hi there.
I have recently taken my head off my engine and sent it away with my throttle bodie for a stage 2 p&P spec with enlarged valves, uprated lifters and springs by this company via ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1204623103...84.m1423.l2649
i am building a turbo spec car. i recieved a 1.5mm decomp plate i am fitting with a double HG. i recently fitted a low milage bottom end also (56k)
i was wondering whilst everything is off what else can i do thats in weasy reach. My car is not a saxo but a 1. 8v MPI4 seat ibiza
so far i have
cleaned piston tops
brought new cambelt kit ready for refitment
injectors all ready to put into place
awaiting arrival of cupra FPR
i have everything ready to fully service the car ie oil filter, castrol 10w40 oil and fuel filter
i cant think off anything else to do to prep my car for the rebuild. the mapping will be done in a few months once the exhaust is built and i have saved some monies
my spec for the car (when finished) is
cupra (330cc) injectors
3.0 Bar FPR
P&P throttle bodie
Uoprated head (as described above)
standard camshaft (no uprated models made for my car)
standard new belts
1.5mm decomp plate and twin HG
custom turbo manifold and 2.5" downpipe
t2 turbo
megane intercooler
2.25" pipes
unbranded oil sandwhich plate
oil cooler
custom turbo lines
forge BOV
cupra uprated apexi air filter
true 3" exhaust
rev limiter raised to 7k
standard cupra front brakes with standard size grooved disks and standard rear drums
unbranded electronic boost controller
unbranded turbo timer
psi boost and oil temp guage in pod
expecting on low boost (4psi) about 100hp) and on high about 180whp (14psi)
people will say why turbo a 1,4 8v
1- i am fitting a twin actuator boost high of 1 bar and low off 4psi. this will help save fuel on long journeys and boost and power is there when i need it
2- i have a very solid and good bottom end.
3- i cant be bothered to find a 1.8 20v t engine when i only want to run around 180whp max. a cupra engine will give me that but will constantly drink fuel on my long journeys and will be more expensive then this build as i aquired alot off the parts at cheap prices including the turbo, intercooler etc
4- i cant get insured on a cupra engine and i can on this build with every nut and bolt declared
