Seat Leon Cupra Widebody AWD Built Engine, Now Interior + Further tuning of engine !

[mYGeL]

Car is still at repair shop.
I will go there and start to take it apart later thsi week.


Besides that i'm waiting for my engine parts from Sorensen performance / IE ...
The rods is missing but maybe Sorensen has solved it
hopefully I will get my parts that is payed and should have been here for ages ago... :/


One good news is that i yesterday i recieved some new sparkplugs to test in my car when
everythings is ready

Denso Iridium power IK24



Thank you Denso!

I hope they will work good in my engine!.

have Anybody here tested these plugs?

 

[mYGeL]

Now we have tested the Denso IK24 spark plugs.
We tested a set on my friends car with same mods on the engine as i have..


We tested before and after changing on the same road and same time almost tested then drove back to change and then tested so the testing condions should be the same with both sets of plugs..

First with the old Bosch OEM plugs that was in the engine, then we changed
to the Denso IK24 Plugs.

Times logged with Racelogic Performance Box.


First intervall test 100-150 km/h
Bosch OEM plugs: time was ~4,2 sec.
Denso IK24 plugs: time was ~4,8 sec.

We also tested 80-120 km/h
Bosch OEM ~2,3 sec.
Denso IK24 ~2,8 sec.

We also logged the Lambda, Timing and Ignition and so..
With Vagcom and it shows that the Denso IK24 backed the Ignition almost all the way thrue the revs when doing pulls..

The bosch ones didnt and they are old and from when the engine was new??


A strange thing is that the engine felt like it was running smother and better both on idle and when pulling. Butt the Vagcom logs and Racelogic logs show different ??


Does someone know any good plugs that is tested and logged to be better then the OEM Bosch on the 2.0tfsi (BWJ) ?

Appreciate all the help or tips we can get..



We have tested earlier these ones.
NGK BKR7EIX, BKR8IEX, BKR6EIX and also some OEM NGK that was on the new engine when we changed it after the camfollower fail.

Also some NGK Racing/Vpower 7 and 8.
just can remember the number on them.

Also some bosch platinum and silver.

and it seems like the best plug is the OEM bosch ones??

 

[mYGeL]

hmmmm??

I must make a decision soon reg the color of the car.

It is at the paint shop now and if i add some money i might be able to change the color now.

What do you guys think?

keep as it has been,

Candywhite?

Or
Lamborghini pearl white?
Or
Scirocco Pearl green?
or
Koenigsegg Pearl white?


with black rims with the white brakes and the carbon as it is today.

 

[Dude]

Will anyone look at your car and say it’s been sprayed Lamborghini / Koenigsegg pearl white? Seems like allot of expense and time imo.

Black wheels and white callipers do look good.

Loving the build so far, keep up the good work

Thanks mate!!

 

[TeeJay]

[mYGeL]

I like the idea of green and black....

Me too Just worried that it will be to much?
And also i come to think about that all my hoses are red. wont it look strange with red hoses for the Forge IC or ?? hmm..

Trying to find the right colorcode for the Pearlgreen as available on the new scirocco.

 

[Dude]

The white callipers may look out of place, with green body work and black wheels.

 

[mYGeL]

Was all day working with the car taking it apart.. when i left for the day it standed without rims and rearspoiler and rear hatch. little to fix tommorow then take away the dorrs and start to preparing it for paint jobb..

 

[mYGeL]

hmm I hope not

really hope it wil be good. worst case is that the calipers need a repaint.
But dont want that if not really neccesary

 

[mYGeL]

Also about to order new rims.
I am loking at these 2 that comes from HRE http://www.hrewheels.com/

These 2 are the most interresting right now.

HRE Competition C90 3pc. http://www.hrewheels.com/c90/
With black centrum and lip painted in cars color or just black.
Also checking if possible doing the lip in Carbon.

Or to not risk that the brakes wont fit also these are interresting.

Also in black.

Both in 19x8 or 8,5

Also Good news today from Marc at Sorensen Performance !!

Will try to get some help to take out the engine this weekend or maybe next week so we can send it in for som weighing and balancing. also to mount the Quaife Diff and Southbend stage5 + Clutch kit.

I only booked in a guy to come and mount the Diff and Clutch.
But now that all the parts is arriving might aswell do everything at one time

 

[mYGeL]

Nice or bad?

 

[Dude]

Have you decided to go with the green then? – it will definitely be different for sure.

It’s all about personal taste when it comes to wheels, and what works for you.
Might we worth trying to photoshop some on before you buy. You could try the same with the green body shell.

This will be one of the most sorted Cupra’s on here once completed.

 

[CDNY18]

Love the car mate I'd be tempted to keep it White not too keen on the green but then again it is your car. Have you looked at the arctic White on the focus rs that's a nice White

I like to have it white. But still it has been white for 3 years now so want to change it.
Dont know yet if the green will be right but dont know before we have tested it
I hope it will turn upp good anyway.

Waiting on the final parts from Sorensen Performance before i can even start on the engine....

The parts have been sent 3 times now? first they lost one parcel and then it was returned to Sorensen. and after that it has been sent and then returned again.
Cant understand that sending some parts can cause so much problems.???




But i have anyway recived 4pc of RS4 Injectors

and a brand new APR TFSI Fuel pump.

The parts missing so i can continue is :
Quaife, Underdrive pulley, Clutch parts and Ferrea head and some other things..
