New Custom made toy for Ibiza Cupra

[Shock_Xe]

New Toy on Route from the USA for myself and Addo also believe Bill got one coming too, hoping to see improvement in performance and Bling factor Thanks to Don R at Elite Dubs for pics

should be soon, something different to usual mods and should compliment others, running out of other mods to do..... even had option of a larger throttle body but was told gains would be like 1 or 2 bhp and wont see any benefit unless 450-500bhp+ compared to cost of new tb (R32 one is like £300!!)

 

[acidstrato]

is that the dahlback one or another?

not expecting trouble with the bonnet closing as Bill has found before?

look class and really well put together

 

[wazo]

hope thats a prototype with that kind of welding........ that looks horrendous

 

[ibizacupra]

mines @ postoffice for collection, arrived whilst on holiday.
R32 throttle body on mine (75mm vs 59mm as std) and also largeport version.

Hoping for some more geegee's from it on my motor.

The pictures are actually of my mani too hence the big hole for the t'body.

cool, look forward to review

im not a welding expert so wouldn't know

more into how it performs rather than looks as bonnet is shut most of the time

 

[exsaxoboy!]

Nothing wrong with that welding, looks spot on. Lot more to a descent weld than how it looks anyway.

I think gains will be proportional to power output potential of the motor... all things being equal. small port vs largeport gains I would'nt expect to the same for example.

duty charge is high tho which I have to sort out for collection.

 

[Craig!]

Don't mind me asking how much where they?

 

[ibizacupra]

$589us.
plus shipping/duty/vat

As with any mods I already assumed anyway that gains are prorpotional to spec. I would be happy with no power gain but better response/driveability/increased power band etc

duty charge, yuck was hoping they may 'skip' that

looks OK to me, ally welding aint the easiest of things to do...

looks good i wonder if it would make any improvement on a k03s ibiza or would it only really make gains on big turbo engines that are already pushing the limits of the inlet manifold

 

[Shock_Xe]

I should imagine it would be an improvement on any level tuned car, just the size of the performance increase is proportiante to level of power being run as Bill said

 

[karl.w]

been looking at a new inlet manifold but to be honest im not sure if i really need it with the k03s turbo

would like to see someone with a k03s try it first then i will make my mine up

 

[Ant FR]

I've seen one identical to that fitted to an audi TT. The guy runs it in the Rallycross championship

 

[ibizacupra]

on a k0x car I would imagine next to no improvement in performance personally. not enough airflow to warrant losses in stock sizes I would'nt have thought.

just my 2 penneth.

got the R32 t'body gasket from dealer today and it looks like an elastic band ???? nothing like our paper gaskets on ours. Will have to make one I guess.

Looking good!!

But whats a Bollarama? (Have the spelt Bowl wrong? In the backround of the pics!!)

 

[Forbez]

Bill i thought you'd already had yours a while back, or is this, another one, (not the dalhback one, as i know that didnt fit.)

This is another one.
I had Dahlback a couple years ago, but it does'nt fit ibiza engine bay (hits bonnet) and wont port to largeport.

I am running a dual plenum manifold currently since Oct 05 on my 1900cc motor. Inspired by Dahlback but made in UK by Pro-Alloy to design by Elton @ Jabba, based on discussions we had on my Dahlback and the way to replicate an ibiza fitment version in largeport.

Moving on now, with the higher airflow I now have, I believe the dual plenum is undersized, so am trying the 007 mani from the US. (combined with 75mm throttle body)
