My VW Golf R

[Psymon69]

Iv heard some of the guys are using R8 coil packs on their cars, have you considered that mod as well Porra?

Already done:rollsmile:

Yes apparently is sparks at a higher ohm?? 5ohm or something?

Yep porra already got some R8 parts in!
Check picture: (R8 coil packs - red)

Yes bud!

I have them fitted already. Produces more spark as the resistance is much greater. The stock ones are 3.3 ohms. However the stock ones fitted to the Golf Rs use a steel shaft and are 4.75 ohms. The R8 ones I'm using are 5.31 ohms. Big upgrade for the normal stock G6s. Not really for the Rs.

A better upgrade would be the Plasma jet Okada ignition coils rated at 6.2 ohms...

I don't understand.....
From physics:
V = I x R ..... Ohms law
Now
V is the voltage, which is 12v, or what ever is the input to the coil pack.
R is the resistance, which is what u changing, when you change the coil packs..
I is the current that is produced.
So,
If u increase R, the resistance (in ohms), and keep the voltage constant, the current must be less.
So by putting higher resistance coil packs, u decrease the current.
How can less current produce more spark?

Am i missing something ? Just asking?

Higher ohm coil packs draw more power to produce output as they have more resistance. That's why the ohms are increased in the first place bud...

More resistance will result in less current!
P =VxI
Power will be less.
From a physics point of view, it doesn't make sense.
I'm trying to understand it from a technical point of view, for it to make logical sense..that all... But the higher resistance coil packs don't make sense according to physics (as I've posted). Could be I've got it wrong... Can someone chip in and show me the error?

 

[kabal]

yup, I am also confused.

Alternator 14V
with 2ohm coils.

I = V/R
I = 14/2 = 7A
P = VI = 14V x 7A = 98.

with 4ohm coils
I = 14/4 = 3.5A
P = 14V x 3.5A = 49



from what I can find, they use these coils to run a bigger spark gap.

I should have paid attention in Physics classes :fencelook:

Some more updates... On Tuesday I was at Sportech to install a few more mods to the R...

Here is the progress!

Stripping of the front end to remove stock intercooler...

Stock intercooler vs my new APR intercooler!

My expensive APR intercooler!

Fitment of my intercooler...

My VWR subframe engine mounts were also installed...

An interesting mod... The Golf 6 suffers from a type of 'subframe shift' This can be heard (A clonking sound) when reversing out your driveway and engaging forward gears again to drive off. The copper washer/bushes installed by Sportech have removed this shifting and loose subframe issue!

The new APR 76mm Downpipe replacing my older ETuners one. This downpipe is also decatted but has no resonator and has no reducers. So it's a full 76mm right through! It sounds nasty!

With mileage sitting at 7600kms, I felt a good oil change is necessary!! I strongly believe in frequent oil changes and Sportech did this for me too...

Car is really unbelievably strong. Few other things planned for my cabby and will update as I go along!

:thumbs: I should do that subframe shift mod! I hear it all the time!!
Thanks Porra!!

You should put your car on the dyno again after the mods installed + tune! I would like to see that figures!!! :thumbs:

And my butt itches to do some modding as well! :bangdesk:

Thanks bud!

I have got an AEM WMI kit to be installed soon. And then I will have the fully loaded ECU feature from APR installed with map switching. There will be a reworked 95 and 98 octane program file. But switching to these programs it basically bumps up timing. The only thing is that you should have the required octane in the tank. So buying some NF will be a necessity! The 98 octane program should be fine with the WMI as I will run some logs and check for timing pull.

And then there will be a custom made 104 race file from APR USA for drag days. Will need some good stuff in the tank but she will be insane on the strip!

At current she is still on the 95 octane program.

i like the front mount chair mod :rollsmile:

awesome mods raise:

 

[FaSTandFurious]

You are the man. That car goes like stink

 

[SKYF]

wat power figures we looking at?
4 Wheel drive monster:blab:

 

[Porra46]

Thanks guys!! :ty:

Here is another video of what she sounds like now with the full APR RSC 3" TBE and decat with resonator delete...

 

[SP33DYV]

So when are you fitting a GT30 series turbo? :thinking:

Just checked out the youtube videos, car sounds fabulous!! Gotta love that DSG too!!
I love me some BMW but man I'd love a GTI/R......
