Hey Paolo

Mods are Giac, AWE Turbo back, HPA Coilovers and H&R sways. Apart from the chip the brake upgrade gave me the biggest smile....

[nath_mk6]

Good to see the rides Kevin, and as if your resting on your mods.....

[bigwill]

excellent ride kevin. very tasteful mods.

[Frenchie]

Sexy GTI Kevin !! How mean is that Ducatti !!

I can see you have a talent for photos and mods ;)

Great to have you on the forum..

[Cam]

Haha. I agree with Nath. I know you did a few more "comfort" mods as of last week.

[Frenchie]

Please do share >D

[AP]

looks HOT Kevin... Sweet GTI:cool:

[Justin Fox]

Nice car and solid mods.

PS. Modding bikes? Now that rocks out! Those monsters are so hot in white. How amazing was the transformation in sound when you whacked on those mufflers huh?!

Thanks Cam.

[Rev 555]

Okay okay so I didn't stop there but no real thanks to you! I added a RNS510 unit last week and just ordered a HPFP...

These bikes are built to be modded. You should see the Ducati Performance parts list. Its like a Christmas catalogue. I will bring the bike next GTG :-)

[Pharkus]

Love those wheels, they do look sexy! Any poke at all? What width tyre are you running?

[10d]

Okay okay so I didn't stop there but no real thanks to you! I added a RNS510 unit last week and just ordered a HPFP...

LOL! Man, I will pass the blame!

Hot looking car mate :D

[Tinto]

OEM BBK love.

[zz2]

Kev your GTI looks awesome! but i need more info on the monster :D

[Rev 555]

Nice one Kevin. I hope you're not going to blame me for your HPFP mod! =) That with some new software and you should be pulling even harder.

Definitely all your fault. :-)

[Rev 555]

Kev your GTI looks awesome! but i need more info on the monster :D

Thanks mate. Model is the Ducati 696. Mods includes new ECU to accommodate the new Termi Carbon Fibre Race Exhaust system and revised air filter. Carbon fibre to front and rear fenders, exhaust cowls and fender eliminator.

[RobR32]

Hey Kev your car looks GREAT!
Were you on the full day golfmkv GTG on the 21st of November?

[nath_mk6]

Yep Kev was there and on the last one you organised if only for the half day with me and Tendy

[RobR32]

ok sweet
did he have the brake done on the full day cruise? or did that just happen recently?

[nath_mk6]

Lol answering for him. The break kit was a recent addition which made their debut at the half day drive, hence the madness that he was pulling off in the wet :)

Hey mate, was very impressed by your car today. What tune are you running?

[Paolo]

Hey mate, was very impressed by your car today. What tune are you running?

GIAC yo

[Rev 555]

Hey mate, was very impressed by your car today. What tune are you running?

Thanks! I am running a Stage 2 GIAC tune take takes into account the bigger CAI and TB exhaust. To keep things cool I have an S3 intercooler with Neuspeed Intercooler and Discharge pipes for better throtle response.

Still thinking about a K04 but my set up still keeps me happy.

[Justin Fox]

Your car head heaps of squirt Kevin. Looked plenty powerful from behind in the twisties. :cool:

[Frenchie]

Both Tendy and Kev left me for dust ! My R is overweight.

[G-rig]

This car already looked great, even better now nice job!

[nath_mk6]

Cars looking great, question is how much did you buy and not get second hand! lol

Thanks for the compliments guys! Was a bit apprehensive about 'over' doing it but happy with outcome.

Curb rash gone Nath! Amazing job but pricey...

I picked up the rear spoiler from Suga as you know and the rest from Ian. I have benn accumulating parts for a few months now....

and I still have a few bits to go on still :-)

[nath_mk6]

good to hear about the wheels, nasty stuff

more bits hey, sounds like another reveal will be needed :)

have to catch up for coffee and have a look at her sometime, you coming to Frenchies torture session in the AM tomorrow (before your wakeup time I guess slacker!!!)

