Car is down on power wat could it be

[m0rk]

looks like they did it in 3rd...... max speed 103mph? I think

that'll be why

 

[rst_cupra_r]

is that th max speed in 3rd them mork wat gear should they be doing it in 4th??

 

[m0rk]

4th or 5th to get the boost.

so basically a **** dyno operator

 

[rst_cupra_r]

sounds like it bloody hell do u tink if i moan they'll do a free re0run wen th boss paul hills is back at it was there young techie who done it

 

[Mitchy]

3rd gear in LCR is approx 85mph
4th gear in LCR is approx 105mph

They should do it in 5th gear on a 6sp and 4th gear on a 5sp for a 1:1 engine/gearbox

Remap you should be peaking at 21-22psi and holding 19-20 and then dropping to around 16-17 in the red

 

[m0rk]

is that all an LCR does in 3rd?

Same point though, not a close enough 1:1 ratio

 

[Mitchy]

Yep only 85mph, a bit tame really!

Damn these 6sp boxes

 

[rst_cupra_r]

will have to wait for big boys to vag-com it im goin to get a greens cotton filter universal cone to replace th shitter ram one i should be able to get a universal green cotton cone that fits th rams fittin kit then whack back on the chromed heat shield thing

It is safe to run without maf for a short period as a test.

It may solve your problem.

Boost gauge is advisable, that way you'll know of any problems straight away!

If the ram air is to blame, your maf will be knackered and you'll need a new 1. Cost about £70 IIRC.

cheers mitchy im sure ill have answers soon

That's one of the reasons for a slow 1/4 for the Leons, you have to change into 4th to complete the run.

jamie... jabba isnt quite 3hrs from u! (well shouldnt be)


do as you plan... go to bbt...shaun/chris will be able to see if ur maff if fcuked with vag com and im sure they will be able to use it in conjunction with a sps3 switch to optimise ur car.


dont worry im sure they will sort it !

i know its not much help now, but... wen we meet at the essex meet we wil have to go out in eachothers cars to see wat they are like

There is nothing wrong with a RamAir filter - simple as.
MAF's fail... mounting of the induction kit with insufficient care on vibration isolation is the main cause of peoples problems on ALL induction kits. Why do so many std cars also suffer MAF failures? Crap sensor.

MrsB Lupo continues to work fine on RamAir 18months on.. ZERO MAF problems and very healthy performance.

Green will not flow any more than a RamAir. If mounted the same inside the RamAir housing the MAF may still fail (assuming it is not working properly currently, with no logs or data to confirm/deny yet)
