Finally getting around to putting one back up after being nagged to for ages. :innocent:
Anyway, this is how the car started out life.....saw an advert for her at Letchworth Autoways SEAT, put a deposit down over the phone....flew down from Inverness a couple of days later and she was mine.

Kept her as she was for a while before again beginning down the inevitable slippery modification slope!
I started with a few cosmetic modifications like kick panel protectors.....

Also upgraded the standard climate control unit to the facelift version (equivalent to switching from the mk5 to the mk6 versions.)
I also swapped the horrendous standard head unit for a RNS-510 which works nicely with the highline display.
Standard.....

Please excuse the greasy fingerprints.... :ashamed:
I then got carried away (like most of us do) over the next few years and ended up with the spec list as seen in the first post. Too many pictures to sort through in this department but it's safe to say the car is setup lovely for track use and she does get quite a few outings each year. :innocent:

Good to chat to you again earlier buddy, I'll be sure to try your Dii address next week.
I've never had a problem when changing my pads......always rubbed the disks down thoroughly and taken them out for a proper bedding in session. Last time I ran the RS2-9's for a week before going on track to ensure a decent layer of pad had been laid down. Not sure if it makes a difference but I was swapping from RS4-2's so the same manufacturer at least?
Cupra twins it is buddy, just mine that's got the stupid ASBO bodykit!

Can't wait to see the update!
BTW: I've just bought the S3 rear brakes for mine, did they make a difference on track? I'm a bit concern about the added weight.
The S3 rears are a nice upgrade, I initially found they slowed my lap times on track as they changed the way the car handled in the corners under hard braking. With the smaller Cupra rears the back end would "break away" more easily under braking into a corner and I found this to be the way I liked the car to handle. Once the 310's were on these removed the loose rear end under big braking so I had to change my driving style to suit. Now I'm used to it (and I've had the handling tweaked to suit) I'm totally happy with how it handles!
:driver: :laugh:
You really shouldn't notice any difference in the weight as it's very minimal! :innocent:

Not a huge cupra fan to be honest but i love this one, love that its driven properly as well.This one is especially Marmite due to the ASBO bodykit......loads of people hate them but it takes all sorts I suppose! :happy2:

A Polar FIS was also added to keep a constant eye on how the car was behaving from now on.
Whilst the RFD was fitted my injectors/inlets were cleaned and a new injector fitted to ensure everything was running well before tuning. The Ground Control Top Mounts were fitted and another epic Geo Setup performed creating such and amazing handling car, it's SO pointy!!
:driver:
Alex txt me whilst I was away and told me he wanted to keep my car! :scared: :laugh:
I was out of the country so Alex then delivered the car up to @rtechniki (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1870) to have him wave his magic wand over the ECU and see what he could do with this new hardware setup.
This was only the 2nd TTE420 Niki had worked on so the mapping was completed over a few weeks. This was to allow him time to develop and tweak base maps before moving onto more "balls out" ones! :jumpmove:
These were the results after the first day.........

I'd asked Alex/Niki to create a linear power delivery for me as peak figures are not what I'm after. I wanted to have a really driveable car that would perform as both my daily and track sl@g when required. To say that's what I've been given is an understatement, it's drives almost like an OEM K04 but when pushed just boosts and boosts with no sign of letting up. The WMI keeps the temps down (which you can see falling on the POLAR FIS) and now it's had the RFD done it pops and bangs a fair bit which I'm shamelessly over the moon about! :laugh:
The map obviously has all the standard R Tech Trademarks including switchable maps via the pedals, anti compressor surge and Traction Control mapping which is a revelation.......I've now got more power but can put it down more easily than when I was Stg 2+.......all this and with ZERO Correction Factors throughout the entire rev range in all gears :happy2:
The WMI wasn't even mapped in so the timing could be pushed harder but tbh I'm totally happy with it the way it is.
We did run into an issue during mapping which was the 200cell Milltek Sports CAT just couldn't get the gasses out fast enough and wasn't happy up at the top end.
Solution.........3.5" BCS DeCAT Downpipe has been ordered along with a full BCS system to boot. Once that's fitted it's going back to be wound up some more to see what it makes then! :innocent:
A couple of hints to other drivers who are in the know.........

