Tested on private land, slight up hill gradient. Does it in 7seconds dead… Could have done a quicker time with a better start on flatter land

High lift cam, with longer stroke on the cam, the inlet/exhaust valves stay open that little bit longer allowing more fuel/air mix in and exh gasses out. Timed properly this will give greater bhp thus more torque than any airfilter or exhaust could manage.
Nice!
I am picking my gti up this morning
I was also planning a decat and general air mods
I had an astra Vxr before and was running 280bhp and 320 torque the heat that produced in exhaust I would lose power if I decatted, instead I had a performance cat, but in a gti, like someone else mentioned a decat will only GAIN more performance
Top car the gti, and there cheap as chips these days! Handle very well too!
@urbex2007 I hear this bullshit argument about exhaust temperature so often… It may matter in a high performance high power engine, but in something small like a 106 GTI that produces about 120BHP it dosen’t matter, the temperature difference will be marginal, and while removing the cat may make the engine a bit less stable at low revs, it will always give higher top end power. You have a smart car as your Picture, stop talking.
@urbex2007 You are such a fucking tool , im guessing your a no it all 16 year old learning car mechanics in college
@urbex2007 If your so fucking clever, name me something I could have bought for less which would have given a bigger performance gain? Prick
@urbex2007 Listen smart arse. Firstly, I may have been relatively young when I owned this car but I certainly wasn’t foolish. I couldn’t give a shit how many holes the K&N airfilter had you fucking prick. My means for measurement were based on whether I felt an imporvement or not. And with the modifications listed, I spent under £100. So “spend lots of money”, I think not.
@reecemcf Removing a CAT will cool the exhaust system down and cold gases flow out slower than hot. Each part of a car has more than one function and by you removing bits you SLOW it down by your ignorance. I suggest you go and learn the basics of engines, then about filtration, gasflow and move on to a more advanced level. You will soon find NOISE means restriction and NOT power. All the bits you bought are designed for your “type”, the boyracer, young, foolish & ready to spend lots of money.
@reecemcf The K&N panel has a surface area 13 times smaller than the original paper element. So the holes have to be 13times bigger to pass the same amount of air as a paper filter. This means the K&N allows big bits of dirt and dust through to sandblast the engine. You claim it has better air flow, how have you measured that? You are a victim of sales teams as they know you don’t know anything about gasflow or engines. Taking off a CAT lowers the temp and slows the exhaust gases down.
@EasyMovieStudios a gti will be had to insure if ur young and costly
It’s doing it again, luring me in with it’s speed, looks and handling, and the fact that a cracker can be picked up for 1700 quid, but i know as soon as I buy one it’ll be a world of oil, pain and idling problems
6.809 sec not bad anyway
i need a gti box
Can’t wait to get my lisence and get mine on the road. got a new exhaust and backbox 2day (same as a subaru wrx) plenty of sound from it.
My Dads subaru goes 0-60 in 4 seconds but it takes alot of money to run the car XD. we are selling it now, my dad want a 106 rallye ¬¬.
The 106 is out of production now, we also have all of those cars you mentioned.
Just bought a w reg gti, cant wait to give it a blast xD, good vid aswel
It had a large diameter cold air feed from grill close to the floor that i sealed to the standard air filter box. Inside the filter box was a KnN panel airfilter (same shape and fit as standard airfiler but much better airflow) then fitted a decat pipe on the standard exhaust system to increase airflow without making a racket!
is your gti standard mate?
C@@L! PHAST AS PHUK!
in the us tehy ave. 406′s, 306′s, 206′s 307, 207 507, 405…..but not 106 or the 105.
maybe so? There isn’t any Peugeot 106 in the US, but There is a older model Peugeot that was in the US for a short time and they’re very rare. I haven’t seen one in a really long time. It’s a 4 door sedan with a weird grille. Peugeot isn’t popular in the US, it seems. I have a 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe and you can check the video of the acceleration from 40 to 70 mph because I couldn’t find a straight line to safely accelerate from 0 to 60 mph near my home.
Its about 5.6 secs to 50mph… maybe thats what you did first time round. Do you see many or any Peugeot 106 GTi’s in the US?
I just had to time it again and it was 6.7 seconds. I realized that the speedometer has a bit of delay when you accelerate brisky. It happens with my car also. When the camera starts shaking, that’s when I timed it.
I used some kind of stop watch application, I’m not sure if it’s really accurate. I might be a little off with reaction time, also.
What did you use to time it…? I wish it was 5.6sec, i think it more like 6.8 – 7 seconds
