How should a 110 with a decent quality tuning box drive compared to a bog-standard 115? My dad's 115 feels much more gutsy off the mark than my 110. I know the pds are generally livlier, but would expect a 110 with a box to be pretty close? Am not sure mine is...

Any thoughts anyone??

Dodgy MAF?

I would expect a tuned 110 to be better than a std 115.

I suppose the 'seat of the pants' feeling comes from the torque - what's the comparison on figures?

 

[EddyH]

There are 2 versions of the 115 as follows:

115bhp/210lbft and 115bhp/230lbft

The 110 standard is:

110bhp/173lbft

Not sure what a tuning box gives but a remap gives:

143bhp/214lbft

The MAF is only a couple of months old. Was dreadful with the old one in! I seem to have to put my foot down a lot further in the 110. At higher revs the 115 probably doesn't pull much better.

Is the better initial surge of power just a characteristic of the 115pd and something that I have to accept?

 

[EddyH]

You potentially have less torque and I suspect what you do have may be higher in the revs. It's most probably a perception thing. A rolling road run would probably put your mind at rest.

With my remap on a 110 i got 155bhp and 262lbft, standard it was 114bhp and 178lbft. I think a remapped on even tuningbox 110 would be quicker then a standard 115.

 

[spg]

those power and torque figures sound rather high to me,

was that rolling road figures?

 

[g-master]

Yes thats rr figures, but who's to say there dead right? that's a different topic all together. A good custom remap should give you about 40bhp gain imo.

A 110 with a tuning box will definately be much more lively than a 115 in standard form. It will be most noticable further up the rev range than peak torque, the car will feel much more aggressive to drive.

I have a 115pd, how do i now which engine version is mine ??

Thanks for your comments so far everyone, much appreciated. I don't think my 110 is agressive to drive. Don't get me wrong, it's fairly lively but my dad's 115 always feels much more willing when I drive it. Maybe mine pulls slightly stronger above 2500rpm but I guess the increased fuelling of the tuning box would account for this.

I even tried out another 95k 110 when my dad was looking to buy and it felt as quick as mine (if not quicker) in totally standard form without a tuning box.

The 115 in 6sp guise had 210lbs/ft. The 130PD has 229lbs/ft.

My tuning box'd 110 was actually slower than a stock 115pd going through the gears.

The upsolute site shows the 2 versions of the 115 as detailed above, it also shows different tuned figures for both.

My Passat TDi 110 has 132bhp and 242ft/lb. Faster than a standard 130PD TDi Passat too as I have found! []

 

[johndow]

Horace, what have you done to the passat? Tuning box? air filter?

There were 2 versions of the 115 pd engine, 5 speed with lower torque and the 210lb/ft 6 speed. Same for the passat.

No other tuner lists a map for a 230lbs/ft 115pd. They also claim 315 lbs/ft from a remapped 150. Find that hard to believe.

g-master what re-map are you running?

 

[g-master]

CraigGSI- Jabba custom remap! []

 

[craigGSI]

any other mods as well as the re-map?
