Not with HID's you dont. When you first switch them on you get a initial flash just like off a camera, then it takes 4-5 seconds for them to get upto full temp.

sorry i made a mistake

 

[Damoegan]

I have already tryed a N75h (race) valve but it caused boost surge. If you read the thread from the begining its on page 1 or 2.

I dont know anyone els who has tryed a different N75 valve on a mk4 Cupra, it seams like its more the mk3 crew who tend to like it.

N75 valve gives more boost and more boost=more hp. It`s a cheap and safe way to gain more hp.

I tried N75J but it caused me problems...just didn't feel right..hesitation etc. Standard one works fine for me and am happy with power/boost levels

I know what you mean mate, didnt like part or full throttle. Standard one is fine

Do you still get the high revs on a cold start after disconnecting the SAI?

Cold start (-2C) today and it reved to 1.25k while I scraped the windows . Not sure how long it sat like that for but I dont think it was for long.

Ok cheers. I think it's meant to do it for about 90 seconds. I'll just put up with the noise then, it's not too bad really....I just don't want to sound like a chav for too long

I know what I'm doing at the weekend then

Just waiting on my DS2500's from Bill now.

Very nice!
What pads are you putting on the back?

 

[Damoegan]

Just standards for now mate as when I replaced rear discs and pads last year I only got crap/cheap discs and they are shot but I got Ferodo standard pads (I think) and pads look ok for now. I'll get some DS2500's for the rear in a few month.

Edit: Actualy, I think they were Mintex and not Ferodo.

Nice looking setup Damien.

Still need to put my 312mm's on. Never changed brakes before so im abit...........scared! lol

Got DS2500's for mine too, can't wait to get them on.

 

[Damoegan]

Cheers Chris.

I have changed the rear's and they are quite easy to do (as long as you have a piston wind back tool).
I aint done the fronts yet but we'll st what its like at the weekend.

You realy need to get the 312mm's on mate, they so good.

Sorry to hijack the thread but.. for a 312mm conversion for my Ibiza FR I just need bigger calliper carriers (from an Audi TT or similar) and 312mm discs?

 

[Damoegan]

I believe so Mike.

 

[james.l]

i "think" you need the calliper and pads as well. I am going to be doing the 312mm mod this weekend

I think that's correct. Just the calliper carriers. Dont need new pads because it's the same calliper you're using.

So you use the calipers/pads for the 288mm discs on 312mm ones?

 

[Damoegan]

I think so mate, just larger carriers that move the calipers further away.

I could be wrong though
