wat's up with the Neuspeed Pulley??

[audiblack]

the guys that had it installed, how did improve your car?? what are some reactions to this mod?

share with us, we are eager to know

[HyperM3]

Anyone?

[audiblack]

aiight we aint joking. i want answers and i want them now@!!

[A4 - Oh Snap]

lol. *shrug* You should call Neuspeed on Tuesday.

[S4audi_SD]

nuespeed will of course exagerate, someone on here should have some input

[audiblack]

were art thou?

[e36341hp]

I will have results on tuesday night--
Dyno tested on a dyno jet 248 c and I will make sure to run a baseline the same day right before the pulley swap for accuracy.

[audiblack]

THANK YOU GOD FOR ANSWERING MY CALL

[e36341hp]

Okay--
I ran the baseline dyno run but ran out of time switching out the pulley to do the next runs. (damm it was a b#%ch swapping the pulley after the car was heated up on the dyno)

Now the bad news---
some idiot did not secure his tools in the bed of his truck (I am assuming) and while I was switching lanes I hit a small flat tool box at approx 80 mph. There was a big noise and the car got slightly airborne on the passenger side.
So it looks like the piece was low enough to only scuff the bumper but one of the Oettinger wheels and one of the tires look like they are toasted and I need to check the belly of the car for damage. AAARGHHH!!! SOME PEOPLE!!

I am going to inspect the car today and determine whether or not it is safe to run the car on the dyno before replacing the wheel/tire combination.

If all is good I'll have dyno results with the pulley and we are also going to test VP Motorsport 103 (103 octane unleaded street legal fuel) on the car after the regular run with the new pulley installed.

Can't wait to see the results.

Any update?

[audiblack]

aiight guys im sick of waiting, i think im just gona buy it and try it myself...

[A4 - Oh Snap]

trash as far as I'm concerned...

[audiblack]

made the order from Greedspeed. let's see if this is good MOD for the B6. but im assumign it should be cuz Neuspeed products are more than reliable..

[audiblack]

You should see the dynojet numbers from the SK04 and compare them to the dynojet numbers of the E05!

Derrick,
Can you please post My and your Dynojet numbers.
After tuning with REVO by Dave@ecodetuning my car feels little bit faster than Derricks right now, but thats only cuz I have FMIC and he has dual SMIC.
Once he gets FMIC his car should be slightly faster.

D,

We should have run again after the FMIC was installed. To be honest, I don't think you picked up 50 HP from it. We are probably a lot closer now, but I may still have a slight edge. No worries though, we will work on your car and make sure you beat me!!

I think that my numbers are off, although of the Dynojet but not the same one.
This just proves inconsistancy even in between two Dynojet machines. Standard is MAHA and should be used when ever posibble and specially by the tuners when they make claims on their hardware/software upgrades.

[audiblack]

ok so im guessing no one had good results from this!!!

[A4 - Oh Snap]

audiblack, I thought you bought this thing for yourself. Did you install it yet?

[audiblack]

naw i changed my mind. im gona wait a bit and get some feedback. and plus im worried that if i order it i wont have anyone to install it for me up here in michigan. so im gona see what happens and wait alittle longer.

but not too long

[e36341hp]

Okay sorry for the lag factor--
I had to fix the damage to the car from hitting something on the freeway before I re-dynoed. (the tire was damaged and I did not feel comfortable running a 4th gear pass at 100 plus mph without the repairs done)

The temperature is much higher than when I did the baseline so I am trying to time it so I get on the dyno a bit later to make it fair.

I should have them done by end of this week for sure.

Not sure if I am feeling things but the car doeas seem to run slightly stronger down on the bottom end but it may just be mental.---Only the rollers of the dyno will tell for sure.

Again--Sorry for the lag factor

Thanks for doing this! It is people like you that make these forums a great place to gain knoweldge. Thanks again.

[audiblack]

yeah seriously thank you for the great effort to get us the info needed.

[e36341hp]

Thanks guys--
I think that is what this forum is all about--
This is the best place to learn the "real deal" on a product before you spend your hard earned dough on a piece of $*&%.

I am just repaying the favor that people like Saturnine etc. did for me when I first started. I got a bunch of help while building my car and want to show my appreciation to the site and the members.

I am going on the dyno on thursday night. (a bit later in the night to replicate the baseline dyno temperature so the results are accurate)

I will have the info posted up late thursday night or friday morning at the latest.

[Saturnine]

Thanks sir!!

I am just trying to pass along the help you gave me to another so it will go the full circle.

The dyno runs will be done tonight --
I'll post them as soon as I get a free moment.
If not tonight tomorrow morning for sure.

I am also anxious to see the results--I'll keep you guys posted

[audiblack]

Thank you very much kind sir for your effort. Much obliged.

Oh yeah i made the order of the Pulley today morning...hope the news you give us is good

[audiblack]

i just read this article in the last eurotuner magazine and they were talking about this product. gains are 100% about 4-5 horsepower...

there's also a sick blue A4 featured in the mag..way to represent

[e36341hp]

Okay--the car went on the dyno today and here are the results--

171.4hp and 202.6 torque----

At first glance I was a bit disapointed --the peak gains were only 1.4 hp and 2.6 torque

Then I compared the few runs before the pulley to the new runs with the pulley installed and the gains in the mid-range were much better

There was a high of like 10.6hp at 3600rpm between two of the graphs but I think that was slightly due to heat soak-- the rest of the graphs showed anywhere from 1.4 hp to 7.6hp at 3000rpm to 5800 rpm. average was 3-4

the power gains seemed to drop at the top end.

I also did a quick run on the dyno with some vp motorspor 103 (103 octane unleaded gas)
I siphoned the gas in the car while still strapped on the dyno and the drove through the gears for about 2 minutes (got impatient)
and then made a pass--
178.8 hp and 210.3 torque--but at like 30 plus $ for a 5 gallon drum that could become an expensive habit.

I think the car may have made more hp if the gas had been cycled through the system a bit longer cuz it felt great on the drive home with 5 gallons of 103 added to an almost empty tank.

[HyperM3]

Which begs the question...do you think this mod is worth it? For around $150, is 3-5 hp(whp?) a good deal? I read in your other post that it was a bit low because of your heavy wheels. Would colder weather out here on the East coast produce better results? Disregarding the higher octane fuel of course.

Thanks again for doing this and sharing your results with us. I am just disappointed that Neuspeed has again made claims that no one else can backup. They said 5 WHP across the power band. You only made 5 HP at one point in the band and even that wasn't consistent.

I don't know about the rest of you but I am getting tired of Neuspeed’s BS. In the real world their stuff just doesn't work, only on their magic dyno. I know that some people will bash me as a Neuspeed hater, but I am only pointing out what we have seen on Audizine. No personal input, just what others have posted and what I have seen with my own eyes.

[zemun2]

Derrick,
They claim "5 - 7 horsepower gain."
Guess they haven't learned anything from SK04 lesson.
Independent dyno, then you do 3 runs when the car is already warmed up and then you post gains from the average run (make sure to include dyno sheet on the site).
For some tuners this is just to much to ask for.

E36,
Thanks for your input, it's really appreciated.
