Finally Its going on the road again

[sh4rk]

hey guys - been a while things went a little bit bad for me over the past few months so no internet and my baby went off the road. Car going back on the road in the next few weeks then finaly can start with the upgrades again. but my question is this. It has had the facelift bumpers put on side skirts have been ordered as well as a few little mods such as gear knob, gator, and still looking for a w8 light and fabia rear wipers. Got angel eyes on and such and will have spings and shocks to lower it shortly and still trying to decide on alloys they have to be 18" and black other than that i really can't decide. But now i want to get some extra power - what is the best way to go about this it currently has an induction kit and a crappy scorpian exhaust (i want this changing it came with the car)

obvioulsy i have heard the LCR injectors will fit straight into the LC - what gains would this return and would i need anything else changing to acheive this? also i have had a very good offer for a stage 2 remap - but what else would i need to allow this map? I am aware that i need a different downpipe but didn't want a decat so what other options do i have? and what else needs to be changed?

The injectors wont do anything on there own and are usually only needed with hybrid/big turbo conversions, stage two will need full exhaust turbo back, front mount IC, there is loads on this subject you would be better off doing a search and reading through the threads.

 

[sh4rk]

ok cool will go searching and try to make sense of it all

ok i have found the bit about a 4 bar pressure reg. Sry guys had plenty of motors but this is the first i have decided to mod. As i understand it i need it because of my current injectors yes? how much is the regulator and where would i get one from. Could i not just replace my injectors with some LCR injectors - would this then negate the need for the pressure regulator or would i still have to buy it? the reason i asked is because a m8 of mine has offered me some LCR injectors for £50 - obvioulsy i realise that it would run like a bag of spanners without remapping.

You wont need bigger injectors or a fuel pressure regulator if its not a really aggressive map.

Regulator is about £35-40

 

[sh4rk]

cool - not too bad then - unlike the FMIC i want lol.

I just want to get some more oomf well - alot more oomf was in mrvavavooms the other day and its so much more reactive than mine more pull etc. so now i have issues as i want mine like that. i would have an LCR but no way i can afford one till end of this year / start of next.

What one are you looking at?

Quite a few people using the Toyo Sport kit.....quite cheap with good results.

 

[sh4rk]

The forge one cheapest i have found it is £587. The toyo one? Is that the half size intercooler that sits under the bumper bar?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

is that the half size intercooler that sits under the bumper bar?

Half size? Its larger than the standard and sits in direct air flow. I think it does still sit behind the bar a bit but I'm not 100% sure

Its £250

 

[sh4rk]

lol what i mean is half size compared to the forge if i can post a link without being shouted at

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yeah thats the kit......doesn't use the restrictive standard pipework like the Forge one does.

 

[sh4rk]

so i assume this kit is ok as an upgrade to allow me to get a stage 2 remap? especially with it being £250 as oppose to the £600 forge.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yes its fine, JamesWalker and Kenetic both run this kit on stage 2 and make 235-240bhp

 

[sh4rk]

yeah thats around the figure i'm after as well - well thats made me feel a little better as it was the most expensive part to get the motor to stage 2. just have to decide on my wheels now

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

What downpipe are you going for? These are usually most expensive part if you want a sports cat.

 

[sh4rk]

well that was the other thing i know nothing about at all. all i know is i need one as i can't be bothered with the swapping things for an MOT - ( And england score ) back to topic lol. i need some major advice on the downpipe as i say i know nothing about what is available so - ideas welcomed - can i even put a sports cat on with my exhaust or do i need a whole new system i just don't know

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

You want a turbo back system with sports cat then.

100 or 200 cell sports cat 2.5-3" downpipe to a 2.5" system [thats most aftermarket systems]

The best thing you can do is keep an eye on the forum sponsors section as they often have deals....think AMD are doing 20% off Miltek at GTI fest this weekend?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Ahh rite as you already have a cat back system you can just buy a downpipe

 

[sh4rk]

oh right so the scorpion system stays and i just get a sports cat downpipe and it will be fine? lol just seen the prices of spots cat downpipes lol good job i'm gonna be saving the cash on the FMIC lol

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yeah thats right the cat is part of the downpipe its all 1 piece.

There usually about £450 so if you could get a miltek with the 20% off thats quite a saving
