Lime Green Cupra K1 - Hybrid turbo

[Leeoncupra]

I'm having a. Nightmare with the pipes from the intercooler , I had it all fitted then it popped off when driving , the pipes from turbo revs don't fit as they are too long for the leon , has some custom ones made all sorted now

Was the turbo revs hose too short or long? Iv got both the turbo rev and the darkside hoses

The darkside hose is longer than the turbo revs 90 degree but the other hose is the same size

Recon one of then will fit ok?

(Darkside hoses have the clamps on)

Yes they look the right ones , that’s definetely the clamps you want , but I had such oversize hoses that the hose was basically touching the side of the oil pan and couldn’t get. A t bolt clamp in so I used 2 skinnier jubilees

Well i have just ordered new some cold gapped spark plugs designed for stage 2+, new R8 coil packs , and a red ignition harness , also getting. New set off Michelin pilot super sport tyres

I am getting tempted on water meth injection and also a forge hose kit for the engine bay!

 

[RyanC93]

Well I’ve just ordered a short shifter and a new upgraded dog bone mount , all be fitted this weekend!

 

[RyanC93]

Goodies came just getting them fitted in couple
Of hours just waiting for super bush mount and short shifter now!

 

[RyanC93]

Well the parts are on the car and the car feels great now , I swear it feels more “pokey” , I’m not sure if it is the placebo effect or my coils weren’t the best, the cold racing spark plug makes the car bang like a shot gun every gear change , sounds the dogs bollocks

 

[RyanC93]

Well I’ve fitted the shirt shifter today and it is one of my favourite mods to do date. Well worth £35 , don’t know why I didn’t get one sooner!

Makes the gap between gears half as big , much smoother , definetly recommend it ! Bargain for £35 only half a hour to install too

My maw at work actually bought one similar before me and told me that’s why I Decided to get that one .. a lot of people saying they’re bad and this and that but I haven’t seen any proof so, Nicky at r tech didn’t even ask about the intercooler! If it was bad I’m
Sure he would of

Lol .. I wouldn’t be spending anymore on a intercooler if I was you personally , madness if you do! Nicky at r tech would of asked me if it had restrictions , just get them oversized hoses what I told you about ..And about £1,000 I got full kit from clutch stop , Sachs sintered clutch rated 450 foot pounds , single mass fly wheel, new slave cylinder and release bearing I think, mind the clutch is quite bad for daily driving , hurts my leg in traffic ! , if I done it again i would of stuck a lsd in there when the box was off

 

[RyanC93]

Well I’ve just fitted the super bush dog bone mount then had a quick drive to work haven’t really tested it out , no extra vibrations , probably due to already having a revo engine and gear box mount already in , but over all impression it helps put the power down

 

[RyanC93]

Well not a lot going on but I have taking my air filter off and giving it a good clean , hasn’t been done in 30,000 miles , also just order 6L of Mobil 1 oil, 3 litres of gear box oil, and forte specialist injector cleaner and 3 litres of ate blue brake fluid , car should be like new once all done

I'm going to be doing my full service myself this year for the first time eek. What did you clean the air filter with? Did you have to oil it or anything before putting it back on?

Also... don't suppose you have a link to those sparkplugs? I might give em a try.

I had a shortshifter on my FR, but could never get used to it. I think when changing gears quickly I was too slow on the clutch. So just ended up crunching the gears most of the time. I was tempted to try a short shifter with a sportsshifter knob (with less of a throw) and see how that worked out tho.
