The Magic Dragon - My K1

[Bow]

Hi all,

Seeing as I've had my K1 (and yes it is a genuine one) for 4 months now I thought it was probably time to start up a thread to share my mods and get next suggestions

So far I've added:
Milltek cat back non resonated exhaust
Forge blow off adaptor / spacer

Took her on the dyno and she ran at 288bhp - I'm guessing from this it's been remapped to a stage 1? Thoughts? I'm unsure but seeing as its 240 bhp standard there must be something accounting for the 48 extra horses!!

Made a new purchase today aswell:
ITG Induction kit

I'm am so excited for this to arrive - looks like I managed to order early enough to squeeze in next day delivery too! Got a different dyno session booked in for Tuesday, so will be interesting to see what that puts out...

A few pictures of her!!

Welcome any comments on mods so far and future mods

Thanks

Looks very good there mate. Stage 1 remap should see you at about 300BHP and depending on finances I would say go stage 2 or 2+. Stage 2 would be your ITG, DP and sports cat and either twintercooler or uprated intercooler (THS or S3) with a remap. Stage 2+ all those and the addition of the RS4 pressure valve and uprated HPFP and you should see around the 365BHP mark. Coillies are a good idea to get a better ride height.

Ok I think I need to explain I am a girl... please can you explain more slowly as you have just baffled me with geekness!!

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, my apologies. If you are after some serious power then stage 2+ is what you want. You will need an uprated intercooler, down pipe with sports catalyst (the pipe from the turbo down including the catylitic converter), you will already have the induction kit. Also add an uprated fuel pump as the stock one is no good and then it is recommended to change the fuel pressure valve (approx £30.00 part) for the RS4 valve. All this with a remap should give you about 365BHP. Alternatively, just go stage 2 to keep cost down a little which is all the above MINUS the RS4 valve and uprated fuel pump.

As a matter of interest, which rollers was your car on as the power does not suggest a stage 1 remap as that should see you at about 300BHP which it isn't.

Looks stunnin. I thought the miltek tail pipe was a lot bigger than the one in the pic.

Very nice i would love a sunroof in mine

It was on the rollers at Dynodaze....

It is - I took the pictures before I put in on... well spotted

 

[big eck]

I thought so.

Really want one of these but still don't know if another Evo is the way to go.

OK, never heard of them tbh but then again, I don't know much at all hahahahaha. Your car is looking spot on though Sarah. Keep the mods coming and I will be following your thread with interest.

So the latest mod has been added - my ITG induction kit. And all I have to say is:

OH MY GOD

The noise is immense!!! I love it

Taking it to Future Motorsports tonight to put in on the rollers, so we'll see if she comes out at more than 288bhp....

I've also decided what I'm doing next too - taking it to Carbon Skin and getting the roof wrapped in gloss black

 

[jc_boc]

Nice!! I have my ITG kit here but waiting on one bit before I can fit. Can't wait to hear the noise.

Nice choice in colour lol

 

[VRSLOZ]

Really like that, nice choice

 

[Bignod00]

Nice motor, not that I'm biased at all! Check my readers ride thread if you want to see what I did to mine, may get some ideas! I want a sunroof now.

 

[ALEXZ360]

very nice car

 

[Bow]

Well I took her on the dyno to see what difference the ITG had made...

My baby only decided to run at an amazing 320bhp! I'm so proud

Next stop, gloss roof - it won't make her any faster but will make her even prettier

Glad to hear that the ITG has made an improvement, were these figures achieved on the same rollers as the first? 288 - 320 bhp is a massive jump!

 

[jc_boc]

I have to agree with nod on that, impressive results but was it done on the same dyno?????

 

[Bow]

Nope different one... the latest one is supposed to be much more accurate than the last. I'm thinking from the results though there must have been a remap before I bought the car that wasn't declared...
