Hey folks

As some of you are aware that i've been looking into buying a motor and was contemplating a tuned Focus ST or a new Focus RS.

However, i've decided to go for something different and a Golf GTi ED30 it shall be. But before i can make that final, i was wondering if there is anyone on here who has driven/know someone who has one?

All i know about the car is that the ED30 used a detuned Audi S3 Engine with a bigger turbo and a simple stage one remap will give 300bhp

Any feedback???

 

also been looking at these alot lately, very impressive performance when you start messing with them only thing i dont like about them are the seats :-(

 

shut up you retard i will make ya buy a ford........

 

only one i would have is yours and thats way out of my budget im only off the cross

 

nice cars pardeep...get some pics up if ya get 1 mate....

dan ill give ya Ł60 towards it..lol.

 

Would like one of these, but as my every day driver.

Would go for a grey 3door in manual though.

270Bhp is available via a remap I believe, zorst and cooler require for above and beyond...

 

A bit different? Its not really different for an asian lad lol as its common to drive german/jap if your asian

Get an ST/RS mate and piss the rest of the brownies off by slaughtering their dubs

Blue oval all the way

 

Rhys is your man to speak to.

Are they not the same engine as a normal GTi though?

The quality of the drive is a different class to an ST

 

They have a different turbo IIRC...

 

• Larger Turbo from S3 (K04) rather then the K03 on the GTI
• 87°C thermostat instead of 80°C
• Larger capacity fuel injectors (13% higher flow)
• Larger intercooler (smaller then the S3)
• Engine block main bearing caps, pedestals are reinforced
• Conrods have larger rod bolts and new bearings
• Pistons have 21mm gudgeon pins instead of 19mm
• Piston top ring is improved
• Recirculation Valve (blow off valve) not located on turbo

 

Stage 2 is awesome on one of these with a HPFP ( High Pressure Fuel Pump) Upgrade Turbo back and a P Flo Filter made your looking at over 320bhp

 

My bro had an EDN30 and i got a Normal GTI. The Edn 30 is nice motor and does have more grunt than standard GTI. Remaped they are supposed to hit 300bhp. Me and my bro both had trail maps done on our cars at same time and while his was quicker not mayorlly soo i dont think.

Very good motors, though one tip if getting one dont get a manual, get a DSG! Trust me much much better than manual. And truly set these cars apart from the other hot hatches.

Only reason i went for a GTi was that it has the DSG box and they are soo much more refined than any other hot hatch.

 

been looking at mrk 1 focus rs s but i think im going to get a mrk5 gti as i do like my mrk4 gti

 

Heres mine: https://passionford.com/forum/pictur...-non-ford.html

Got a new job, and i am thinking of selling for something diesel. But not sure yet.

 

Straight swap for my diesel golf, looks exactly the same bar the wheels... fair deal or what

 

My mate has an ED30. Was out in it on saturday in fact! His was 321bhp,340lb/ft but he has went back to a standard map at the moment as his clutch was slipping. It has a GIAC controller, S3 cooler, ITG filter, Miltek catback.

Its 280bhp now, quite quick on the straights, but the corners is a bit of a difference compared to my other mates S3.

Heres some pics of his ED30:

 

AMD essex are the ones to go for.

HPFP
intake
militek cat back
blue flame hi flow sports cat
Revo stage 2+ map you will see 360hp & 360 torque

 

Anybody know what you can do to an new Golf R then? My mate has got one coming this week, swapped his Mk6 Gti for it.

Think they are 270 as standard?