Fantastic curves too, must feel great on the road. I've been banging on about just how good the R-Tech traction control mapping is for ages. It really makes a worthwhile difference with powerful FWD cars. . .

Quick question, everyone says you have to run WMI to keep the temperature down as the TTE 420 turbo generates alot of heat. I get that.
Whats the practicality of this though? When your sitting in traffic give the engine some WM/ on full chat for sustained period? Or am I completely missing the point..? Having got the kit, what are your experiences?
I'm considering BT VS hybrid having got a forged engine. Just trying to get some first hand experience from someone.

If you have a forged engine a BT is the right choice, i have the Precision 5558 on my car pushing 489bhp 546Nm with ease, forged engine and hybrid is overkill imo :happy2:

Been toying with the idea of 4wd converting it but tbh I like the way it handles/behaves just the way it is......
Obviously off the line its useless but I'm not about 1/4 miles etc....it's all about the trackdays! :happy2:

Don't know how 420bhp feels, but I do know that with Wavetrack LSD and 380bhp rarely I feel the need for more traction on track.
My friend Bogdanbd has done it, i told him the same. A monster project with no real benefit.
Post by: Bignod00 on July 03, 2015, 08:12:55 pm
Pfff, don't ruin it, 4x4 on track is added weight and transmission loss. :(I feel the same buddy, mine puts the power down so well that off roundabout or coming out of a corner it doesnt need 4wd!!

It was checked mate and showed no sign of wear. I'm feeling a little OCD about it though and it hasn't been changed for about 5k miles so it won't hurt to do it whilst I'm in there fiddling about!

Post by: Bignod00 on September 17, 2015, 10:46:27 am
Can you explain the "patched in hard cut limiter"? What is this, for 1/4mile? Do you have a manual box?Hey mate,
Cheers, Stevie.
I went down to Niki who "patched in" (uploaded to my existing ECU map) an update that added the Hard-Cut limiter option.
This isn't necessarily for 1/4 mile (as I have zero interest in that) but it would help as it really helps get off the mark due to the rev limit in 1st & 2nd being lowered etc.
Yes I have a manual box matey. :happy2:

Post by: Bignod00 on September 17, 2015, 04:12:44 pm
Cheers for the reply. So it limits the amount of revs you can hit in 1st and 2nd gear? Until you are rolling?Yes matey, the limit is lowered in both 1st and 2nd gears and you get a lovely sounding Hard-cut limiter when you hit it!! :pomppomp:
Stevie.

You're right about the pictures matey, I'll try to get some more this weekend at the track......videos too! :party:
I can't remember exactly what we did with the ESP coding, you'd have to ask Alex at AKS about that one.
If the yellow light is flashing then the ESP isn't totally off.....its just subdued a little. Now mines been coded the lights stays on solidly and the ESP will not cut back in AT ALL! :rolleye:

The new handling mods and extremely aggressive GeoSetup by Alex @ AKS meant that I was pushing even the most track orientated open wheeled cars through the corners! Once out onto the straights the TTE420 could be unleashed and I was blasting past cars that @ 2+ would've been out of my reach!
It was great that a few guys from the Forum could join me..... @monte (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=878) joined me on track in his gorgeous Eddy which was excellent to see stretching its legs. @Tfsi_Mike (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=293) & @Neilgti (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1306) joined us both for passenger rides in the morning which was a great laugh too!
I did get a bit of a wrist slap after my first session for exceeding the track noise limits of 95dB......the Javelin boys were good as gold though and just asked me to "go easy" past the noise monitor!

Cars looking fantastic mate, we should do a forum track day where we can get a good few of us in the paddock, do some passenger rides etc. Be good to compare setups and mods also.

It takes some amount of effort to get a decent number of people to commit to a date just to begin with. I attempted a sprint day last year and didn't get too far. Perhaps I didn't give enough time before hand. As soon as dates for Spring track days go online we could try again :)

Yeah I did think it would be a challenge considering it can be difficult just to get people to turn up to a show stand :laugh:
But yeah with plenty of notice and a track that's not too far from people I would think we could get at least 5 cars on track and maybe a few visitors.

That sounds ace to me guys.....it is always hard organising something like this as everyone's lives are so busy and different.There's always one isn't there?

