Phillc's Mk1 Cupra...

[Phillc]

Was just looking at you picture of your intake manifold, it looked like the injector seats were dirty like mine. This was from leaking petrol/boost pressure past the injector o rings.
.

I will get the rings anyway i wont hurt, could this also be causeing my pressure loss fault code.

 

[Willie]

I don't think so because there isn't anything to read the pressure after the MAP sensor.
Also pressure loss would be minimal
But wouldn't hurt for sure.
Can you get a close up picture of these to be sure

 

[Phillc]

Yeah when i pick the car up from the garage.

how did you get the map sensor loom to the n/s of the vehicle?? i'm looking at doing this but without the manifold change

actually i think i'm being a tard... i wont need to move it on that arrangement??

never the less i'd be interested to know anyways

Where idid you get the cooler from and how did the jb weld go if you used it in the end??

 

[Phillc]

Cant remember to be honest, easiest way is to solder in an extension piece, the manifold swap is dead easy.

Had a few people comment on your car at work when you popped those bushes round the other day
Should have some wishbones myself in the next few days so i can do both sets at the same time
Those OE bushes feel much better too

Excuse my ignorance,but in list of mods it mentions:-
SAI removed ?
N429 removed ?
Evap system removed ?

What are these?

 

[james walker]

have a search for all these, wealth of info on here

 

[Phillc]

As James said do a search for each one, and its all explained.

 

[Phillc]

I have fitted a new Catch tank, i wanted one with two inputs to get rid of the "T" piece and the correct size so i had one custom made it also has a baffle in front of the exit to filter out any oil vapours i am very happy with it, just need to sort some new hose clips out and spray it black.

Thanks Willie, coming from you that’s a real complement.

Indeed and you done a fantastic job of it so far.

I just wished there was more products out there for deisels, nearly everything has to be custom made. If you want things done properly it takes time and money.
