Damoegan's OLD Mk4 Ibiza Cupra, GTX3076r, forged engine reubuild

[ibizacupra84]

I'am the new owner of damoegan's old ibiza cupra and i thought i start my own thread i have just orderd

Neuspeed 1.8T 180 Degree Thermostat
Neuspeed 180 Degree 3 Pole Fan Switch
Neuspeed Connector Conversion Kit for 3 pole fan switch

just to keep it running a little cooler and hopefully in the next few months i be getting a Garrett Turbo GT2876R Turbocharger and a Equal Length Exhaust Manifold, i'am wanting 300bhp out of it so when i get the new turbo i think i should be seeing the 300bhp firgures

when you get enough posts get some pics up would be good to see new piccs of damiens old car.

 

[Damoegan]

That turbo will be good for 350bhp bud

Dont forget that you will have to at least do the rods = more money that you forst budgeted for....

Nice one mate, you'll have to give me a shot out in it when the turbo is done, see what's it's like. It's where I want to head with mine really!

Glad to see the car in good hands. Such a nice example of what a sorted / modded Cupra can be like. Damo will be pleased!

Nice car, looks like a great buy, i just bought Hartosh1's cupra, just wondering about the things you bought:
Neuspeed 1.8T 180 Degree Thermostat
Neuspeed 180 Degree 3 Pole Fan Switch
Neuspeed Connector Conversion Kit for 3 pole fan switch

could you explain why you are fitting these please?

Myself i have always put a cool running thermostate in on turbos car, it just keeps the engine running a little cooler and if you ever go on a track day it helps alot, just something i always done

I done know how far true this is but i was told that the standard internals are good for 350bhp ???

And why would you want your car to run cooler?

Ideally you want it at 90C (the water) and then if it's hotter it goes into the radiator (which is open all the time on track)

So once the car is warm, the thermostat is open. All you're doing it opening it earlier. Just seems pointless.

looks like there is a substantial ammount of oil residue around the dipstick.

 

[ibizacupra84]

that because i never put the dip stick in probably when i checked the oil , i need to clean it

But what is the other stuff for about the fan?

They just about are but it's torque that kills the rods!

You joined vagcars.co.uk yet mate?

it puts the fan on a few degrees earlyer thats all
