if u want to smoke every car, get a bugatti veron, jap import also no fight haha, only for those very ah sia kia.

I see. You are right in your wording. Not wrong because they are true anyway. It's just a different point of view.
By the way, QF is obtained through tuning at least 5 cars of the same make. It is a proven way to improve the driveability and power of a vehicle. This is demonstrated by the vast sale of ecu piggyback and direct ecu tuning companies.

Yup.. I understand what you mean. Alot of pple have the same thinking as you. QF is an invisible mod. Unlike piggyback, it is not a physical device strapped onto your ecu.
But with engines getting advanced nowadays, every mod that differs greatly from the stock intake will need the fuel map to be tuned specifically to it. It is not a must to do that, but it is meant to extract the best out of your setup.
To conclude it, it is the effectiveness that counts. The number of pple that has installed QF over the years also have the same mentality.
Cheers

Actually, the physical thing about QF is the ECU unit. If you purchase piggyback, you get the unit that is connected to the ecu too. Ultimately, it's not the piggyback that counts. It's the tuner who is the key thing here.

So.......... any conclusion here after 4 pages? In short, i won't spend $700 on e black rubbers. Performance wise, i doubt it's anywhere near my current set up. I rather spend my $$$ on latex rubbers!

To me, $700 can buy me a set of coaxial rear speakers, component speakers at the front, 8" active sub. Top up abit will get an amp too.. Full set of ICE, pure listening entertainment on the move..
However, it will still be the best to test drive the V1 that has epower system. That would be fair to the bro who is introducing the system.

its my V1 that has the epowersystem. was at Kallang the other day. i wondered why no one approached me to test drive.
anyway here r my opinions.
i would spend $700 to buy smtg that works. i'd rather pay $700 to enjoy my drive than spending smtg more on a turbo + $500 if i ever get caught by LTA. this thread is abt performance modifications so if $700 is too expensive for you, then i assume you wldnt be spending $80k on a 1.4 TSI VW Polo (which i also smoked the other day). like me, some bros here like performance mods. some like ICE. NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT YOU WANT.
my point is, i want to enjoy driving an aldy sucky stock ride with bad FC so spending some legal performance mods which cost $700 and can smoke many cars as bonus + getting better FC with the way I drive is no harm. i dont need an IS 250 V6, or a V10 R8. those cars are out the league for all our bros here. no point talking abt them. $700 can buy me alot of rubber to go Geylang, or buy many meals on dates with those hot Russians in Orchard Towers. $700 can definitely buy alot of things.
cheers.

Hi Trinity,
I've looked at the polo specs and find that there are 3 variations available. 1.4DSG, 1.2TSI and 1.4TSI. 1.2TSI is rated at 105bhp, 1.4TSI at 180bhp.
You mentioned you smoked the 1.4TSI, which is the TC version of the DSG model. I do not know alot about VW cars, just looked through the specs available.
Are you refering to the TSI or DSG model?
