Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

what mods do you have to allow 3' of advance damien, as per my logs recommended retarding the timing.. wouldnt advancing mine work so much, trying to learn this..

 

[Damoegan]

SEAT Sport FMIC, Forge TIP, Green Cotton twin cone filter and Miltek turbo back exhaust. The intercooler is very good, better than the Forge one

I'm still trying to learn as much as you, James..

 

[james walker]

i take it the fmic will allow timing advance??

just thinking mods are similar to mine, same map aswell.

only thing i dont have is fmic..

 

[Damoegan]

My inlet temps today were about 6-7' with a outside temp of 2.5-3'. It makes a huge difference mate.

 

[james walker]

friggin hell, mine were 30deg yesterday, similar temp outside.

could mine be pointing towards a dodgy cooler??

sorry to barge in on your thread mate

Quick pic I took today

Feel free mate

Yea, 30'C in this weather isn't good. But thats what you get with a SMIC mate.

Even a cheapo ebay special would be better.

 

[james walker]

would this cause the timing pull im seeing?

gotta justify the forge cooler somehow.

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, it could well do mate.

Even in the summer I can see inlet temps below 30'C mate

 

[james walker]

hmmh fmic and phenolic gasket then eh.... 600quid here i come. should be worth it though.

 

[Damoegan]

I've still got to fit a Newsouth gasket too

You will be fine with a ebay special mate, Rob Don said they are fine upto 250bhp. You would see a huge difference with one. Think the cooler is only £90 then some piping...

 

[james walker]

hmmh, quite mechanical on suspension, brakes etc etc but bodging a non fit cooler, sounds and looks quite difficult.

 

[Damoegan]

I've never fitted one before mate but I'm sure if you can fit suspension then you could fit a cooler.

Its only a case of fitting a couple of pipes from the cooler to the turbo outlet and inlet mani.

 

[james walker]

for lc, twin pass looks easier, but ive heard single pass is better....

id fancy a go, but would need an idiots picture guide.

 

[Damoegan]

Well my Seat Sport one is twin pass so they cant be that bad

I'm sure there is a guid somewhere mate.

when you fit the power gasket will you have to do a tb alignment?

 

[Damoegan]

when you fit the power gasket will you have to do a tb alignment?

I wouldn't think so, Alex. But I'll prob do it anyway

 

[CJRamze]

Power gaskets are straight up awesome to be fair, My car has cooled down no end.

 

[Damoegan]

I should have mine tomorrow or Sat, hopefully.

If so I'll prob fit it on Monday (weather permitting)

I should have mine tomorrow or Sat, hopefully.

Don't forget to admire the ingenuity used to make sure it didn't get bent in the post.
