My Leon 1.9TDI PD Top Sport 2,75" FF exhaust and BT

[jonjay]

Nice to meet you Stan! Was really good to talk all things diesel tuning/seat leon.

Your car was lovely and I think everyone wanted your car by the end of the day. Look forward to seeing future updates and I might see you in may.

cool stuff

 

[daboy3000]

I'm vey confused about the clocks. Please can you explain in a little more detail what you did. Car looks ace by the way.

 

[Staszek20vt]

Because of sudden attack of curb hidden in snow I had to give my 18" Cupra R wheel for refurbishing, so I put temporarily 17" Cupra R rims.

and I also added Audi S3 sway bar

 

[jonjay]

Makes turn in much nicer now doesnt it Stan? You noticed that it rides bumps a little better too?

 

[Staszek20vt]

I had no chances to check it because of weather conditions, but if I will have a chance I will test it Maz, but I can say that I can feel a difference.

Regards,

Stan

Another "short" update
Thanks to Patryk - Dynosoft I get a set of shortshifters.

Below small comparison. Clean ones are custom rebuilt.

To change the takes me around 15 minutes. I really love this modification.

Thanks a lot Patryk.

 

[jonjay]

Side to side shifter might not be a good idea, wouldnt want to slip it in wrong gear accidently when going quick.

Well done nevertheless.

 

[jonjay]

Wheres the updates Stan?

Managed to get respray and new bumper on?

Re: My Leon 1.9TDI PD Top Sport now with shortshifters

Not yet mate. For over a week I'm going to Poland and I will try to do the new bumper. Hopefully I will get my 18" back with new tires. Still I don't know which ones: Toyo T1R or Pirelli PZero Nero (almost the same price).
New update on the car is:
- bigger washer fluid tank.
Probably on monday I will try to remove some deep scratches and stone chips (I hope that your G220 works well Maz? )

This looks proper nice mate, good work. Given me loads of ideas for mine. J.

Short update:

New Strongflex Urethane bushes:

Now the car drives very nice and it's not very hard. Very good modification for me.

 

[Staszek20vt]

Also I have done "small changes" under the hood

New 2,75" freeflow exhaust system:

On the car:

Free flow rear silencer:

3" downpipe and small piece of BT:

All those modifications gave me:

But due to stock clutch in the car we had to change some numbers and finally I have got:

When I will change the clutch we will change software again

All modifications have been done at Dynosoft. Thank you very much Daniel and Wojtek for your intensive work. Also I would likt to say thank to Patryk for your assistance, and Rafal - for your mental support - Thank you guys very much!

 

[jonjay]

Very interesting results. So you essentially gained 20bhp from your last dyno run?

Did you find any more lag lower down due to the bigger downpipe?

What do you mean by BT by the way Stan? Big Turbo?

 

[Staszek20vt]

I gained over 20bhp

I don't feel any lag at all. In my opinion car drives better than on stock turbo with program.

And YES there is a Big Turbo

 

[jonjay]

That's a very healthy gain however try and go to another dyno to confirm figures. That's a lot for a standard gt17 turbo. Also take some logs so we can see what the car is doing on blocks 4,8 and 11.

I am glad you gone for 3" exhaust. How are you finding the noise? I got 3" from tip to centre silencer then 2.5" from the rest.

Edit: hold on you changed the turbo? Which one?

 

[Staszek20vt]

I will do some logs for a few days. My exhaust is 2,75" only downpipe is 3". When I was driving from Poland to Belgium 140-160kph there was no noise at all. But when I accelerate hard and When engine exceeds 3000rpm then you can heare it.
I don't remember, tonight will PM you

 

[greesha]

Nice one Staszek. Which turbo is it ?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

nice 1

 

[Staszek20vt]

jonjay, greesha - this is a Garret GT22 turbocharger.
