Golf R slayer - Tuning our VXR with Superchips
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We installed a Superchips Bluefin remap to our recently acquired Insignia VXR. With a standard 0-60 time of 5.6 secs can we get this down to being quicker* than a Golf R?

I’m puzzled as to why you thought you’d get an accurate 0-60 time by yanking the wheel to the right at the beginning of the acceleration…I’ve never seen a 0-60 trial begin by coming out of a lay-by at 45 degrees 🤔

Absolutely love that, I need one, I have a blue insignia Vxr and love it but have always wanted some more low down pull! Great video

Theyre a rare sight on the road and for that reason I liked them when they came out.
What a legend! Please make more videos
Amazing results!!
I'm hopefully getting a VXR at the weekend all been well nice vi mate think i will get this map
Didn't think an Insignia VXR could hit 0-60 in under 5 seconds, pretty impressive

1 is 4 wheel drive. 2 it's a 2.8 V6 turbo producing 320bhp stock. 320bhp is nothing for this engine, people in the US and Sweden and running 500bhp+ on a stock engine and still reliable.

I want one of these with one of them. Good looking car, great interior and plenty of power.
Looks good but a live rolling road remap would be better than just a mail order map in the post.

Indeed Steve. Genuinely surprised when it pulled the 4.8sec
How much is it and where can I buy a one from ??
Funnily enough I have a insignia diesel nothing amazing however it's remapped. At the same time they had one of the older vxr insignias and they were saying they had no idea what vauxhall did when originally mapping the boost and fueling. They advised anyone with a VXR should see them as stock wise it performed poorly.
Why did you start the 0-60 by turning right?
I have an Astra H VXR still on stock map, but Stage 2+ Hardware. Would this Bluefin Flash be compatible for the Z20LEH? Cheers
I hope the turbo link pipes are in good order, very common problem on all 2.8 v6 turbo lumps (Saab, Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, Buick). They crack and cause fueling issues (Over fueling), this can be determined from having very high long term fuel trims. Over £400 from Vauxhall, that's if they can get one.

What was the factory boost and the boost with the bluefin
@splashdetailing9011

It was a while ago now Jason. From what I remember it was 19psi with bluefin. And 12 standard? I may be wrong on the standard figure.
I like the results but im a bit sceptical about only software for this much horsepower, in Germany there is EDS doing software flashing via OBD and they only recommend 365 HP without replacing the intercooler and downpipe. I'd like to see the long term motor longevity. :) But, enjoy your VXR as I enjoy my OPC the sound of the motor alone is awesome... and even driving on the Nurburgring is a lot of fun. :) Cheers.

I’m not mistaken Dude! . My work colleague owns a Insignia VXR in charcoal and has had quite a bit of modification work done to this car. My R36 came factory with a time of 5.6 sec - 100 but I have also had my car modded with Evolve Technik. N/A cars can still pull hard.We went to a local race track and by the time I’m gone he is slowly catching up but by that time we are both doing a ridiculous speed. R36 weighs 1715 Kg, VXR Insignia weighs 1810 kg 🤷♂️.

@@SmokeMirrors-ys7pj I somehow find this hard to believe, but if you have tested I trust on it. However, the OPC with chip goes to 500 nm of torque so I think it will fly off real quick. As I said I has test driven few OPCs and they feel much quicker than my 3.2 Passat.

Was für ein riesen FAKE 🤣 Mit Wagner Ladeluftkühler, Downpipe, Sachs Performance Kupplung, Chiptuning auf 420 PS mit 600Nm und Drehzahlerhöhung auf 7000 RPM, schafft es der Sportstourer gerade so auf 6 Sekunden von 0-100 km/h. Die originale Leistung liegt beim Insignia OPC/VXR bei 325 PS und 435 Nm, begrenzt auf 6500 RPM. Die Limousine wird ohne Modifikation mit 6 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h angegeben und der Sports Tourer sogar mit 6.6 Sekunden. Es kann also kaum sein, dass die Limousine von 0-60 mp/h (96.56 km/h) in 4.8 Sekunden beschleunigt, wenn die Räder beim Start nicht einmal gerade stehen. So eine Möchtegern-Messung mit einem Smartphone ist auch ein Witz. 😂 Eine repräsentative Messung ist für mich erst mit einer Performance Box oder einem ähnlichen GPS messgerät wirklich aussagekräftig. Ein Fühlbarer Unterschied ist sicherlich mit Chiptuning alleine erziehlbar, aber sicherlich nicht über eine Sekunde schneller von 0-60 mp/h. 🤔