[chewy7]

That looks awesome dude! Colour coding BMP does make a huge difference! Looks mint!

Bwahahaha.

See what I mean!

[nath_mk6]

Hahaha yes he is a bad influence, a disease spreader!! >D

[10d]

I don't think it's a disease.

More like an addiction.

Dub addiction! :) Haha. (Tim, free plug here)

[en.elle]

I didn't think colour coding a black GTI would do much but it looks great! Those CF bits and pieces add a nice touch too :)

[nath_mk6]

I don't think it's a disease.

Dub addiction! :) Haha. (Tim, free plug here)

It is an addiction yes, however it spreads like a disease ;)

[10d]

It is an addiction yes, however it spreads like a disease ;)
Yeah, umm. You only got yourself to blame :) weak!

Use to blame a good friend for my mods. In the end, you just have to embrace it :)

[nath_mk6]

>D

[Frenchie]

Looking good K.

[AP]

Modding makes it look better and go faster!! Oh yeah..

[Rev 555]

Thought it was about time I got my camera out to attempt a few decent shots of the car!

[Big Yellow]

Wow looks sick mate!

Do you rub at the front?

[Rev 555]

Wow looks sick mate!

Do you rub at the front?

The front guards are now rolled so no more rubbing 99% of the time. Only rubs on really tight corners or travelling at low speeds and hitting a deep dip with two on board.

[Tim]

Looks tough!

[Cam]

Sexy GTI
>D

Great shots Kev!

[10d]

Hey Kev, NEX 5? :)
You exhaust tips looked a lot better with the rear valance, bud!

[nath_mk6]

Fixed your plate for you Kev.

Installed my PIVOT Muliti Gauge today. Its easy to install as it runs off the diagnostic port and isplays boost, oil and water temps the latter two more cosmetic than useful.

[G-rig]

That's hot.

Haven't really seen any good MK6 boost gague holders yet.

Ps. The plastic on the MK6 dials seems to scratch a lot easier than MK5, they must have gone a bit cheap.

[Paolo]

kevin you've been a busy beaver, is the k04 still on the cards?

[burgs]

Car looks great mate, cant wait to see it at the next meet :)

Thansk buddy you have been very complimentary of my new mods over the weekend, I appreciate it.


kevin you've been a busy beaver, is the k04 still on the cards?
Yes I have been hibernating from the forum from fear an eraly divorce but been accumulating parts instead :-)

....K04 is still on the agenda. Just waiting for Lucas to hurry up with the HPFP map.

[nath_mk6]

early divorse, lol, you havent even mograted from the girlfriend title to the fiance title for her!! :)

[10d]

Nice gauge!

See? Not difficult to install, right?

I really feel your fear too, buddy.

I'm in the hot water too because of it :)

[Rev 555]

Those are good, i got a set of dash removal tools from ebay for ~$9 (can pass on the seller if anyone is interested).

[stevie]

Love your car man, but your bike takes the cake :)

[Justin Fox]

How does the multi gauge work Kevin?! Set once and forget or can it display different functions by pressing a button or something?

[M4RK0]

Oh! looks great Kev,

[Rev 555]

How does the multi gauge work Kevin?! Set once and forget or can it display different functions by pressing a button or something?

You just need to press the mode button on the right hand side to switch which reading you want. You cant see all three at the same time. I just leave it on the boost setting. :-)

[stephen8512]

nice!!!!
hey kev, the OSIR pod you installed, how easy/hard was it to pry out the A/C vent?

[Justin Fox]

Thought so, cheers Kev. I like it!

[Rev 555]

nice!!!!
hey kev, the OSIR pod you installed, how easy/hard was it to pry out the A/C vent?

Easy when you have the right tool as posted a few posts back. I didn't realise it was one piece it was like pulling out a wisdom teeth!

