[tobi20v]

Saturday:

The project still goes on . I finished the bracket of my FMIC. At the moment its only hold by two rods, i will put two shorings from behind the FMIC to the bearing.

The FMIC and the bearing:

Then i painted the logo of our website www.southside-racing.de on the FMIC

same color as my hoses for the font

and the finished one:

i really like it

The left pressure side of the FMIC is already done, the right is in progress, because im waiting on the gaskets to mount my throttle.

Not really finished, but i hope, to drive at the next weekend

Regards from Germany, Tobi

So,

the pipes are back from the exhaust builde. He made a great job by the way. Now, the FMIC is mounted 80%, the fence in the front is also done. The next days, im going to clean the engine, repolish the pipes an the intake manifold and im make a plate abvoe the axhaust manifold, to prevent the huge amount of heat.

here the pictures

progress will be displayed

regaaards, tobi

[tobi20v]

Thanks for the comments

I hope my imported jetex Filter will soon arrive the plates are already ordered. The next step will be a new 76mm Downpipe directly to the middle silencer. Maybe I'm polishing the strut brace today

[tobi20v]

Hi mates

a lot of things have been changed actually i've installed my jetex filter. The following days i get my 76mm downpipe made by the exhaust builder. Next step are new wheels

I think ill update today or tomorrow with new pictures.

regards from germany

Updates

Jetex filter mounted, both "warm air protection plates" finished. But, ill have to put the batterie into the back, the filter doesn't get enough fresh air :/
If you have any tipps, just let me know!!

Pictures:

Tomorrow, ill respray the plate black.

The protection plate for the exhaust manifold is nearly finished, ill show it tomorrow.

Regards, Tobi

Some changes

i bought new wheels in 7,5 x 17. Reason is, they are ~ 7 kilogramm, so about 20 kilos less weight, yeah

In the next few days, my porsche brake will be fitted with 305x28mm discs.

Regards, Tobi

 

[tobi20v]

Hey mates,

did some changes again

My engineroom is nearly finished. I'll have to put the battery in the boot, and create a new heat adsorbtion plate. But so far im really happy with the changes:

Regards, Tobi

Hey mates,

winter is comming and the concepts for my baby are beeing made. In the spring, it will be remapped. So far, i have to do a few things.

1. The brakes, a friend of mine was designing and producing brake calipper holders, for the 305/28mm discs in cobination with the Boxster 986 front calippers. A very fine project, is the 280mm disc for the rear. My car will be the project car, for a special 280/10mm disc, that will be mounted at the rear.

Left side is the prototype holder, right side the oem Seat one. As you can see, a few things have been improved, besides the fact, that we use a material, that is more stable.

The comparison between 239 and 280mm (really heavy )

2. The Engine. Im actually not really satisfied with my K04 Ibi. I suppose, the mapping is really bad and the engine doesn't get enough fuel by the injecotrs or the pump. So i bought 380ccm injectors and a 3 bar fpr and a walbro 225l /h pump.
Next Problem, our tuner's in Germany say, that you cant drive more than 350NM (260 ft-lbs) with standard con rods. I accepted that, because of, i won't be satisfied with 350NM if the care is able to produce more than 400NM.

So i have to change my con rods. Im pretty sure, that i'll take some integrated engineering, but i don't know, what i should do with my pistons. Has anybody ever trimmed his pistons to reduce the compaction ? Or would you prefer a thicker cylinder heat gasket to reduce it ? I Know a tuner that supplies gaskets to reduce the compaction to 8,9:1.

So,as you can see, i still have a few plans, but i would be happy to hear some sentiments from you to my ideas.

Regards, Tobi

Looking good, Tobi

The OEM rods limmit are more like 350lb/ft

Hi Mates

Some new stuff

First of all, i made a new presentation Video of my Ibiza and another one, i pushed against an RS4 B7 V8 but i had to stop, because the corner was very hard and the street very bad, i didn't want to risk anything, i already had enough pleasure

My calipper holders also arrived:

I will mount my Porsche calipper as soon as possible, the 280mm rear brake construction is nearly done, pictures are comming.

If anyone need calipper holders for Ibizas, Golf MK1,2,3 and so on, you can contact me, i can help you

Regards, Tobi
