mk6 2.5l bolt ons with wot box

[Outie5000]

Since when did they reduce horsepower from 170 on the stock 2.5 Golf? Also I'd like to see a picture of the engine bay. Something smells like

That's crank HP, it puts out 145-155 at the wheels.

Ah

[timmiller05]

strange how my friends 2.5 only puts down 180whp with a ej manifold and header.

OP doesn't realize that I have a bolt-on Golf as well, and there is no way in hell that it is ~200whp...

Went to ap tuning yesterday and got dynod. Good guys over there, they took a lot of time on there day off to get the tune perfect, thanks to Jeff too
Thought I would share for a reference point.

203whp and 176 wtq (corrected)
Mods
United Motorsports sri tune
C2 sri
Obx long tube header (euro jet copy)
Custom 2.5" exhaust w/ high flow cat
Aluminum flywheel
Underdrive crank pulley
Neuspeed short ram intake
Didn't get a chart printed, but I'm sure Tom at ap tuning could post one if nessecary
Pics for clicks

Taken from another thread. Thats just one of many others that have broke 200whp. Im not sticking up for OP, sorry but you dug yourself a hole. But once OP actually gets a tune he will be telling the truth

[timmiller05]

Heres another 2.5 making 200whp+

"2.5 Rabbit Road Race car with C2 NA SRI software, short runner intake, headers, and full exhaust. Car was previously tuned by C2Motorsports, and now with the addition of the short runner, we retuned the car. Results: ~204whp naturally aspirated power"

lol your right your not running 15s..... your running 16s.



stock GTI's are running mid 14s

Manual golf 2.5 should be mid to upper 15's at around 87-89 stock. Car and driver ran a 15.6 @90
http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...en-golf-page-3. A rabbit ran a 15.1 @ at 91 with intake/exhaust. On a positive note about the 2.5 it is one of vw's most reliable and provides a sound that is extremely unique and just damn sexy sounding. The torque curve is also incredible for a small na engine. I had a mk6 gti owner comment how his car will never sound nearly as good as mine lol and his jaw dropped when he heard it. And yes a na 2.5 will never be fast but with a turbo and just 9psi its good for 250whp. JUST 9psi.

i'm bored of everyone hating and being rude so from now on i'm only replying to the positive posts:-)

I'm just interested to see more details.

[jaja123]

Dude are you serious? I was on your side at first, but now your just plain dumb. Your modded 2.5 beat GTI's? Maybe a stock previous to 2002 1.8t I would give you but nothing else.

No, 2.5 with sri (intake manifold) is good for 200whp. If you look over the 2.5 forums these do pull on stock gti's. But 600 bucks in a gti and its gone again.

[DCroney2.5]

i would like to thank all you guys for posting stuff proving my point. no its not a land rocket but i do plan on going to the track during weekends to try and improve my driving and a whopping $200 wotbox is helping time. therefore i spent my money on it and i put it on my car so get over yourselfs

sorry theres so many haters Derek. Im not a fan of the wot box but your free to do what you want to your car. This is why I mostly keep my posts to the 2.5 engine section. I post here at the mk6 section for just general things about the mk6 like rims, body parts, interior and all that stuff but when you mention about mods on a 2.5 people hate and most are gti owners.

[DCroney2.5]

heres the c2 sri

[jaja123]

a wotbox on a 2.5, modding at golf unless its a tdi.....


there is a lot wrong with that picture.

chipped tdi's are not anything special with a tune. They run 16's. chipped you will do 15's.

[DCroney2.5]

ill do that next time. it was my first post so i wasn't sure where to put it other than mk6. i really like it for the fact that it specifically says less wear on the transmission. i've been driving stick shifts for 5 years but i've been having trouble with this one. i havn't missed a single shift all week and i've raced it a few times to and from work. and people can call me a ricer but i like the backfire sound of the 2 step.

[jaja123]

heres the c2 sri

thats nice. Once you get a tune she will go. Saw a vid of a rabbit and it ran 0-60 in 6 seconds FLAT.

[jaja123]

whoever wants to hear some sexy 2.5 action.
First two are na



c2 turbo at 9-10psi



2.5 motor out of a rabbit then built and turbo and swapped into an mk3 with AWD

[DCroney2.5]

the intake doesn't really take effect until 5k vs the stock powerband of around 4. once the rpm is raised that alone will help big time. i'm waiting til someone close to me can do it. don't really have the time to drive to pensylvania or kentucky or where ever c2 or um are. i may do it at sowo if theres a stand doing the mk6s

[Aonarch]

OP needs a tune.

Odd the thread turned this direction.

[MK6GTI]

All of those posted have full exhausts (Test pipe) and most importantly a tune.

Doesn't the OBX header have cat delete?

it's not "rims". it's not "chipped".

Im not sure about the jetta but the rest are full exhaust. My golf used to sound a bit similar to the first jetta vid until I got a usp catted pipe.

yeah a 15.6 with a professional driver. A chubby teenager in the "mini-mobile" will probably never make out of the 17's

ehh 17's if your driving a manual for the first time maybe. Theres a 1/4 mile thread for the 2.5L and I have not seen one run that was in the 17's and there is like over 20 people on this list some first timers on a track. Most were mid to upper 15's some low 16's.

[DCroney2.5]

not chubby and not a teen

[lowerthanzimmy]

i know what a WOTbox is, i have one..... but it really does nothing for you.

[gtipwnz]

On a serious note though:

[SEE YA]

Saw your car at Steve Whites's. Heard your on your second transmission........
