Cupramillo's MK3 Ibiza Cupra Gone, EVO 8 MR FQ320 CARBON ON!!

[cupramillo]

Thanks Tarzan, alot more money to be had, which means more toys for the car and maybe an Evo7 in time

 

[cupramillo]

Got a few bits in through the post today. Another member (Berg) had a nice polished chrome battery cover up for sale. Managed to get in there early and bought it for a good price. Should look nice in my dirty engine by and maybe spur me on to get a few other things polished up. Few pics of the cover, quality is not great, camera is on its last legs

Also bought a Forge UNOS Boost Controller direct from Forge. Will go on when the turbo and various other bits get fitted. As usual, it look like a very well made product. Shame Forge didnt give me the SCN forum member discount, will be emailing them about that.

Few pics

Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome

Battery cover does look very nice, may buy some sticky velcro patches or something similar to fix it to the battery. As for the MBC not sure how it should be fitted. Going to leave it a pro personally.

It's easy

plumb in
go out
log
turn
log
turn etc till the desired boost is reached (and fueling is checked as well amongst other blocks to log)

job done

 

[cupramillo]

Im sure its not hard, but i don't have VAG com to run logs. Will leave it to get fitted when it gets mapped later next month

Plus, life itself gets put on hold when Jack Bauer and 24 starts up again! Bloody love it! 4th episode in and is back to its best!

i guess you keep the n75 still plug in electrically aswell? all i need now is vag com lol

yes N75 is left plugged in electronically, and MBC plumbed in

there are many members on here.......who have vagcom....

 

[tommy2008cupra]

hmm i might get my freindly neighborhood revo garage to log and adjust mbc and have a before and after dyno to see the difference..

there prob wont be any increase in power (maybe a little) but its how the MBC holds the boost better than the N75, stops the surging, and boost comes in harder

it is a very primitive design in a way (just a tap) but does the job very well

 

[tommy2008cupra]

ye i didnt think i would get more out of ko3s lol just want a flatter torque and power curve

 

[Berg]

Just read through the thread, Going to be awesome when finished

Would have liked to have fitted the cover but im going gloss black with all my parts (and too woosy to move the fuse box lol)

 

[wilz]

Yor moving forard alot quicker than me,

was looking at that battery cover, but you bet me to it.

 

[cupramillo]

Sorry about the battery cover Wilz. Yeh pretty much there parts wise, if my budget can streatch a tad more i'd like to get some VT engine mounts and some front and rear ARB's then get the turbo and everything fitted!

Starting a new job in feb, two weeks intensive training so the car is going to be out onto the back burner till i settle down. Dont mind waiting abit more to get it done, not really in a rush.

 

[Danny_B]

I need some uprated engine mounts, where are you planning on buying them?

Congrats on getting the new job!
