Cip ABT Ini Meningkatkan Kuasa 1.5 TSI Kepada 190hp, 290Nm

Volkswagen Golf MK VIII dilihat berkeliaran di seluruh Malaysia dan itu mungkin bermaksud kita akhirnya akan melihat enjin VW Group baharu muncul di pasaran kita. Golf, Tiguan dan bahkan beberapa model seperti A3 dan Q3 dari Audi masih dikuasakan enjin 1.4 TSI yang lama, tetapi ada kemungkinan Golf baharu ini (dan mungkin dipasang secara tempatan) akan melancarkan 1.5 liter baharu dari VW Group. Dan sekiranya demikian, ABT baru memudahkan pengeluaran lebih banyak tenaga dari motor baharu itu tanpa pengubahsuaian besar.

Untuk 1.5 TSI, modul ABT Engine Control Power akan meningkatkan output kuasa sebanyak 27%, menjadikan angka enjin menjadi 190hp dan 290Nm (naik dari 150hp dan 250Nm). Modul ini juga tahan air dan habuk dengan standard IP67.

Walau bagaimanapun, anda mungkin perlu melintasi sempadan ke Singapura untuk mendapatkan modul anda, kerana pengimport ABT rasmi terdekat terletak di sana. Siapa tahu berapa lama sebelum sempadan itu dibuka balik nanti.

Yang mungkin juga bermaksud anda tidak akan dapat memanfaatkan tawaran harga awal €999. Mungkin gunakan masa lapang ini untuk mengumpul € 1,249 yang diperlukan untuk membeli satu.

Nowadays, even small and medium-sized engines meet the requirements for sovereign everyday travelling. A good example is the 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine, which is used by the Volkswagen Group for a wide range of models: Whether Audi A3, Golf VIII, Seat Leon or Skoda Kodiaq – to name but a few. It can be found in several small cars as well as in middle class or larger SUVs. However, sporty and ambitious drivers soon seek a little more power. A performance upgrade would be the solution, but is the cost adequately to the benefit? After all, a less powerful engine was originally chosen for cost reasons. From now on, the answer is a resounding “Yes!”. The world’s largest automotive aftermarket and performance parts specialist for Audi and VW is launching the newly developed ABT Engine Control (AEC) Power onto the market. The best part: The high-tech control unit is available for the first half of 2021 at an introductory price of only EUR 999. Thereafter, it will cost EUR 1,249.

The price-performance ratio is enormous: Compatible vehicles receive 27% more power. Instead of 150 HP (110 kW) and 250 Nm, 190 HP (140 kW) and 290 Nm are unleashed. Hands-on enthusiasts can of course install the high-tech control unit themselves. Thanks to the hermetic seal via a glued housing, waterproof plugs and a Gore-Tex membrane which prevents condensation inside the device, the product is optimally protected against all environmental influences (dust and waterproof according to IP67).

However, ABT Engine Control Power does not “squeeze” the last bit of performance out of the 1.5-litre TSI at any price. Rather, it is an obliging companion who places engine protection above all else. Intelligent performance release ensures that full power is only available when the engine is warm. The software, which is specially adapted to each product variant, also works with 3D mapping incorporating several sensors. And there is no need to worry about fuel consumption: The increased torque makes it easier to drive in a higher gear than usual, so your fuel bills can even be reduced.