Maybe if we do try (as Mike said) to get one organised as early as possible then it'd work?

Cracking banter boys, would love to race you guys being into me track days but your just too far away
Mate I live in Berkshire so these lot are 3-4 hours from me I believe. That's why we can maybe pick a more central track or just get a hotel which is what I normally do. Be nice to try a few different roads as well.

Been crazy busy with work and hardly in the country! :sad1:
I popped down to AKS Tuning on Tuesday and they changed my Cam Chain and Tensioner to ease my OCD stresses. Whilst there they also gave the car a once over and fitted a lovely braided hose that replaces the solid clutch pipe and swirl pot weak point in the engine bay.

The clutch feels awesome now, really smooth pedal travel and it's nice knowing that crappy swirl pot and plastic clips are gone.
Alex also showed me how to remove the airbag from my OEM Cupra steering wheel, god what a total pain in the hoop it is!!!!!

Glad to have finally fitted the new wheel, it feels amazing and really cannot wait to try it on track! :party: I changed the control module to a newer CH version which enabled all the buttons to work as it has 12 compared to the original 8. Unfortunately SEAT in their infinite wisdom have done something wacky with the G85 steering wheel sensor so I've had to order a slightly different version to fix an annoying niggle but it'll be all good in the end! :smiley:
Had a good weekend down at GTI Spring Festival at Santa Pod with a load of great guys, especially enjoyed the beers the night prior to the event at the Hotel!

The TTE is brilliant buddy, zero issues with it. Daily you dont notice the difference, almost OEM spool with only a slight increase in boost noise. Once you stand on the loud pedal though it's a different matter! :evilgrin:

The ASBO is set up excellently for track use and does enjoy a spirited fast road session occasionally but being FWD she's always struggled to put the power down at slow speeds in the real world. I finally had enough and decided to take the AWD plunge.
The AWD bits were sourced from an S3 being broken at a perfect time for me.
First the interior was stripped to access the floorpan.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FReaders_Ride_2016%2FAWD_Conversion%2Freceived_10154377867787244_zps00aqdjrm.jpeg&hash=038d33bc4c75504fee1c40b05cfae46776f12705)
Then the scary part..........

All welded up........

New supports added for the Propshaft......

The original rear subframe was looking a little worse for wear so was replaced by a much newer one before adding all the Haldex goodies.

I wanted the new AWD box to be bulletproof so it was fully stripped and rebuilt adding strengthening mods such as stronger shift forks and the input shaft mod. As I previously had a Quaiffe LSD I wanted to keep one in this new box, this time I chose the Peloquins High Torque option.

Unfortunately I needed to change my almost new BCS exhaust for ANOTHER new BCS exhaust but this one being the AWD version. Some custom modifications were of course needed and this one is super loud!!!!

There were so many other bits that needed changing along the way too that I cannot be bothered to list but safe to say it's all sorted!
It's just so epic having traction now, 420bhp with no spin is intoxicating.
All work carried out by AKS Tuning in Bedford so big thanks to @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) and Chris.

Are you now keeping an eye on things that are taking more stress? As sh*t as wheelspin is, it probably helps keeping things from breaking.

I would be very keen to go down this route once my car is beyond 300hp and 300ft/lb.
Would you be happy to give a rough idea of what the conversion cost is? No worries, and totally understand if you'd prefer not to on an open forum :smiley:

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. Yeah, it's just so refreshing being able to just grip and go in all conditions now. I'm 100% keeping an eye out for thing like you said, that's why I got the box etc strengthened whilst it was out. :happy2:
Mega update after having the TTE420 fitted!
:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
No comments, really! :congrats:
Thanks buddy. It's really made me happy and it was well needed after the 420 like you say. Forged block and big blower next! :innocent:
Ahhhh it was you having this tweaked at R-tech back in July before I had my GTI mapped!
Awesome piece of kit, bet it's incredible with the AWD now.
Ha, small world buddy! :laugh: You happy with yours still? :happy2:
Yeah, I'm still getting used to it.......will take a while TBH.
I'd love to see some videos. Standing starts, rolling starts from 30mph etc. Must be close to or under 4 seconds to 60 with the TTE420. I'm not a great fan of 0-60 bragging rights, but I'll be really honest... it's because I'm fwd
I'll be sure to get some videos for you then buddy, it now shoots some ridiculous flames so I'll get some of that too! :innocent: :laugh:
I'm the same, never been interested in launching but probably because it was FWD as well. I hadn't even thought about the 0-60 time until you'd mentioned it........hmmmmm!
:driver:
Wow!! Amazing update. Please tell us more about it??

