so has it got 225 bhp or 280bhp???

 

[Acksaw]

or 252.5? Seems a good average

 

[turboboy]

awesome post!

 

[Ibiza125]

Fairly rubbish K04 conversion if it is only making 225... I would think he meant 280! Hope at least...

you have the dyno lottery

 

[5cotty]

Sorry! =\

Its running 225bhp at the moment . . . . A few tweaks and a new intercooler and map should sort things out, and push the BHP up a little.

As for the 280BHP as the header I thought id put it as that because thats where im aiming a few months down the line =] and didn't want to have to create another post about the same car ... lol

Sorry for the confusion

 

[Ibiza125]

You can change the title at a later date

 

[5cotty]

Silly Billy....

Cheers Josh!

Noobs huh? what would you do without us!

Just changed the header to stop the confusion

Pictures up soon guys, getting on it today!

 

[burnsey]

Get some pics up bud, seen the car today its looking good, can't believe you finally bought one.

 

[5cotty]

Just found out that my car used to be a K03S . . .

Which explains why its only pushing a mere 225BHP from a K04, because its still running a K03S map . . .

Looks like its time for a new Jetex air filter, LCR injectors and a fmic and a stage 2 map!

Pictures will be following soon guys just need a nice day to arrive for me to clean and polish her don't want to put photos up of her dirty

Can't believe it doesn't have a FMIC. Are you sure it doesn't??

Go for stage 3 buddy with a K04! Get a 3" MAF housing (LCR) also and away you go!

 

[5cotty]

It only has the original one

Dont ask i think the bloke who had it before me took loads of kit off it

I.e Brembo's, Air Filter

Couple of tiding up jobs to do then i will defo look into stage 3!

Cheers dude!

 

[hop2manual42]

jealous i think

 

[5cotty]

Disappointing weekend!

Rain, rain and guess what? more rain. . .

Not been able to do anything to the Ibiza

Not even take a decent photo!

Maybe sometime in the week ....

 

[5cotty]

The work has began!

Finally got round to emptying my oil catch tank and boy was I in for a big surprise! the inside was disgusting! about 3-4mm thick walled with sh*t!

The inside of the lid...

Inside the catch tank itself...

As you can see the pictures speak for themselves! clearly had not been emptied by the previous owner in a while...

 

[5cotty]

After the cleaning!

So I went out to the garage, popped open a can of my favourite stuff (GUNK)

And gave the inside a good old clean

Used a brush to help shift the sh*t, and hey presto clean as a whistle... just about

Inside the lid after a good old clean

Inside the tank after the clean

While I had my head under the bonnet I had a sniff around and noticed, just in the nick of time, one of my coolant pipes had been resting on the timing belt good job I noticed before it burnt rite through the pipe...

Also... (haha it just keeps coming) I popped open the passenger side headlight to check on the bulbs cos its been on and off these past few days on the way to work. To my surprise the entire one side of the plug had completely melted but not to fear a bit of handy work with the long nose pliers sorted the problem.

Basically the plug wasnt making a good contact with the spade on the back of the H7 bulb, meaning it was jumping electricity from the plug to the rear of the bulb. Which over time was causing a very large amount of heat to build up causing the damage seen in the picture. All that needed doing was bending the pins back tight causing them to sit nicely onto the back of the bulb job done!

A quick look at the fuse box on top of the battery (just in case as I know these are common problem areas on Cupra's) But it was all good as the previous owner had a brand spanking new one installed!

Thats all for now more to follow soon, when it stops raining!

 

[turboboy]

is this a ko4 001 or a ko4 023? my bet is its a 001, take a pic of your turbo/down the back of the engine and post it up

 

[5cotty]

Here you go mate dunno which one it is myself, the previous owner just said it had a K04 on it =\ but i think it used to be a K03S ...

Anyway here the picture dunno if its what you wanted ...

 

[turboboy]

thats ko4 001 near enough ko3s not alot at all between them, the ko4 023 is very different, you will not see 280bhp out of this turbo, your running 225bhp because thats all that turbo will flow with no fmic ect,your need a fmic to see another 10/15hp and you wont get heat soak
