Seat TDI Mod

Mark Guy · Mar 25, 2009

I see there is Seat TDI Mod on Nogrip. Has anyone tried this mod and how does it work?:worship:

Trebor901 · Mar 25, 2009

yep, the best one is the 2009 one, its good but i dont think they've managed to get the torque right, because its still not that much quicker than the petrol ones.

Mark Guy · Mar 25, 2009

So they are actually quicker?

Trebor901 · Mar 25, 2009

ever so slightly yes, but still not quick enough.

Mark Guy · Mar 25, 2009

do the AI ride away from there petrol counterparts?

Rhys Gardiner · Mar 26, 2009

No idea, but the mod itself is excellent. Not sure about the lack of time difference though - I took both the petrol and TDI versions out on the Top Gear Test Track, and I was about half a second faster in the TDI... :bulgy-eyes: Also, is first gear really meant to be that short??

Road in one @ Brands Hatch at Race Live last year, They do move pretty well.

Im yet to test this mod but we shall see.

Mark Guy · Mar 27, 2009

I'm gonna dl the mod tonight and see how it goes.

Hi. I actually didn´t like how the engine "feels"
It´s terrible! It takes a lot of time to get use to change gear at 3800rpms...
As someone said before me, i also don´t think that the torque is right, i mean this car has twice the torque of the petrol version.

here is the torque data in the 2009 mod

I have highlighted the max torques...

Günthar Rowe · Apr 2, 2009

that's about double... you need to use the torque and not the revs...

How can it be, that it says max torque is 500 @ 2000, then I look at the details and see the torque is 508 @ 2000, and then it goes even greater, max is 554.7 @ 2500?

Péter Bártfai · Apr 2, 2009

BTW real 2008 Seat Leon TDI produced 450Nm at 2500, 280bhp at 4000.
2009, torque same, power 262bhp at 3800.

Kris Leeten · Apr 2, 2009

TDI model: Max Nm= 500 @ 2000Rpm
In Rev-list I see at 2750 a gigantic 555Nm or is it still to early in the morning for me?
Anyone an idea on what the middle values stand for?

Günthar Rowe · Apr 3, 2009

here is the mods curves... If someone can find me the curves of the RL car, I'll make a new .eng file with the curve based on the 2500rpm 450Nm 262/280HP. but I need to know the basic shape to follow...
