Nice car mate, you have spent a serious amount on this car, them brakes alone must have cost you a small fortune!

You taken her down the strip at santa pod before?

 

[Cupra_Red]

not taken it down santa pod and yes brakes were £1600 for the front

shall be putting a bigger turbo on it soon then maybe some 1/4 mile action

looking good,
my mate has alcon brakes on his evo an its like hitting a wall when there on!!!!

 

[Cupra_Red]

want close to 400 bhp as i can, i now bhp is pub talk but i think anymore than 400 and its then a waste imo as i cant see how you'd get traction.

seen a few others cars with same kind of set up as mine making close to 340bhp so i may get my map looked at after fitting a high flow manifold and go from there.

id swap for a set of brembos and money my way as id like to have 16 inch wheels rather than 18'ns

alcons are over kill lol

 

[Cupra_Red]

anyone else got same set up as me? if so what bhp u running?

 

[Damoegan]

Nice car mate

Thought the 28RS was capable of 300+bhp...

 

[cupramillo]

Nice car and in the best colour of course. Liking the monster stoppers upfront, and the black alloys on red is a nice combo. Yeh im sure the 28rs should put out more than 280bhp, do you have an uprated highflow manifold? Maybe one of those and a change of mappers would push abit more bhp for you.

Good work though mate!

 

[L.R.C.]

do you have any boost log? i want to go with a gt28rs and i am curious about how laggy is this unit...

 

[redcupraboy]

Lovely looking motor with some tasteful mods, quite like your wheels and brake set up
Dont you get any rubbing with the 18" alloys? Bet it goes like stink too, well done!

 

[Cupra_Red]

no rubbing as arches have been rolled, well im wanting rid of brakes as looking to go bk to 1 inch wheels with smaller brembos

its not that laggy full boost by 3500 revs holds to red line.

no aint got high flow mani yet, il be buying one off someone on here very shortly though

watch this space

[Damoegan]

Thats what I was thinking too...

Isnt backdrafts alex running the same turbo on his and hes pushing around 350hp?

Giac maps are good maps though btw

Think Alex's is a GT2871.

 

[PhilW]

Remember thats running low boost really for a 28, so in reality thats a pretty good figure.

Looks good tho, not sure on the pink trim tho. lol.

High flow mani and a map tweak and she'll be flying.

 

[IbizaAlex]

Used to on the old GT2860 turbo. That was only running 1.6 bar peak and 1.4 hold whatever that is in psi.

Think Alex's is a GT2871.

It is now. Dont have a true bhp figure yet for the setup tho.



Your car looks nice. Got any better pics of the engine bay? What mani are you currently running? I'm sort of guessing the turbo is an gt28 elimiator thingy.

 

[Cupra_Red]

thanks for comments guy's

alex : it has a standard mani on it, im in proces of getting a ina high flow mani off a forum member, so do you think the mani will make much difference?

also im thinking if i need a map tweek to save me goin to regal who did the Giac map i maybe pushed to revo/custom code as there are local agents around my way that offer it, as regal is 200 miles away.

Also my intercooler pipe work has all been upgraged but regal left the pancake pipe there ?? wtf thats the worst part to leave so im goin to be taking that off same time i change my mani and then see what she can do.

hoping 320-340 be nice
