Kinetic T3 Turbo Kit - Fit RHD & Ibiza Mk3?

[Rick1.8t]

This may have been covered before but i cant find any information.

Does anybody know if the Kinetic kit found here:

http://www.kineticmotorsport.com/pr...ORT_MKIV_1_8T_TURBO_HARDWARE_KIT-927-136.html - would fit RHD cars and more importantly to me the MK3 Ibiza?

My thought process is that if the link-pipe / downpipe is designed to fit upto a standard KO3downpipe / exhaust in its standard location then it would miss the engine mount? Would it clear the brake master cylinder?

Thoughts?

Ask PhilW and Bill (ibizacupra) as Im sure they'll have looked at it but Im pretty sure it wont fit mk3 cupra.

ibiza's rear engine mount would be my concern

what does the engine mount get in the way of? the downpipe clearance?

 

[ibizacupra]

that would be my worry yes

Wait a couple of weeks mate
you will be happy with what we have to offer.

I dont think thats the issue Bill, its been fitted to a mk2 golf with that mount as its fits to the OE k03 downpipe position.

My concern is how close it gets to the brake servo on the bend down to the OEM DP.

Thanks for taking the time to reply all.

Not in a massive rush just looking at things at the moment, i need a larger / more comfy car everyday now (running own business, putting bike in back, longer journeys) and i was offered a shocking PX value for my ibiza so its staying with me, i have wanted something to replace my 205 turbo technics anyway

Phil - thats my thought too - that it would hit the servo.

INA - ill keep my eyes open.

I can confirm that it does fir RHD cars, ive been speaking to Clay @ CTS turbo and hes said that hes sold a few kits to the RHD market and is emailing me pics today.

If theres enough room i will be gettin this kit.

 

[ibizacupra]

i know he says he has a few RHD cars (Auz) with them on, but seeing is believing and if any other mods are required.
Would be nice if it did of course

 

[PhilW]

Bill, he said theres one on its way to the UK for an S3 using a Precision HP6262SP-B turbo.

Ill post pics when i get them on the RHD cars.

crikey-thats going to be............... snug

 

[PhilW]

Just had some pics via email and it looks like the setup has been altered for RHD setups bill.

[Rick1.8t]

Phil, did Clay say if they were selling it with this modification or has the kit been modified once it hit the uk?

Sounds promising...

 

[PhilW]

Looks like AMD will be selling it as a RHD kit.

Would you be OK with a 2.5" performance (BlueFlame/Milltek) exhaust in this power band?

Just thinking whether you'd need to upgrade to a 3" system anyway??

Yes, I would say it needs a 3" system, if you think of the k03 uses a 2.5/2.75 system

 

[ibizacupra]

hmmm.. I ran 2.5" Jetex system on my IHI and ran it on the PE hybrid also.. 395bhp
3" downpipe on it tho

would a 2.5" be a restriction on the kit though Bill?
