Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

[brad1]

ill be happy with a reliable 165bhp and 265ftlb, anything more will be a bonus

 

[brad1]

well not alot of stuff been happening recently, due to problems with the car, but luckily enough all are sorted now and last weekend i picked up my new interior looks loads better and brightens up the car a little better. Excuse the screw driver lol

also where i had put a pd150 egr manifold and egr delete pipe, the old pipe didnt fit over the egr delete pipe, so i made this up from a 57-51mm reducing elbow and a straigh 51mm silicone hose, has done the job nicely and doesnt look to bad if i say so myself

and also, sitting and waiting to go on monday is my new turbo, injector nozzles and bigger TIP, cant wait so excited

 

[af1]

looking good brad! i have been looking for a set of those red recaros for a while
good find!
remember pm me about auto windows

 

[brad1]

well this morning i dropped my car of at AmD for my turbo conversion, hopefully i get her back today, if not, it will be tommorow, cannot wait, knowing my luck something will go wrong to cause a delay, but touch wood it doesnt, i will update you with the power figures that it makes and do a little review

 

[jonjay]

looking forward to the results

you got the nozzles then! what power you hoping to get??

 

[brad1]

you got the nozzles then! what power you hoping to get??

yeah mate, managed to get them from my local bosch diesel centre which was a bit of luck, i am not sure yet mate, anything above 160bhp would be nice, they said 170 is possible, should be getting it back tommorow touch wood

 

[A.m.C_Ibiza1]

Sounds good! you got her back?????

 

[brad1]

well got my car back today, and to say im happy isnt the word, im over the moon, the car has a real kick to it now and is so much more lively, the car did produce 165bhp and 265ftlb but the fuel pump wasnt liking it, so the map was toned down to a heatlhy and reliable 160bhp and 260ftlb, but the map should adapt so hopefully a few more bhp and torque to come, the drive back was so much better, its like a totally new car, i love it

 

[jonjay]

Cool Whats next then a better fuel pump?

 

[brad1]

Cool Whats next then a better fuel pump?

probably lol, my dad asked me when i got in, whats the next mod then laughing his head, i said bigger fuel pump lol, but this wont be for a little while yet, just loving the new power

BIGGER TURBO: DAY 2

Well today i took my car for a little blast and it seems to have adapted very well, i do believe now when they say the car will adapt, i dunno if its just me but the car feels that little bit quicker and pulls better than yesterday, i hope the car has gained a few more bhp and torque with the adaption, overall i am so happy with the car now and recommend AmD to everyone , they have made me fall back in love with my car , the clutch seems ok atm, touch wood, but i am not going to be flooring it until 3000rpm or just under as my main peak torque is at 3,200rpm and peak bhp is at 4480rpm and its still producing 152bhp at 5200rpm. I spoke to ben and if the clutch does slip, i will be trying to get it done under warranty as it comes with a years warranty and is rated to 300ftlb and ive only done 7000 miles on it, mainly motorway to and from work

Overall im one happy person

 

[UncleFester]

Nice one Brad - that should be you done for a while now

 

[brad1]

Nice one Brad - that should be you done for a while now

yeah, thats it for a while now, unless i come across a bigger fuel pump lol

Thats pretty good figures tbh especially that it holds the bhp well at 5rpm. Post up a graph

 

[brad1]

I will get it up later mate, when I get home , you at AmD tommorow morning, I may pop over

 

[brad1]

well i thought i better upload a rolling road graph, the numbers are hard to make out, but you get a rough idea, the greenie bluey line is the old power on standard 110 turbo, the faint grey line is the run where they tried for max power, but the fuel pump cut in and you can just make out where it cuts in at 4750rpm, and the final black line is the current map on the car, as you can see it holds power well through out the revrange and still producing power till 5300rpm, a nice aggressive and smooth map
this line should hopefully smooth out a bit more, as it adapts to the car etc

 

[strugers1]

brad let me know if your going amd tomorrow ill come with you boss

 

[A.m.C_Ibiza1]

Have you laminated that lol??

Looking good there, im finaly off to pipecraft wednesday, after i put some coilies and my cupra R interior in tomorrow!!!!!

that graph looks a lot like my one lol! just not as smooth yet, but like you say should have adapted quite nicely!!!

 

[brad1]

AmD laminated it for me lol, yeah the car feels much smoother now and more punchy, it's seems to have adpated well, maybe it adapts a little bit more over the next couple of days and gain a few more torque and bhp
I'm sure you won't be dissapointed with your new exhaust
