Phillc's Mk1 Cupra...

[Phillc]

What gauges are they, Phill? Defi?

They are XLine gauges, i had to get them from the states as i couldn't find any in the UK, look at WWW.striracing.com i got them from subimods.wish i could afford Defi LOL

Hack that number plate recess off to get loads of air to the intercooler and oil cooler

I have plans for the front, which will involve that mesh you and Rob have used....watch this space.

You got a pic of them at night, Phil?

 

[Phillc]

I will sort you some out tonight.

The bumper will look good mate when you planning todo it.

 

[Phillc]

At the end of the month hopefully, I'm going to paint the cooler black fit the mesh as you have but will look at keeping the number plate bit there, not keen on the plate mounted at the side but will make my decition at the time, wont have it done for Inters but it will be done in time for Cpop. how long did the mesh take to come?

 

[Murdered LCR]

I think it was about 2 weeks mate I have made brackets up so I can screw and unscrew a front plate if I wanted to , it's still a small plate

Great looking car there phil, plenty of excellent work inside and outside too.

Thanks for sharing !

Well its all done, the old K03s is out and I have fitted the Hybrid GT2X and had it mapped at P - Torque, and its excellent, i cant stop smiling. The mapping went well but with the air temp at 26 degrees it was a bit warm as was the car, it got 280bhp and 285lb of torque. Will says it should be more like 285-290 bhp and 300-310lb, on the road. I could see the figures dropping as the car and air got hotter, the fan helps but its no where near real driving conditions, i am going back in October for the rolling road day so we shall see, im hoping it will be a bit cooler, the car pulls like a train boosting to 25psi and holding 20, not bad seeing as the engines done 114,000 miles.

 

[ibizacupra]

do you have a dyno plot to post, so spool can be seen?

 

[Phillc]

Yep.

 

[Willie]

At was sneeky, didn't see this one coming.
Sounds ace, is this Rob's Turbo?

 

[Phillc]

Yes mate it was, the oil seal had gone on the K03 so was looking to replace it and Robs hybrid came up, it would have been rude to have refused it.

 

[Willie]

Perfect.
With all the time and effort Rob put into his set up you should be able to get out of it what Rob did if you get the same kit.
Power hunt complete now?

 

[Phillc]

Yes, enough for the moment if i want any more i will need to sort out the rods, pistons and rings.

 

[jonjay]

[George 3G]

Nice Phill, what bhp was your car with the k03s?

 

[Phillc]

It was about 220-230 bhp, when i had it mapped it did 220bhp but i then added the exhaust, hi-flo mani and front mount so i expect i collected a few more bhp from them. (exhaust and mani)
