Stage 2 mods

[newtimecupra]

Been looking at mapping my Cupra what mods are needed for stage 2 and what kind of readings would I look to see?

Just on the side what are the standard rods rated too bhp wise?

Downpipe is only thing Needed for Stage2 but a induction kit will help

I'm guessing this is for the mk1 model???

 

[newtimecupra]

Nope mk2

 

[AndrewJB]

As above then the needed mods are

Stage1
Nothing

Stage2
Downpipe + Sports cat or De-cat

Stage2+
HPFP

Car would benefit from the following though:
Intake
RS4 valve
New sparks plugs


Obviously brake and handling mods are just as important

Thought Stage 2+ you HAD to have the S3/Aftermarket IC?

I believe it's not needed but it can open more flow for a few extra horses please quote me if I am wrong

it will help but its not NEEDED


I've got the following on my Stage2+
Neuspeed intake
REVO PCV Delete
RS4 Valve
APR HPFP
APR Stage2+ mapping
3" 100cel downpipe
uprated plugs (cant remember their name)

and will soon be adding
APR RFD kit
LPFP upgrade
REVO intake to replace neuspeed

The LCR comes with a new S3 intercooler so i havent bothered upgrading but might at some point probably to Eurojet or APR

Also alot of handling mods, are all of these NEEDED? no but every little helps

I beg to differ...

AITs rocket on std fmic from ones I have done and fueling is borderline also...
Stage 2 for me is fmic, downpipe, intake and HPFP

Why are you doing the the LPFP on APR code mate? They don't even need that for Stage 3 now.

 

[Didster]

What's this RS4 valve people keep talking about? Is that essential for Stg2+ as well?

I've heard of a few cars with Stage 2+ running with stock FMIC. Although I do know they poop themselves with clutches quite quickly.

The RS4 valve has been discussed loads of times in detail mate, but essentially it keeps fuel pressure from dropping below what is requested (on some maps). It was used to fix the flat spot in the old REVO code. GIAC still recommend it. Not sure about APR until Stage 3.

Loads of cars run stock coolers. Doesn't mean its optimal. I just did the S3 cooler on my old Stage 2+ Cupra and that made a big difference. I imagine something like the THS cooler will be even better.

Alex @ AKS has been running one for ages and done alot of logging on his Hybrid K04 VRS

Although its not needed its one of them "every little helps" mods that i might aswell throw in

Should be easily

My one and only time on the rollers produced 355bhp and that was with Stage1+ APR tune (Stage1 tune with the HPFP file added)

was looking into an upgraded manifold and came up with the APR RFD kit,do you know anyone with this installed yet m8?

 

[newtimecupra]

Does anyone know what kind of bhp the rods can take?

AKS Alex has it installed on his Hybrid K04 Octavia VRS with Revo mapping said it was a good bit of kit, Wee G is supposed to be adding it to his Stage2+ APR car aswell.

Originally i was told that it was a waste of time for anything under Stage3 but it appears it works well with Stage2+ aswell

Cant speak for all the engine codes but ive seen CDL engines with 450+bhp

thanks for the info m8
would it need a APR map tweak with this or is it just a bolt on,off you go?