Kevin took me in a spin and goes very well! the k03 is such an awesome daily driver for city commuting and as 10d describes it is "zippy" but i think i tempted him into k04 territory =p

[nath_mk6]

more mods for Kev, haha, one day you'll stop, one day......

Autotech High Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade

After waiting for approximately 3 months my GIAC software for a HPFP (K03) arrived from the US. There was no HPFP GIAC map previous to this in Australia. Only US cars had the flash or you incorporated with a K04 Extreme tune upgrade/Pirelli. Thanks Lucas for persisting and chasing it for me! I think I am the first with this GIAC tune so fingers crossed!

So it was off the see Arthur at Exoticars early in the morning. As always his workshop is full of exotics..

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4649647522_a36d9e805b_b.jpg

After the reading the instructions and lack of mechanical aptitude I thought it best for a professional to do the install.

Once you remove the engine cover the Fuel pump is easily accessible.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3150/4648874407_29e2e1c640_b.jpg

Once the fuel pump is removed it is time to remove the OEM Piston and return spring

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4649492948_94283a219c_b.jpg

New Autotech HPFP. Doesn't look like much and an expensive little sucker. It also came with a huge one page disclaimer on that headlined with 'Important Notice and preventative notice.."

"..Autotech cannot guarantee that your camshaft’s fuel pump lobe will not experience increased wear leading to a catastrophic
failure. All customers who choose to use Autotech’s high volume fuel pump must accept the additional risk of camshaft failure."

The new HPFP ready to be re installed

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4649493808_c0fddd1825_b.jpg

Inspection of the old Cam follower. You can see the signs of wear at the top of the follower.

'The new kit is designed to provide up to 50% greater fuel volume than the standard factory
fuel pump. In order to drive this additional fuel volume under the basic laws of physics it will take up to 50% proportionally more pressure to drive the pump. The pump is driven by a lobe on the factory intake camshaft which in turn drives the fuel pump piston through a follower. The pressure exerted on the cam lobe can be up to 50% greater than the standard application.'

I will need to inspect this fellow a bit more often now. You guys out there with tuned engines should check this regularly! Plenty of camshaft failures out there due to the failure of this little part that cost $80. I took no chances and replaced mine.

Initial Feedback

Car feels great although it will take another 100kms for the new tune to adjust. Feels more responsive and much better mid range that everyone told me to expect. Bum meter tells me that the car feels more powerful but this upgrade is not suppose to deliver extra killer wasps. Perhaps the other components installed working better? Need to get on a DYNO! I will report back on fuel consumption!

[nath_mk6]

exciting stuff there Kevin

[AP]

Looks good Kevin!!

[Cam]

Nice Kev!
I should get my cam follower checked now you mention it.

[Rev 555]

Just checking everything is working post tune...:-)

Hi Greg its in the horizon but not in a hurry to do it as I am quite happy with the car atm. I have a good platform though when I do get there.

INTERESTED! i just use the old cards from my wallet


I passed on the sellers email to Kev, doesn't appear to be selling them on ebay at the moment but could be similar ones or you could always email him.

[bwen]

I've spoken to other people who have a k03 with a HPFP and they say that the car feels 'torque-ier' eg. it seems to pull itself a bit better? Hopefull you'll notice the difference once it's fully run in

Always a pleasure to see your updates :D

Looking forward to seeing finish product Kev...Where are you doing the install ?

[Rev 555]

Time for some doof doof music!!
Oh yeah..

Not quite I think I have past that stage in life but you never know! I actually wanted to stop the rattling to begin with....:-)


Looking forward to seeing finish product Kev...Where are you doing the install ?
at FHRX Studios. Marty is a true proffessional and knows our cars inside out.....

[Rev 555]

The car does feel different cant quite put my finger on it yet. I am getting the car dynoed next week so it will be interesting what sort of curve it throws. One thing that is weird though is that I am actually getting better fuel economy which cant be right! I musn't be driving it hard enough. :-)

[G-rig]

Marty is pretty highly regarded.

