Seat leon cupra R upgrades

[H4RR15]

Hi all i thought i would start a thread which will cover everything as im posting too many that i cant keep up with!

I have a seat leon cupra r mk1 running 274bhp and around 268 lbft torque. Mods put on inclue a 3"downpipe and decat with a back box all miltek, relentless v3 tubular manifold, ramair airfilter with heat sheild, Sfs oversized TIP, remap (unkown who done it)

I dont know who mapped it but i will be getting this remover and going to badger 5 for ny stage 2 custom map once i have all the upgrades on .
My next purchase will include a wellycooler size 600 x 300 x 78mm (ebay special) for £81 so not too bad. I will then need some pipe work which i dont know what to get if anyone could shed some light on this?
Im also after a boost gauge but again what one do i get because there are so many to pick from.

More posts on the 'build' and pictures will be cooming soon as ive got a few mods on

You should start a thread in the readers rides section of the forum.

Admin may be able to move this for you.

See if you can see an admin online and message them, on the home screen at the bottom should say who's online.

190924410625 - 76mm - 63mm reducers, you will need two of these.
221308537631 - 45 degree alloy pipe, you will need two of these, 63mm external diameter.
151103376441 - 90 degree silicone pipe, you will need two of these, internal diameter 63mm
190951861249 - 90 degree alloy pipe, you will need two of these, 63mm external diameter.
170731918190 - Silicone joiner, you will need two of these, I bought one and cut it in half as you cant see it, these are to join the 100mm of straight pipe into the system.
141098012210 - These are the jubilee clips I used you want 60-80mm they are tight but they fit, you need about 12, I used 13 as one of my joints kept popping off under boost so I put an extra one on there, which holds fine.

This is what i got.. ASH hoses on ebay

Can I just say please go for the 63mm diameter pipework as mentioned above. I didnt and went for the 75mm option and I bloody regret it. Headlight lamp failed on me last weekend and I had to change it....twas a bugger.

Thanks for that Priz91! Much appreciated, still waiting until the end of the month so i can get some parts ordered , tomorrow i will be taking the inlet ,throttle body and charhe pipe off to polish up just to make it look abit neater under the bay before my new shiny parts go on lol

 

[H4RR15]

Ahh i was going to buy a intercooler which has 3" outlets and inlets and i was going to step it down straight away out of it to 63mm (2.5") would this be ok?

 

[DrewCole]

Is that your Leon in your signature picture?

If so, looks like a Leon Cupra, not an R? LC rear bumper and wheels?

Only saying so, as the inter-cooler routing is different and will require different pipework.

No not that one pal that was my old one, ive now got a different one just havent changed the pictures yet because of the resizing i cant do it on my phone lol, il post a few pics when im allowed but i dont know how to? Lol

 

[H4RR15]

Ive got some parts all painted and cleaned down now for the engine bay, charge pipe painted wrinkle black, inlet polished ontop with the 4 legs pained a mild metalic black and throttle body in wrinkle black. I still cant post photos yet so as soon as i can il get some up

Also i have bought some stainless steel braided fuel lines 8mm id and 15mm od as mine were starting to crack so while the charge pipe is off thought it would be a good time to change them. Also got some black metalic hose finishers an-6 (15mm od) last thing to buy is the little 90degree pipe that comes out of the left side of the inlet, i have managed to break mine getting it out! Does anyone know what they are called so i can buy another????
