Welcome back Jon
Still put a build thread up in this forum
Where though Andy?
I feel it's natural home is in the MK7 area. There should be an "other VAG" members section. :happy2:

Yes,
I loved my ED30 and this is basically that car updated. The 7R is a great car but when I see one now ( which I see a lot of!) I don't regret going for the Cupra.

The mk6 obviously didn't struggle for traction. It's interesting that you've gone back to FWD.how come have gone for a seat and not a mk7 r John? Just fancied a change?

Hurdy builds are associated with big power, and you've earmarked 400 as the first target.... But I expect more soon after. I think we all do. Or am I wrong?
What are your plans in terms of getting the power down? The diff will go a long way, but maybe this is a different approach to the all out acceleration of the mk6? Will 400bhp be a sensible limit, with more focus on handling for track work rather than mad 0-100 times that can only be attained with AWD? Is the idea of a turbo upgrade out of the question?
Always love reading your progress anyway pal. Look forward to the updates

400bhp was also my initial target bhp for the 6R! :laugh:
It is a starter target, which is typically exceeded by just going for stage 2 ( intercooler, intake, downpipe and maps)
Getting power down is always a challenge with fwd, although the Cupra covers a lot of the basics......
MQB platform is much stiffer than the mk5/6 platform.
ARB's as standard are stiffer than the mk5/6 platform.
The MK3 Cupra comes as standard with an LSD
It also comes with DCC (dynamic chassis control) as standard, so uprating the suspension isn't really needed when you can simply set the suspension to "Cupra" mode and everything stiffens up.
The car is a fair chunk lighter than my old MK6R too. That weighed 1479kg with half a tank of fuel and without me in it. The Cupra weighs in at 1346kg with a 90% full tank and without me in it. That weight will be reduced by at least another 50kg by the time I have finished.
The lower engine mount requires an insert for sure to aid control of the engine movement once a map is on. The OEM engine mounts are okay up to around 500bhp.
I have also invested in some Michelin Pilot Sport 4's to go on my 17" Oz Ultraleggeras to aid traction, but having said that the OEM 19's are shod with Continental contisport 5's at 235 section width and have great traction.
The car even stock manages 5.3 to 60mph, so is a fair chunk quicker than official figures quoted at 5.6 to 100kph.
0-60 will be under 5 seconds with just a stage 1 map.
The main advantage of fwd is that it is a solid, relatively safe car to use on track and a great base car to work off. :driver:

I would not hesitate going back to a Front Wheel Drive, 4WD Might give you amazing launches, Awesome 0-60 Times, All the Grip you could ever want in all Weathers.
But its not all about that.
I would also go as far to say my next toy will also have a Manual Gearbox too, I want to have some input and actually have to work to get the best out of a car. Not just press the Accelerator Pedal and leave the car to do everything. There has to be some element of Driver input.

Best terminal of 115.56.
Better than I ever did on my ED30 at Stage 2+ with all the suspension bits added, stripped out and semi-slicks onboard!
To say I'm impressed is an understatement!

Currently running 400+bhp and 400+lbft. :driver: on Statllers conservative dyno.
Holds 390+lbft from 2500 to 5500rpm.

Post by: Hurdy on May 27, 2017, 03:01:17 pm
The car now goes as quick as it looks. The power and torque comes in very early in the Rev range 390 lbft and over from as low down as 2600rpm all the way to over 5500rpm, peaking at over 410lbft at just 3krpm and holding to 4krpm. Power peaks at over 410bhp with over 300bhp on tap at just 4krpm.
How does that translate into speed?
Well I can repeatedly run launches from 0-60mph in sub 5 seconds and the run from 60mph to 100mph is in the mid 4 seconds.
Next week will bring a trip to Santa Pod, where I will be hoping for a time under 12.5 and a terminal of around 118-120mph. This will be on full weight and road tyres using 99ron.
What is next?.........
Hybrid turbo.....you lot will love this!
Race map........high octane race map to suit.
Brake upgrade......Not 100% on this yet, but it will be appropriate for the car. :driver:

Mighty impressive times for FWD. Credit to the ability of the car in the first place that it'll take that power and put it down.
Hybrid sounds interesting. Hopefully not at the expense of too much at lower revs. And traction might become more and more of an issue... but I'm sure that won't put you off!

The tuning company can limit the power and torque by gear, so i can have a limited 1st and second gear with full traction and then let rip in the other gears. Traction will be an issue, but my right foot meters that! :laugh: :driver:

Yeah, it will be limited, but I will be most likely looking at 4 pot Brembo's and the Clubsport S discs With Brembo pads.

