Cupra R Query

[Lewis_SJH]

Hi guys,

getting bored of my A3 so im thinking of delving into the SEAT world, just read the post on the Cupra vs Cupra R and the cosmetic differences, what about engine spec?

i know the cupra r has 180bhp (same engine as my A3) whereas the cupra has 156?

but do both versions have the same turbo / internals?

 

[Lewis_SJH]

doing a bit of research ive found that both cars have the same hardware? and its just an actuator and map difference? is this correct? most remapping places quote different figures for each model though

 

[PlatinumR]

the cupra has 180bhp and the R has 210/225 bhp in standard forms. petrol versions ofcourse.

Thats if he's talkin about leon cupras which i dont think he is

PlatinumR, Erm i think the Cupra R has 180 and the normal Cupra has 156.

I thought the Leon CupraR had 225? that has a Ko3S turbo though right?

Both Ibiza Cupra/R cars map to near enough the same.

Same engines same turbo's. just different map from factory, Cupra R has brembo brakes. red seat belts, and a few other things, not anything that isnt achieveable with a normal cupra.


some people tried put Cupra R ECU's into thiere normal Cupra's to give them 180bhp instead of 156, then probabaly ended up getting them mapped anyway!!

Cheers for that fella, i thought they were the same internals etc its just the tuning companies made it seem different yea the leon has 225 (210 for earlier ones) and has the K04 turbocharger rather than the K03s the cupra has, theres just something about owning the beeza Cupra R and the exclusivity lol

I own an R. Once the novelty of owning a rare car wears off you soon realise apart from the seats (which i like) and the brembos, theres no difference between the 2 really. Oh except that the R is 2 insurance groups higher than a cupra

They map to the same as well

cheers mate, if i cant find an R ill just settle for a normal Cupra if thats the case, my A3 is just too sluggish even with 225 ponies

If you have your heart set on an R just be prepared to be patient and be prepared to travel. Seen them go for various prices recently. Saw one go for £5.5k whilst most seem to go for around the 7k mark.

Beware of the Rockingham Track cars, some cupra r's were used at rockingham

i do have my heart set on one, need to wait anyway and finish paying off the A3 before i can do anything, hopefully ill be able to part ex it, but with not many being about i cant see that happening they'll all be private sales

cheers dan

This is probably worth a read through, it gives you the low down on the R's used as track cars.
