What is that Intercooler? Where did you source that?

It's oem SeatSport IC from Cupra Ibiza. I have couple friends working at "stealer" so they ordered that for me (I found the part number for it and they ordered that for me).

I'll try to upload some pics of installation if someone else also want to do this.

FMIC, SeatSport

So here's some pics of Seat Sport FMIC installation

Bumper off

Crash bar off and modifications

Old VS. New

Planning the pipes

Almost

Something extra:

And the DIY engine cover to hide Xenon lights ballasts

I'll add some pics later when I find my cameras cabel. If people are intrested

Did some logging with VCDS and result was quite OK with new IC

170,92g/s, even there is still some boost missing. Talked with guy how did the car and said peak boost is little bit low. Hits only 2140mBar

Something small + Multigauge project

*Continue monologue*

Replaced fog lamp H3s to LED and plate lamps also.

Also started to Arduino Uno R3 based multigauge project. Just orderd more parts for it from Ebay. Already I have Arduino Uno, boost sensor, 6 button LCD-shield (which I cannot use), and small proto shield.

New stuff what I ordered:
- Serial LCD 20x4
- Lots of jumper cabels for proto testing
- Sensor shield
- and couple Zener-diode + push buttons.

Planing what to do with Summer wheels (paint or not and if if painted is it neon green or orange). And should I paint winter wheels to white like Poliq did.

Parts arrived

Some parts arrived today. Better LCD + couple other small things are missing still.

After those arrives I can start to make code for multigauge and try to test how it works.

Arduino testing



*Continue monologue*

Still waiting rest of the parts that I could start truly to make multi gauge. Just tested what kind starting intro I could make for it.


there's short video clip of version 1.

And here's version 2, after figuring out what's wrong with the code. Didn't work with two lines first.

Old VS. New

Quite big difference!! Did You feel the difference between old and new?? When I bolted my bigger IC it was almost like different car.

Quite huge difference, pulling much stronger. Pity that I didn't have changes to test new IC at track but let's hope that it will help . Had some problems with way too high intake temp last summer at Botniaring.

I´ll have no doubt for that!! That was main reason why I did it too. Just one strong pull and limp mode!

I was just wondering why your nick was so familiar!! But I realise that your nick is same in SCF forums!

Lol i did a little intro thing for when mine started up. The Mrs hated it and made me remove the intro before it kicks into the boost gauge

Fast photoshop, ideas for summer rims. Any comments ??


Green (my fav)

Couple randoms

This one is damn good but I want more shocking colour

 

[Seal_LCR]

last one is the best looking!

yellow maybe?

 

[mrannikk0]

Black rims!!

 

[VT86]

Black rims!!

Way too boring and I don't wanna have bigger rims. those 17" rims look so damn small if I paint those to black / dark.

 

[JayFR150]

Not sure I like the green, and will look nasty when dirty. I'd paint them anthracite / black or respray In a glossy silver.

I dark rims are boring specially when they are small like mine. I don't want to have bigger rims. Silver paint on them is perfect rims are almost brand new. Bought for this summer .

I think that I have made my mind about color and already talked with one dude about powder coating



And have to say lot of snow and 4x4 is fantastic

 

[VT86]

Shopping list for winter mayhem

Haldex filter - OK
Haldex Oil - OK

OEM steel skid plate - Ordered

Have to changes engine oil also and new transmission dogbone with Powerflex bushings.



God I love winter with snow and 4x4 ;D

320km in "nice" winter weather:

Finally get my Serial LCD for arduino boostgauge project but face some problems. It's different type serial LCD than other people have used. I can't get it work with those source codes, so I have been reading couple nights Aruino.cc and other forums. Have to say that not so easy task, I should bought same LCD than others but I didn't know that this is different type.

Hope that I can manage get this one work, if not then I have 2 spare LCD which I can't use with Arduino uno first one works but it take all analog inputs so I don't have room for sensors.

 

[Muzza1742]

What kind of LCD have you got mate, I've had mine working with a serial LCD and a standard hd4470. any chance of a link?
