LCR - Warranty or IHI turbo? Help!

I may be very interested. What sort of cost is involved?
I take it that this would include the AM FMIC and LCR 3" exhuast

NiK said:I have a 2004 Leon Cupra R about 6 months old and have reached a predicament (hope thats how its spelt)! Do I stop modding and keep my warranty in tact or do I go full wack and have the following:
- Jabba IHI stage 3 turbo upgrade
- AM 3" exhaust + sports cat
- AM FMIC
- AEM Cold air induction (from space saved with single IC)
Id Flog it and with the money i saved buy something more powerful and RWD to begin with. There is only so much you can do with FWD. Figures are great and all but a good solid RWD will kick ass much better. Ever thought of a S/hand M5?
I aint come across anything that can live with stage3 ihi. I know a m3 the new model and one before cant keep up. And M5 cant either even though there a little quicker than the new m3. There are without doubt cars quicker than ihi but they are few and far between. As you move up (power wise) it takes an even greater car to do u over. If i was doing it all again i would get an Rx7 and really get some power from it.

Standard Skylines are slow anyway. In reality there a 300bhp car with 1500-1600kgs of weight and in some cases 4wd (200bhp/ton). Thats slower than a p1 or stnd Evo6. I think the skylines are prob all round the kings of the tuning world. But in stnd form are a barge they need modding to get going. As i said theres faster stuff out there than IHI but i aint found anything yet, but this is because you have moved up the scale and cars of this nature are few and far between compared to 150-200bhp cars.
i was looking at cost of about 25k
not at 200hbp
an LCR and 4-6k for modding it pts you in this price bracket

beside whats power without handling?
do u really thing that a 300+ BHP lcr could handle as well as a skyline?
and most skylines stock RR'd at around 340 not 300

I thought Bill would see off Rs4's once rolling say 30-120mph. I heard they were being overtaken on some of the long straights on some tracks. But i could be wrong.

I aint seen any stnd Skylines dyno at 340bhp. But i aint ever really looked hard would be intresting to see a link to a stnd Skyline producing 340bhp though.
Even at 340bhp its still only 212bhp/ton. Nothing impressive.
0-100 in 11 secs and 0-60 in 5.4 would indicate to me that in gear times are savage.
As for being slow round corners, ask Tiff Needell why he couldn't shake a yellow shopping car off round Castle Coombe in a Radical SR3. Tiff was probably less impressed to see him go past down the straights, Radical being quicker through the corners........I also recall a post by a seriously miffed M3 CSL owner
