bhp = brake hp aka hp at the crank meaning no drivetrain loss

 

BHP Brake Hour Power * I think*

Also teh FWD 1.8T is 180HP the torque was a lot lower on the 00 and 01 180HP TT vs the 02+ 180hp TT
I'll look up the specs in a bit and post them

 

Here we go

00 and 01 180TT where as follows
1.8L 180 hp I4


Horsepower
180 @ 7600 RPM


Torque (lb-ft)
130 @ 6800 RPM


In 02+ the TT 180 got a big torque upgrade. Also the torque range is WAY different.

1.8L 180 hp I4


Horsepower
180 @ 5500 RPM


Torque (lb-ft)
173 @ 1950 RPM

Thats a big power range differance. The 00 and 01 180hpyou almost have to be redlined to get full power where the 02+ they leveled it way out look how low the torque starts in and even max HP.

225's haven't changed at all over the years.

 

how did they raise the torque?


with my chip ...I have TONS of it. I cant even imagine what its going to be like with the new clutch and intake.

 

there is no way there is only 130ftlbs in the 00-01 180s. you might wanna find a differnt site.

 

right site http://www.internetautoguide.com/car.../tt/index.html

 

I trust audiworld...





Horsepower (SAE Net):
180 @ 5500 RPM

Torque:
173 ft. lbs.@ 1950-4700 RPM

Thats for the 2000 180 model.

plus it says 130 @ 6800rpms i bet theres not even that much torque past 6k let alone 6800

 

Do not forget the basic rule, torque and HP cross at 5250 rpm's and swap places...

Just pointles babble on my part as I cannot sleep LOL

 

stock compression is at 9.5, is it really worth it to go with a larger turbo?
