KIP - the Orange Cupra '09

[nickydobreanu]

I don't know what happened to my initial topic, it seems like it vanished.

Please find below details about my project, it's still a work in prgress, however I am very happy with the current results.

Seat Leon Cupra 2009
Lumina Orange
2.0 TFSI, 240 BHP in the initial configuration

Upgrades:

Bilstein B16 Coilovers - setting 4, lowered at max
Eibach Anti Roll Kit - Stabilizer Bars
Forge Cold Air Intake
Forge BOV Spacer - which now seems to release boost (might quit using it soon)
KMD High Pressure Fuel Pump KIT
Denso IK22 Spark Plugs
Motul V Power Racing Oil - 5W40
Full Turbo-Back Exhaust by Milltek - non resonated version, special oval tail pipe
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s white alloys - 8Jx18", ET 45mm (8.700 kg each instead of the initial Orion alloys 12.000 kg each)
Revo Stage 2+ (actually running with Boost 6)
G Tech SS - for the shiftlight, mainly

Immediate Future Plans:

Audi S3 intercooler - waiting for it to arrive, hopefully allowing Boost 9 and better timing.

[Rocky Rocastle]

very nice, agree with the above, white wheels look top banana

 

[Al]

The white is nice with the orange. Headlight brows

You wont be getting 380bhp at the fly with those modifications by the way.

 

[SteveTDCi]

as above, loving the white wheels with the orange looks like a nice drop too

[jonjay]

That is really really nice. Also a really well thought out thread too.

The car looks great, drives like a thunder, not to mention the sound, which is fantastic Next time we meet you gotta give me ride in it, Nicky.

 

[Shaunyboy]

[Fl@pper]

if the original was in general off-topic it probably got brushed out with the spring clean but you'll be safe enough in here

i am so loving that Orange nice ride !

Thank you, all. Sorry for the late reply, I was a bit busy lately.

A video with the Dyno Run may be found HERE.

I've noticed that the runs were all in the 5th Gear, the car was going to 250 km/h. I will try to upload another video that focuses on the inside of the car. The outside temperature was quite low (around 5C), maybe this is why the power / torque values are higher than expected.
Revo indicate on their webpage a minimum of 360 BHP and 468 Nm for the above mods (Stage 2+).

I will come back after the intercooler installation, hopefully this week.

Happy tuning, guys!

Stage 2+ mods include the intercooler, and that dyno run will have have therefore been completed without being at "stage 2+" despite running stage 2+ software. That is the reason I questioned the 380bhp. There are a few MK2 Leons Cupras on here with Revo Stage 2+ code and all the parts to make it run to its potential, but none have made 380bhp. What was the wheel horsepower out of interest?

I also have a question about the light brows - dont they affect the range of the light output?
