yes, 2 years spent on it, I can't just break it
We couldn't code it out in the end, as it was not accepting the codes, so we need to look at that another day.
We have just pulled the ABS fuse for now
Looking forward to these results, nice build mate.
Thanks mate
I'm not really sure what to expect from the results. We couldn't tell if the restriction last time was the turbo or the downpipe etc. Will soon find out though
Hoping for 280, but not sure the CR Turbo will flow this well
So the car is now finished, and I am seriously chuffed with the results
it was 285bhp with 287lbft at 1.3 bar and with water meth 290bhp.
it was flowing 250bhp on less than one bar on actuator pressure alone...normally the CR Turbo units have to be worked hard to flow, but this is working seamlessly
The little K03 hybrid was reaching it's limit, not to mention the rods also, due to the spikey nature of a KKK turbo we are playing it safe. The turbo "could" flow over 300bhp, but then it's squeaky bum time for if the engine stays in one piece.
Power is now awesome, right across the rev range up to the redline, it's still holding 1.2bar.
Bare in mind we had to push the turbo at 1.5/1.6 bar to get 264bhp.....it wasn't flowing. Now since with the SFS supersize TIP, 3" downpipe, decat and water meth it has gained almost 30bhp. The mapper reported that the supersize TIP really helped to unleash the power.
Here are the graphs:

seriously seriously chuffed with the result as I wasn't expecting much more than 280bhp at the most.

I'm still in shock from the result mate, really wasn't expecting it at all
Rods are....next year, or until the block lets rip....
It's out performed all of my expectations for sure!
I am picking her up tomorrow, excited much!! Then I am going to GTI International Sat and Sun and down the strip on Sun also, to get her very first 1/4 mile run from all the time I have owned her
Just read this thread from start to finish.
Well done for continuing on when most would've gave up.
Love the understated sleeper look of the car, bet it shifts, especially after going on a diet and gaining another 30bhp

Thanks mate, yes it has been a labour of love, but yesterday finally saw it all come to fruition
Went to GTI International yesterday. Now bare in mind that I have not done a 1/4 mile for at least 8 years when I had my MK3 Ibiza Cupra.
The weather was red hot all day (burnt) and made for some challenges on the strip, but fortunately water meth was helping here
I started off running a 14s 1/4 mile, then got into the 13's, and my very last run of the day pulled a 13.4 with a terminal speed of 108mph
To say I am chuffed is an understatement, especially as I am running nankangs (from the previous owner still on the car) and with a 40 profile tyre.
I was 0.1s slower than the fastest Seat of the day, so just missed out on getting the fastest seat prize
EPIC day though and thoroughly enjoyed
Roll on VW action and hopefully I can improve on my times
thats an impressive time mate, bet you gave a few cars a fright in the process too
well done
what clutch/flywheel setup are you running?? Still stock??

I don't know to be honest mate, it had a stage 3 clutch in when I sold it, but when I had bought it back off the guy, this clutch had went and another was fitted. What's in there now I have no idea. Could be standard for all I know, as the guy was such a bloody cowboy
Saw you on the strip a few times mate looked great![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Thanks mate, it felt great going down there
And you mate, get your ass down the strip next time
Car is now sat on the drive with it's warpaint on still
Few pics of it down the strip, killing a silver MK4 Golf
Ahead already
Not sure what I am to do with the car now. I guess drive and enjoy her, not much else to bolt on or do, other than tidy bits and pieces up
got a few things to do, like install the brake ducts, tidy up the interior and attempt to make the plastic door skins
oh and here's the timing slip to prove I did a 13.4

time will tell if it is an uprated clutch or not running the power you are running, although your power delivery is quite linear without a massive spike which will help a lot.
with the power you are running i would highly recommend fitting a LSD.
i had the Quaife ATB fitted to my LCR when i had it a few years ago...... what a difference it made to my car, and it was only running stage 1. I had it fitted along with a sachs race clutch and the jabbasport lightened SMF.
Just food for thought......... and your probably gonna hate me for putting the idea in your head lol.
