My fresh onvi cupra (now of the road full forged engine rebuild onway)

[Mk3R]

How much has the build cost mate

 

[chaazza]

Because your bores will be bigger you need a headgasket with larger holes

Where would I get that to bud

Not to sure tbh I'm doing all the work myself so only costing parts

 

[Mk3R]

I do all the work to mate i am going to be forging mine cupra an just was been nosie

On the net somewhere. Ask someone who has done it.

 

[chaazza]

Joe used a standard One at 82.5 mm

 

[James.Judd.1]

I also use a standard gasket at 82.5mm its 83mm that you will need a larger one

 

[turboholic]

Ah rite. Sorry. My bad

 

[chaazza]

That's fine mate just good to know I wasn't going to replace my pistons and working it out its going to cost around 500-600 more on the build

 

[turboholic]

If you've got the £££s then do it but if not, doesnt really matter

 

[chaazza]

If I did do it I'd be 3-4 weeks behind on the build

 

[joehirth]

Then do it. Trust me 3-4 weeks in the whole scheme is nothing

 

[James.Judd.1]

Id say it will be worth it for the sake of waiting an extra month.. the weather is crap anyway

 

[chaazza]

I wasn't planning on having it back on the road till mid febuary so it won't me on the road for even longer iv then got to think about running it in and mapping the car up

 

[joehirth]

Running in takes like a few minutes, then 500miles total. Something which you will have to do anyway... Mapping count a few days for, why are you worried about an extra month?!

 

[chaazza]

I don't no really would I be right in thinking I can't have it mapped untill its run in

 

[manzfield]

mate loving this thread ... i think my car was even on your drive!? you got me thinking... project cupra maybe on the cards

 

[chaazza]

Yea its been on my drive quite a few times LMAO

[chaazza]
