mk3 Ibiza Cupra R Hybrid K04, Supercopa BAM engine, TSR Manifold. ** Breaking**

The vvt only retards timing on start up to reduce emmisions.. no performance gain atall

Oh sod that then, I prefer the smell of de-cat in the morning anyway

Cheers mate. Whats the car like with the hybrid?
Have you got any vids of yours anywhere?

Hi James, car goes really well with the hybrid, when just over 300bhp and some lost weight was rapid enough to hold its own with plenty of stuff. Has good power delivery and traction, and suits the Ibiza well, thats why I have stuck with it. I dont think you will be disapointed

Sorry not got any decent vids posted up.

True.. but there have been some developments in this area by recalibrating the VVT.

Greg, I'm looking into a wideband conversion in my RR so that may also be something to look into. I will resistor out the VVT but it may be something I add at a later date. Not sure if it's benefical enough to warrant buying another tensioner though.

Hi Joe, have you looked into JBS's / Custom Code VVT Attack - seems to claim that it can make a fair bit of difference to performance and driveability by playing with the VVT... may be just sales chat, but not looked in to it enough to comment - read various differing opinions online (as you do)

'The most noticeable aspects of the Custom-Code VVT Attack calibration is the increase in low down torque, this is uncharacteristically maintained though out the rev range'

Also with the VVT Attack Calibration you can see:

1. Improved thermal efficiency means your engine runs cooler and with less EGT this can result in prolonged engine and component life and improved fuel economy.

2. A Substantially smoother running engine both at idle and when on load.

3. The engine is now much more willing to rev , giving the feeling of a larger cubic capacity engine.

4. No flat spots or drop in torque, smooth power delivery all the way to the rev limit.

5. The improved exhaust cam calibration now allows the engine to expel the exhaust gasses much more efficiently, this give a much deeper and sportier sound to the exhaust note.

A VVT Attack car is easily identified buy the exhilarating exhaust note. Even with the standard exhaust.

Custom-Code VVT ATTACK software is available for the following 1.8T engine codes:

AUM, AUQ, BAM, ARY, BFU, BUR, BUP, AMK, BKU, BJZ, BBU and BLZ.

Sounds very interesting although I have my mapper and car's booked in now, I also have a standard tensioner so all pretty pointless for my set up. Good to know none the less Cheers.

Due to a new business venture and lack of use, its time to part with the Ibiza project.

I will be breaking, so pretty much all parts available plus other spare parts.

Advertised on a popular auction site, where parts will be listed if interested.

Would prefer to go to fellow SCN members

And another one bites the dust.

Good luck with the sales mate

 

[joehirth]

Wow, shame Greg

 

[GregP]

Ibiza been long gone now - was sold as a rolling shell minus the engine. The engine went as a complete unit into an ex BTCC Toledo.

Found some more pictures of the Ibiza before it went so thought would stick them here.

Do still regret selling it !

Looked a weapon mate I know it's a long shot but where did you get your carbon bonnet from??

 

[GregP]

Cheers mate. Carbon Fibre bonnet was from a company called Lite-Tuned - not sure if they are about anymore. It was from a group buy organised here on SCN years ago, someone got a mould done and I think there were about 10 made.
