Hi,

My first post here (but not the last)

I found this strange info when playing around in the menys.

Just got the car so there is mutch to learn...

is it already tuned or what? and no its not a song, I can get it up when I want it to any songs I guess they hided it for service personell.

Wow thats probably right!

But why do the car meny show youtube plays?

No more porn surfs that would be not cool if my boss sees it ?

What a relief, the car is fast but 233 naa that would be dissapointing.

Is it true that the GTD stock has around 200 hp thats what the car feels more like?

Maybe this is wrong thread but is dtuk a good company? They are terrible slow in answer questions and they dont read just say something remotely related to the question.

Im planning to tune my GTD but i had so many problems with tuners before that dtuk gives me bad wibes. They have best Numbers but maybe 220hp and 470nm from a local tuner with very good rep. Is smarter?

What have you guys Done? This is also My daily driver so i maybe dont need to have highest Numbers and that last second. But again you always want more, always ?

What top speed is to be expected with std tune? Got just 240 km/h on speedo whitch probably is just 230 as stated. Havent had time to install My performance Software and now its on winter tires so....

Very very unlikely.

A key part of the risk calculations done by insurance companies is on the cars performance. There maybe a few percent fluctuation around the stated capacity as each engine will perform slightly different but never another 10 - 15hp.

That said, VW are already in deep shit for selling cars that do not perform to the stated environmental figures so who knows.

You are prob. right but comming from many fast previous cars my butt dyno have a hard time believe that this little rocket only has 184hp, the hysterical DSG in sports mode maybe fools me little.

A friend that has a tuned BMW 330D test drove it and he said it felt like it could have keeped up fairly with his car when it was stock (231hp). Now I cant touch him. 280hp 600nm but my Alpina takes care of that =)

For what it's worth, I got a Dyno readout when my car was mapped and as standard it had 182bhp.

Now it's has a few mods and is pushing about 235-240bhp / 500nm. Every time I've come across a 330 it's close but I've got the edge, but a standard GTD? The BM wins easily.

OK

I must dyno my car and see if previous owner has done anything with it for it feels too fast for the numbers.

What have you done to meet your numbers? if it goes like it does in only 182ish bhp it must be a beast in 240/500. you should not have any problems with a stock E90 330D (231hp). when you dyno it was it rototest (hub nav) or on mustang dyno (rolling road)? guessing you mean engine bhp and not whp?

It's had a custom remap on a rolling road by Ecotech Performance. They gave me a Dyno readout which showed 230bhp (on standard diesel), but since then I've fitted a Jetex air filter and Milltek exhaust, which would probably bring it up to around 235bhp, and running on Shell VPower it's definitely quicker against the stopwatch, so I'm guessing it's giving 240bhp or thereabouts in the right conditions.

With regards to the 330D, the latest version actually has 254bhp, although it's heavier, but still it's a close run thing. I haven't come across an E90 330 yet but I'd expect it to be slower.
