Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[RpR]

Metallic rattle might be knocking, careful!
But very nice numbers indeed!

 

[RpR]

I was close on the torque figures! Do you think the turbo will be ok running these figures Damo?

Turbo doesn't care about the HK achieved, only how much boost it runs Keep it under 1.3bar and everyone will be happy!

Turbo should be fine as I'm gaining 10-15bhp from the advanved timing+octain booster+mani

No, it's not knocking. More likely my 7mm spanner I dropped down the back..........

I guess that warrants the question if the guy who dropped the spanner, is a tool!

Which you may find in the downpipe if you had it off I found all my lost manifold nuts and washers in there

Yes, DP was off..... and will be coming back off on Thursday when I strip it all back again

 

[Damoegan]

Graphs.......

 

[RpR]

Best guess would be injectors hitting their limit, either that or the ignition is cutting back heavily. Fixable though!

 

[Damoegan]

I think its boost related. N75, actuator or something along those lines...

 

[m0rk]

Just a quick one - but I *think* there might be something wrong with the graphs....

Nah, engine cuts back, waits for problem to clear, then goes on the boost again. No CEL?

259bhp thats rather a lot,theres nothing worse than dropping tools in the engine bay i lost an alan key and alan key bit in my bay when fitting the new south gasket managed to fish them out with a telescopic magnet though.
how long did it take to fit the manifold? im put off by fitting one for the reason of acsess its so tight round there.

On the test drive it was aparent that there is a magor boost problem.. Fluctuating boost quite bad. It also makes a metalic rattle between circa 4-5k RPM

i would be a little worried about the flunctuation.
Did it start right after the mani installation?

now you make me have second thoughts about getting one of them as I hate that boost surging and it can also damage the turbo
