Hello everyone!
The post about Geely Coolray Stage 1 was liked by many and sparked quite a few debates 🔥. The most important thing is that the car owner Ikram is satisfied with the result and enjoys the updated dynamics of the car on a daily basis. Today we will talk about Ikram's main car — Volkswagen Passat in the B8 body with a 1.8 Gen 3 engine and DQ200 transmission.
As we all know, this engine is installed on the Skoda Octavia 1.8 in the A7 body and is excellent for tuning and various modifications; you can check out our projects on our YouTube channel (link in the profile header) and blog posts! The cars are very similar in technical terms, but there is a significant difference between them — the Passat is considerably heavier than the Octavia due to its rich equipment — double glazing, additional full sound insulation; according to the owner, the car is about 300kg heavier!
Now about the modifications:
Turbo is20
Downpipe
Stage 3 tuning by Etuners + DSG tuning on the dyno
The modifications to the engine end here! Anticipating your question about the intake and intercooler, we answer in advance — they are also completely stock! The car underwent fine-tuning on our dyno for maximum results and coordinated operation of the engine and DSG across all ranges.
And how does the DSG DQ200 feel, you may ask? We answer — everything is great; we talked in more detail in the next post in our blog, the stock clutch reliably withstands up to 420-460Nm, Ikram installed a reinforced clutch that, according to the manufacturer, withstands 500+Nm. The season is coming, which means active tests on a closed track 👀.
In stock, the car produces power:
180hp
250Nm
After Stage 3 modifications and tuning on the dyno, we get:
320hp
495Nm
Now for the most interesting part:
The car was tuned by us at a mileage of 40,000 km, and now the mileage is over 250,000 km, and the engine feels great.
Owner's comment: Oil change every 7,000 km, the engine does not require topping up, timely maintenance.
The owner uses the updated power to the maximum, and below we attach the most interesting races, as well as power measurements (on the Dragy device on Instagram via the link below👇🏻)
