Leon Cupra R AWD PPT5935R E85 build

Some machine there Oistein.
This will be a hoot on the track.
So you'll definitely need Vib*****s engine mounts, LSD (as mentioned) and cut slicks.
I can strongly recommend DS3000 pads too.

Mental , how much has this set up cost roughly

Do you mean just the motor or all of everything Ive done to the car ?

I already have VF motor and tranny mounts waiting to go on. Clutchmaster FX400 and Wavetrac LSD sitting on my table. I'm running with Bill's 330x28 rotors and DS2500 pads. Oil cooler and rear arb is on the to get list still.


Al @ PagParts will get me a 550hp core so I can tune it up to 30+psi. Going to experiment with NGK BKR8EIX plugs as well. Running 7E plugs now.

Really impressed with this AGU motor and the PagParts billet turbokit.

Note top speed in 6th gear at 7500rpms is 301km/h Autobahn trip coming up I guess...

Ever thought of moving the battery to the boot for some more room
Is that an optima battery and if so how does it compare size wise to the OE?

dont wanna do the boot thing bcs the voltage drop it too great imo. Its an Optima yellow top at 11kg. I had a Varta B23 there earlier but that didnt supply enough CCA. Im very happy with the yellow top so far. Its a deep cycle battery.

Actually this is not final version. Still have to bolt on the VF mounts....

Looking good. How about some videos Doing any more track days?

Depends on the quality of the cable
I used a type of cable called radox designed as very low resistance but able to take large loading
It is often used in solar power install due to distance from panels back
I am still using my OE battery at 6 years old and no problems, ask phill

what Voltage are you getting from ECU?

 

[Ronin225]

Not checked at ECU, also what kind of voltage drop is too much for you

Im reading 14.2 on the optima battery all over the rev range. A buddy of mine who put it in the boot had 13.5 which droppet at higher rpms. So the fuel pump didnt get max performance.

 

[Ronin225]

How are you checking this?
Stationary with revving or logged somehow on vagcom

doing logs when I drive, eurodyne maestro 7.

 

[Ronin225]

I can speak to phill as i should be giving him a hand logging soon
We both run battery relocations so would be interesting, i did add an inline kill switch in mine so may suffer a small loss across this
