which turbo is equipped in my 2005 FR

[AviTurbo]

it's a petrol 1.8t 2005 ibiza
is it k03 or k03s?

thanks

Every Mk4 Ibiza FR and Cupra has the "k03s" turbo capable of 210bhp easily without overdoing it. If your tuner can't get 210bhp from the FR he's doing something wrong

How safe is it run at that power, as in does it reduce turbo life? I'm asking as I have the milltek turbo back, Forge TIP/Throttle hoses and Split-R, PD160 with Green filter...this is the next mod...sorry for hijacking!

 

[RpR]

I dont know if the diesels have the same turbo actually, I'm sure some of the oil burners in here will know!

I wouldn't like to run 210bhp without adding an inter cooler.
I think you'd be running some risks...

Saying that I dont know if the petrols have one or not.
I dont think the derv ones do (And I'm ex derv.)

FR has the smaller SMIC which should be ok'ish for 210bhp aslong as you dont push it hard for a long time i guess. But I'm deffy getting a FMIC for mine, should give another 10-15bhp aswell

You run 234bhp without an intercooler.
Jesus H Christ,
My intercooler fluid gets damn hot and its only 225-230ish

 

[RpR]

Got the stock SMIC, intake does reach 80c when pushing it

intercooler fluid?
are you sure you dont mean your coolant?

 

[CJRamze]

Is it the fluid that runs via the intercooler?
If so thats correct, Intercooler fluid.

Then I have no idea, Its a rather thick pipe and I.... I'm sure it runs to the intercooler.

You know how a intercooler works right? It cools the inlet air! What do you suppose is in that big tube?

 

[cupra.al]

them two pipes run to the intercooler but neither have fluid in them.

 

[CJRamze]

I knew that *shifty eyes*
Mine gets seriously hot however. Warms the whole section of the bonnet and wing

 

[CJRamze]

Oh and i heard hissing coming from it once, I thought it must have been water boiling. Must have been the rain hitting the engine block however.

 

[RpR]

The tubing itself will prolly be over 60c no matter what. A good FMIC can keep the inlet at about 30-40c.

Diesels run the SMIC on the sport and FR, cupra's have the FMIC
