Seat Leon CUPRA 4 TDI 310HP 585NM

[Cupratje]

Hello,

My name is Martin from the Netherlands.
I buyd this car in 2009 as a almost stock TDI.

Its a Seat leon CUPRA 4 TDI, when i buy the car it had 202hp with only a chip.
This is how i buyd it.

After a long time the car must have some changes.. And it must be faster..
With a long talk with VVT (Van Vught Tuning) we made a setup for the car and it will be 280HP and 500nm.

With:
2260v turbo
dbillas camchaft
900cc nozzles
2.5 inch downpipe (custom made)
2.5 inch exhaust (custom made)

After a few runs on the dyno and some changes we had 278HP and 487nm..
I drive with this setup 2 years..
The car change a lot in that time.

Drag racing on 20" was a little to mutch..
So i buyd some 18 inch rims make them pink with some toyo R888 semi slicks and we go farder..
The fastest time on the 1/4 mile was 13.6 sec with 18".

In the beginning of 2011 it was time for some changes again..
The car must have a new look and it must be faster..
I buyd a Wathermethanol injection kit.
A 2010 Audi s3 full aluminium intercooler
And made some custom hoses in aluminium.
A Southbend flywheel with my Sachs Racing clutch.
Made a custom gearbox, longer gears and make it stronger.
lighter wheels (OZ Super leggera in 18").

That was a big step but it helps.
With VVT we get out of the engine 310HP and 585NM.

In 2 years that i doing dragraces in the Netherlands i win 22 prices..
And a lot of events i won.
With 310HP and 585NM i drive a new record for myself. 12.97 sec on the 1/4 mile, that is realy fast for a TDI that weights 1400KG.

Here all what is changed on the car:

Engine:
- 1.9 TDI ARL
- Stok pistons, rots and cilinderhead
- 2260v garret turbo
- dbilas race camchaft
- 900cc nozzles
- Audi s3 2011 FMIC (Full aluminium)
- Aluminium hoses
- 2,5 inch custom made exhaust
- Sashs race clutch
- Solid flywheel by southbend
- Custom gearbox (longer gears and stronger bolts.....)
- Water methanol injectie
- Software made by VVT-Motorsport

Wheels & Suspension:
- FK coilover kit
- Powerflex Bushings
- Custom Camberarms rear
- D2 8 piston brake kit with 356mm brakedisks
- 18" OZ Superleggera's
- Zimmerman brakedisks rear with ferodo DS2500

The Looks:
- Carbon Cupra R frontlip
- Carbon Rearspoiler
- Carbon mirror baseplate
- Carbon inner B-style's
- Wrapped in matt anthracite Gray Metallic

And allot of other things..

this car makes me like mk1 leons and thats from someone who owns one.
its a shame the 4wd leon wasnt available in the uk.

 

[shnazzle]

Mooie bak Martin.

Ik was altijd fan van de mk1, en vooral zoals hij hem hebt.

 

[dgjdrummer]

Amazing work, nice to see someone with a +300bhp Leon! When the car was at 202hp did it have any work done at all? Liking the clean and subtle engine bay.

As said, shame we didn't get the 4wd over here.

Nice car mate!



I am jealous! Fancy a swap for a uk 2wd arl? Lol

 

[James23Parkin]

Wow, what a great Cupra 4 TDI! I looks nice in its present guise, but those 20" Audi/VW wheels looked great. Do you have any details/info on those wheels? wheel and tyre fitment, and finish wise?

Do you have much more planned for it?

 

[pjmdevo]

Love it, any videos?

 

[Harfi]

Looks amazing mate well done

It are original 20" A8 s-line wheels.. from the old audi a8..
20" 8.5J ET45, with 225/30 R20 tires from hankook..
And the front a 15mm bracket and rear 20mm bracket..
I sold the set of rims because i drive 2 years with it and it was time for something else..

Thats a super sweet leon.
Must pull like a train with 500+ nm. Love the wrap good choice in colour.
Another one that wished we got the cupra 4. But then the R32 wouldn't sell.

Lovely car!

Right components to make big power for sure. Did you get rosten rods as well? Also what nozzles did you get? Firad? You thought about turning down the power and making it smoke free?

i think he had done well considering english probably isnt his language.

 

[Cupratje]

Thank you.. The rods are stock the pistons also.. I drive a daily and a dragrace program..
The daily is almost smoke free with 285HP and 520NM.. The dragrace program smokes allot..

VVT makes the nozzles by his own.. You can buy the 783 race if iam right..
I drive with 900.. And there are people over here that drives with 1100..
