L.R.C. Mk3 Cupra Project

[L.R.C.]

ProfecB installed

very easy for install BUT it is just a Bleed Valve... the boost is not requested as the stock N75 you only select a percentage of bleed...

anyway, this is it...

next is an upgrade to the wastegate...

Email them, but i think our mounts are the same as mk3 golf(not vr6)

i just installed the bfi mounts... the car vibrates as HELL, i cant even describe it! it makes you think that the motor is bolted straight to the body and they describe it as "These mounts will provide an almost factory level of comfort ",

 

[tarzan]

I didn't catch you...

their outside diameter I meant.. will they fit in the turret tops?
(I used compbrake ones, but blanks and had to turn the OD down to fit the ibiza turrets and drill the pcd mounting holes, and had to grind the centre section off the top of the turret to make it larger to allow the swing of movement.

this is what you get from hard poly bushes - heard this before on these mounts.
Vibratechnic offer fast road and race versions which work far better

yes this was a prob, but i solved it in an other way, i fitted them above the turret. full movement without any drilling! i will post a pic soon...

I did'nt do that method as the loads will now all apply on the mounting bolts clamping the thing.

BFi told me that i have to do 500km to break in the mounts, well I did the first 90km.
When the mounts are cold there is a LOT of vibration.
when the mounts got hot the vibration was reduced. ( slightly but noticeable)
At 1500rpm there is no vibration at all !!!
gear change is so smooth and precise.

I wouldn't recommend them as a street-everyday use, try the stealth kit...
I hope the mounts to get more soften...

Top mounts fitted
