PD150 Hybrid Spec

[JCKST1]

Im hopefully getting a Ibiza Tdi with Cupra Engine. Its been remapped, Hybrid turbo, cupra tdi engine, Milltek turbo back exhaut (de-cat), seat sport fmic, pd160 intake, green cotton filter panel, sachs dual mass performance clutch and a few other little things. Its runnging 225bhp and 350 torques!
Whats do people think the 0-60, top speed, mpg will be on a car like this?

Thanks

[Locke]

My guess.

0-60 - 6.5 seconds
Mpg - 46mpg on a combined cycle
Top Speed - 144mph

Ignoring lots of things, 0-60 in about 6.5, top speed of about 145-150. MPG depends totally on what the duty cycle is.

Locke: Touché.

[JCKST1]

Thanks for that. Im driving to spain in 3 weeks so will be doing a lot of motorway miles at approx 70-80mph. Hoping to get around 55mpg!
Not really bothered about 0-60 was just curious its more 30-70 il be doing when on motorways.
Thanks again

[JCKST1]

Also do you think it will be reliable?
Mileage is 60,000 on the engine, turbo. gearbox has just been reconditioned, clutch is only a few thousands miles old, just hand new ball joints and will be getting serviced when i get it?

The main thing is done, the clutch which is the weak link on remapped turbo's, thy dont cope well on these, usually down to the torque and the way it is delivered, overwhelming the clamping force of what is a fairly well used clutch.

[McSam]

Given the engine in question I'm guessing we're talking about 350lb.ft rather than Nm, but people should definitely start to realise that when there are two very different units that are commonly quoted, saying "torques" like Clarkson et al is almost totally useless..



That said, I love you two guys coming up with the same numbers straight away

[JCKST1]

Yeah its 350 lb.ft

[McSam]

That wasn't entirely against you, just something I've noticed and it gave me an excuse to post it!

Out of interest, what is the gearbox rated to?

Sorry just realised i put PD150 its actually a PD160 with the above spec. Performance will be similar. What sort of things should i look out for on these engines?

[uuf361]

How many miles has the car done to need a new clutch ?

55mpg I think might be a tad optimistic on a car that's been played with.

My PD150 Golf gets on average 53 but that is with a lot of 70mph motorway driving.....

[JCKST1]

Hopefully i can get 55, Im picking it up on Friday and its quite far away so il see what i get out of it on the way home.
The clutch was put in about 10,000 a go maybe less but its a Sachs dual mass clutch (390ft.lb) so should be ok for a while and it comes with a spare clutch..

Try not to do 30 on the motorway, it will be pretty dangerous.

What's a dual mass clutch?

I think he means duel mass flywheel.

I hope so anyway.

The Cupra's only map to about 190hp because the clutch is the limitation, you can pretty much get the Ibiza Fr 130's to this power with very little modification, I believe they share the same clutch.

I would be lead to believe, if the previous owner will have installed a Sachs clutch. These are actually cheaper than the Seat clutches and stronger. If he hasn't and its running 350lbs, the clutch would slip and judder even when its working fully as it cannot clamp that power. A friend of mine has his at around 300lbs and he gets clutch judder if he powers from low revs in a high gear, and as I say, his clutch is functioning as it should.

[JCKST1]

Thanks for that. Yeah the clutch and flywheel have been change (Sachs) which is good for 390ft.lb so whould be fine.