I do like where this is going though. Less rotational mass with the 17s, less with the two piece 340s (than an OTT disc anyway), less overall weight compared to an AWD equivalent. 1300kg is genuinely lightweight these days. Hate the cliché, but... less is more.

Saturday was a great day, but I was having issues with power loss on spinning the wheels down at the start. Ended up with a 12.7@115.68mph which was a little slower in both terminal speed and time but was still a new personal best.
Sunday I went to Inters and decided to do the 1/8th sprint even though I have fwd and was up against a lot of fwd modified motors. The Cupra did really well and better than I thought......even with the issue of power loss after wheelspin the car managed a 0-60mph best of 4.26 seconds, a 1/8th best of 8.35 seconds and a best terminal speed at the 1/8th mile of 96.3mph.
The big bonus here was winning the Seat category and coming away with a trophy. The car was actually quicker on the day than all the FWD cars in the Golf MK5,6 and 7 category too. :driver:
Found out thanks to Alex Kerr that there is a function you can turn off with VCDS that stops the ECU killing the power when the wheels spin in 1st 2nd or 3rd and this will be a big help next time around when I'm on drag radials.
A big thank you for Steve at Statller for lending me his lightweight alloys shod with R888's and for e-tuners for providing a stonking pair of maps for the engine and DSG.
here are a few photo's of the weekend.......

The 6R made 7.8-7.9 for the 100-200kph sprint at 500bhp. The Cupra currently does 8.1-8.2 for the same sprint at 400bhp. The TTE470 has been proven to dip the 100-200 run down to mid 7's....so quicker than my old 6R.
Power should be 450-470bhp with similar torque and good response from the hybrid turbo. Power peak should move up to 6600-6800 rpm and so the DSG will have its rpm limit increased to around 6900-7000rpm.
Hoping for a very low 12 second run on the 1/4 mile, if not something beginning with 11. :wink:

Yes, the 290's are sought after over even the 300's as they come with a lot of kit and still get the proper handbrake!

Sorry if you've already addressed this earlier in the thread.... but how do you find putting the power down before the mods VS after the mods ? Would you say the car copes well or does it struggle in first gear if you try and feed the power in to quickly ? The 4 wheel drive system is the only reason I'm leaning towards a Golf R MK7 more because most of the time it's damp in England. I would prefer a cupra as you don't see much of them on the roads and I see about 4/5 golf r's everyday

The car copes well with the extra power. The right foot has to be tempered in the wet but overall I prefer it to an R.

Keeping torque to a reasonable level for FWD the E-Tuners stage 3 mapping on the TTE470 went very well. 472bhp (478.5ps) 422lbft (572nm). Silky smooth power delivery from the E-Tuners stage 3 DSG map with crackle overrun,7krpm shift points, higher clamping pressure and quicker gearshifts. Initial results show that the TTE470 makes boost around 500rpm later than the OEM turbo ( feels better to drive with a fwd car) but holds power and torque longer. On the OEM turbo, the tuner pegged the Rev limit at 6250 as the torque and power were dropping off significantly by that point. The TTE470 makes power and torque beyond this and so the Rev limit was lifted to 7000rpm. Torque is still over 405lbft (550nm) at 6000rpm! :driver:

All those ponies and still stock cat back too. :surprised:
The EA888 gen 3 are really great engines. Keep us posted with your time improvements. :driver:

Not a bad result. Would you do a full GTX3071R swap again or do you prefer the OEM hybrid turbo route?
Garrett has just released new smaller turbos capable of low rpm spool and great top power. Something like a GTX25 capable of pushing 500 CV. :scared:

Not a bad result. Would you do a full GTX3071R swap again or do you prefer the OEM hybrid turbo route?The TTE470 turbo is even better suited to the Cupra DSG than the OEM turbo. In drive the car came on boost before the next gearchange on the OEM turbo, whilst on the TTE the transition between gears is much smoother.
I'd not go GTX3071R again as the Cupra is FWD and the TTE is just right for this car. :happy2:

Good sounding stuff, I'm thinking a TTE420 for my 6R but the price gap between that and a GTX3071R setup similar to your old setup is close.
TTE420 is the most efficient of the TFSI hybrid turbo's and a good choice. I'd probably go for the GTX though! 😋

Enter the brake upgrade......TTRS calipers, VBT carrier adapters, Clubsport S discs, RS3 vented dust shields, Clubsport S brake ducting, HEL lines and Brembo pads. Gloss black with the rear calipers painted to match. Bonus is a 14+kg weight saving over the OEM brakes and all on the unsprung mass. :happy2:
Next up, REVO engine and transmission mounts. The stock ones just don't cut it now, so to reduce driveline shunt these Are in to help stiffen up the driveline and reduce wheel hop.
Just need to decide on suspension tweaks now!........ :driver:
