Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

Forge TIP & DV and a open cone filter.

Will said if I fit a down pipe I should get another 5-15bhp and 20-30lb/ft.

Away with the EGR.

Has to be done, fingers crossed nothing bad happens without the EGR.

 

[Damoegan]

Fingers crossed mate.

Mine is coming off along with the SAI when I get the time.

No EGR valve on the 1.8Ts. Does removing the SAI make any difference?

 

[Damoegan]

There is a EGR valve mate, thats why I have mate this to blank it off

I think tha SAI is more for emisions, so removing it just cleans up the bay a little.

 

[kriso]

I just double checked this and according to Elsawin there is no EGR system or valve, but there is a combi valve which is used when the SAI is in operation. It works in a similar way to an EGR valve but doesn't recycle exhaust gas into the air intake like an EGR valve. Looks like the 2 things get mixed up quite alot tho.

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, thats the one mate, combi valve. Looks like a ERG though.

 

[Damoegan]

Looking good mate, I've been tempted to get a cone filter but I think my under bonnet temps are too hot. Is it just a louder turbo woosh noise?

By the way mate, re this ^^^^

After driving 4+ hours back from p-torque today, got home opened the bonnet and the filter was actualy cold to touch. I was very surprised.

 

[Damoegan]

Been thinking about my next mod now I have a decent power level.

Its got to be a Whiteline rARB. Prob gona order one after christmas

 

[Damoegan]

Tomorrow I will mostly be removing the SAI, blanking the combi valve and adding resistors to replace N249 valv etc.

330ohm 10W resistors

Combi valve blanking plate

 

[Gooner_Mike]

What will this mod do exactly?

Yea, thats pretty good actually! Whiteline ARB will transform handling as much as remap transforms power i got the back out on a roundabout last week while pushing it...I lifted off after pusing it round in 2nd and the back came out slowely...just had to turn into it and give it a bit of gas and it came back! Won't be doing that again too soon tho.

I just by-passed the N249, didnt bother with resistors and I dont get any error codes or anything. Are they really needed?

I think its mainly used for controlling emissions and not realy needed so by removing it it cleans up the engine bay.

Yea, realy looking forwad to getting the ARB mate.

I have done the N249 bypass the same way as you mate and have done for about 6 month but just thought I'd do it properly while im removing the SAI and make it look much cleaner.

 

[Damoegan]

Eventualy got round to removing the SAI and N249 + N112 valves. It looks so much neater now

Pics to follow tonight. (Might even do a guid that could pos be used as a sticky)

 

[RpR]

I love guides, do tell!

 

[Damoegan]

I love guides, do tell!

For removing the SAI, N249 & N112 valves'. I'll try and do one tonight and ask admin/mod to make it a sticky.

Its very easy actualy

 

[Damoegan]

Guide now done clicky.

 

[Craigus]

Looks a beast matey, awesome!