Post by: Bignod00 on October 18, 2016, 09:05:46 pm
Sweet work mate, glad I got a 6R and saved myself the time and heartache of chopping my old GTI up! You seen that there's a TTE480 out now that TTE420 owners can upgrade to for quite cheap? Combined with RS3 injectors you should be good for a considerable bit more power from your engine...
I've had the ASBO for 8 years now, she's gone too far to start it all again now. :laugh:
The TTE480 requires a forged engine so if I do that it'll be a Nortech GTX3071 kit and some serious power. :pomppomp:
Awesome build mate - really enjoyed catching up on this (despite seeing it in AKS FB page) :happy2:
What's next? More power? :evilgrin:
Cheers buddy, I knew as few people would've seen it on there that's why I kept the update fairly short!! :happy2:
Yeah, more power is next........heart set on 550-600bhp. :innocent:

Totally understand. 100%. Such a cool conversion. Fair play to you for having the stones to pull it off!!

Seeing stuff like this makes me more tempted to go hybrid on my s3 but it's plenty quick enough for me so far, as for 0-60 times mine at stage2+ can get under 4 seconds no problem so yours should be a good few tenths faster than mine with the extra power off the line :driver:
Enjoy the new found grip :wink:

Wouldn't need a forged engine if it were a CDL though, right?

Have you spoken to Hurdy? He was 500+ with a BT (think it was the Nortech) on his CDL. Stock innards. Although he did say to me that he wouldn't have taken it any further without a built engine. Anyone ever 'found the limit' of a CDL I wonder?Wouldn't need a forged engine if it were a CDL though, right?

Ahhhh it was you having this tweaked at R-tech back in July before I had my GTI mapped!
Awesome piece of kit, bet it's incredible with the AWD now.
Ha, small world buddy! :laugh: You happy with yours still? :happy2:
Yeah, I'm still getting used to it.......will take a while TBH.
Yeah love it, finally got the new F1 Asymmetric 3's all round now instead of the ditchfinder Toyo T1R's and it's made a world of difference.
I bet, completely different driving style I guess. Room for plenty more power now though :driver:

Have you spoken to Hurdy? He was 500+ with a BT (think it was the Nortech) on his CDL. Stock innards. Although he did say to me that he wouldn't have taken it any further without a built engine. Anyone ever 'found the limit' of a CDL I wonder?Wouldn't need a forged engine if it were a CDL though, right?
TBH pal, I'd personally not run a 480 or bigger on any engine code if it wasn't Forged. :scared:
LOL, that wasn't on stock internals.

At the end it wasn't, but for a long time it was stock. Was running lean to get over 500 bhp on the fuel setup it was running.
We are running his old turbo kit on another Golf R tuned by RTech and seeing dead on 500 bhp on a fully stock engine. It made 540 bhp and 450 lbft on the base map before it was turned down.

That was some great reading over 5 mince pies and 2 cups of coffee. Epic build and picked up some good info on the TTE420 that I was after :smiley:Glad to hear you liked it buddy, it's currently back at R Tech getting some final tweaks to make the most of the AWD but will be back soon! :jumpmove:

Got the car back yesterday buddy, she drives brilliantly and it's awesome to finally be able to make the most of the last round of modifications carried out by Alex at AKS.
Niki has as always done me a map that I can use on track as that's what the car is built for, off out to have a play in the cold air this morning!

Gonna get a cheeky blyton or caddy booked then chap, for a real shakeout? :party: :love:
Yes pal, I'm hoping for a quick blast out around Cadwell as they've got an ASBO friendly 105dB static noise limit. :happy2:

Whats the difference between a track map and a usual stage 2 map niki would do for someone?

I bet your loving it more than ever now!

I am buddy, it's epic.
If we're talking stages then according to the R Tech website I think mine is probably a stage 3. Niki has mapped mine with track use in mind so hasn't gone totally balls out to avoid generating too much heat etc......