I always recommend them if you live in Sydney (and lucky having Northfield Moorooka up here).

[AP]

Come on Kev, is it finished yet?

[MasterKevin]

updatessssssssss :D

[G-rig]

Get any more pics?

[Rev 555]

Phase 1 Sound System Build Complete

Got the car back late last night with front components installed, amps, Bit One and a temporary sub box. A lot of guys rave on about FHRX and now I know why. Marty knows his stuff and his attention to detail even surprised someone as pedantic as me. He actuall drove me nuts in the end with all the science involved. Its always a bit nerve wrecking seeing your car pulled apart from front to back with wires hanging out all over the place.

Well gone are the days where you could wire a pair of 6 x 9's and 6 band graphic equalizer in a few hours. Now I am showing my age :-) Here are some build photos sorry they are a bit boring as car is not finished.

New Fuse plate and holder. Check out the size of the new cables!

I know! Just added more weight so now need more power! :-)

Haha I wasn't going to mention the weight bit hehe.

Don't worry Kev, Golf's aren't light cars anyway so you should enjoy the whole package. Mind you good excuse for adding more power :D.

Not much weight to worry about anyway and doubt you'd notice it.

Thanks John. Yes the Dynaudios were from Greg. I actually prefer buying second hand from forum members - we are all enthusiasts and tend to be more particular!


Haha I wasn't going to mention the weight bit hehe.

[r207]

Ah it was your golf that needed the coding. Fhrx is the best

[saad]

Awesome work on the stereo - should sound awesome! In regards to weight, dynamat doesnt actually weigh that much, unless you do the WHOLE car!

Amps can weigh a fair bit (my 2 JLs weigh a ton, but thats why I'm jsut getting a single 5 channel class D), but you wont really notice much of a difference at all

Edit: Actually my amps only weight 10kgs - which is not much at all. Add maybe half a kilo for the MDF they sit on, and 3kgs (if that) of dynamat! The HD900/5 only weighs 4-5kgs :)

[Rev 555]

I love their work. So clean. Such great and funny guys too. Looks great Kev. Look forward to hearing it one day.

Thanks John. Was looking at your build as reference as I did not know what to do with the amps! I decided to keep the spare so they have to build a false floor. Have you got your front stage yet?

[G-rig]

I just weighed my Arc mini amps and come in pretty light at 1.5kg each (got two). I didn't get them for that reason though, but they are small and can put them anywhere (will both be going under the passenger seat).

I couldnt tell the difference when i temporarily removed the spare, the tools and the rear seat bottom besides loud road noise.

No need to get too carried away with dynamat, I didn't even have any beside a bit behind the midbass. Most people just go crazy with it, but it's mostly the foam (tac-mat) you need to stop rattles of where the trims are touching etc.

FHRX do seem to do things properly, great getting the photos too.

Dyno Result

As most of you are aware Justin, Tendy and I recently got our cars on the rollers to see what our cars were pushing out. I was curious as I have never had the car measured before. I recently had the car flashed with a new GIAC map incorporating a HPFP. Prior to this the car was flashed with GIAC's standard flash incorporating a CAI and TBE. I am a bit annoyed I didn't measure the car stock to see what my base power was and the gains I got. Just to clarify and to eliminate any confusion GAIC do not sell their products by way of Stages so I am not sure how you would compare this tune with other brands that go down the route. As far as Lucas is concerned it is the base GIAC tune with HPFP. A HPFP does not give additional power but improved midrange and to this I can concur. I now have a base to work on and I believe room for improvement.

I am a bit disappointed how power cannot be sustained post 5350rpm with the standard KO3 or Intake? It is to be expected though.

i think its because the K03 runs out puff in the higher rpms whilst the k04 and BT keeps pulling strong even past redline. I also thought that there was a seperate tune for the HPFP? What was your torque reading btw?

very nice results buddy :)

Hey Kev,

What did you use to attach the rear spolier?

I wasnt game enough Michael I got the panel shop to do it! Its quite fiddly as you need to apply a bit of pressure. However when I was contemplating it I was told to use a glue such as Sikaflex urethane - loads of it and masking tape or clamp to hold the sucker down fow a few hours.

Hmmm K04 incoming. I see the Forge Intake.!!

[Rev 555]

Been a bit quiet on the forum of late but have started on a new project this month starting with

Forge TWINtercooler

There has been much conjecture about this product in every forum you read and a bit of an overkill for a K03 particularly when you are also running an S3 intercooler. However having read hundreds of posts I decided to take the plunge and I can tell you that the biggest myth of additional lag is busted! There is no lag and the car pulls stronger mid range and fills more powerful according to the butt meter. I have a dyno appoinment to confirm this very soon and will report back. At the end of the day it serves as an efficient cooling unit for future track days.

Once again the install was done at Top One

Front end off and the unit in situ. It doesn't weigh that much and I was impressed with the welds and overall finish

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4751368601_939d3619a3_b.jpg

Its a nice snug fit. You can see here the S3 intercooler piping and turbo discharge pipe.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4752011620_9d02e68b1a_b.jpg

Sorry for taking this off topic, so taking it off doesn't have any real detriment and just makes the brake rotors stand out more?

Hey Kev,

Quick one with you twintercooler, did you find that the new horn bracket (on the drivers side) got in the way of the xenon washer jets.

That's what happened when we put mine in so we ended up using the bracket in the factory position and it all fit together... very tight squeeze for the 1.4!

Hey Paolo I didnt bother with the twin take custom fabrication the tune was too specific so will leave it for now as the car feels great. I had trouble with one of my injectors so had to replace it today. Been driving under 4000 RPM for the last two weeks due to chronic misfire in the fourth cylinder. Arthur suspected an injector failure and he was right. I am very happy and relieved at the same time.

I need to take 'test drive' it somewhere now and get it on the dyno in the next few weeks after it settles.

[Rev 555]

For those that know me I have been contemplating a K04 upgrade for quite some time now. After reading countless threads and talking to countless people I finally took the plunge. All up it has taken me about 6 months setting the car up with mods to accept the new puffer before inevitably taking the plunge several months ago and purchasing a K04 kit from the US.

Impatient as I am I was at the DYNO less than a week after I got the car going properly to see the result of the exercise.

The DYNO plots below show the different stages of my engine mods from the same DYNO.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5095858685_ed2c1e5586_b.jpg


Pre K04 my best result from my K03 was 159.2 which was a tad disappointing. I was anticipating a bit more. I had great power as you can see up to 4500 RPM or roughly 115km/h. It was quick but ran out of puff showing the limitations of the K03.

As I was already running a GIAC tune I decided to maximise the K04 by going for the ‘Extreme tune’ version of the K04 tune which was really developed for the Pirelli or ED30 in mind. This tune required a specific intake by VF engineering, HPFP, RS4 fuel pressure valve and S3 injectors.

The gains achieved post 4500 with a K04 shows why so many people go down this path. It just keeps pulling reaching peak power of 196kw at 5100 or 130km/h. I have a lost a bit of power in the lower range (around 15%) as to be expected but gained 25% above 4500 RPM.

This version of the tune is slightly ‘detuned’ as I am running stock internals. The Pirelli’s running this tune has achieved results close to 210kw! Mental! Still I am very pleased with the end result. The car is not as laggy as what I thought it would be and is really good around town.
It’s time to hit the track again to see what it can do properly.

A big thank you must go to Arthur from ‘Exoticars’ for being patient, accommodating and doing a great job. Lucas of course for supplying the tune, advice and taking my calls over the last six months.

Finally for those contemplating this upgrade – just do it!

[10d]

Keen to bring mine down to the same height on the front :)
