first time ive seen that intake
how does it comapre with what everyone else is running?
oh welcome and nice colour motor!!

Nice Car Mate :happy2:
Almost as nice as my Race Blue Hatch………But not quite :P :evilgrin:
I still have mine Ian and you can look at it on the 16th if i turn up :smiley: :drinking:

Its very similar to the ITG, but we make our own pipework and use SFS for the hoses. We only use the non oiled pipercross filters and also found we get better results without using a headshield. The shield blocks off the main airflow to the filter through the slam pannel.Nice Car Mate :happy2:

Thanks. I think :P
I cant fully answer the questions until I get the turbo back and have it all tested.
Our one will have uprated bearings, larger comp wheel and a small cut back on the exhaust wheel. We are NOT using a K24 or a K26 comp wheel as there are much better wheels available.
You will be able to use your old K04 unit as the bearings are changed and I can get new cores if shafts are broken. No need to buy a new unit. This should keep costs down. Im still guessing around the £995 + vat region, but maybe less. It should last longer than the standard unit.
Not sure on injectors at the moment, but I think the standard S3 injectors will be ok.
More info when the turbo come back.
Alex, I like the look of the intake kit, is there any advantage of having the pipes ceramic coated?
Have you done a direct comparison with, for example, ITG Maxogen, which puts the filter in its own compartment?
I see the top pipe has a mounting plate but does the filter have some kind of fixing bracket too?
And lastly how much does it come in at, and is there any member discounts/GB available? :innocent:
You can tell me to piss off if you like!
are you changing your engine internals. I was under the impression that the k03 BWA engine isnt as strong internally as the k04 engines due to the higher compression ratio.
DanGB bent piston rods on his with the APR GT28 which IIRC was only running 391Hp with WMI when he upgraded from his K03 leon

I have a set of IE rods to go with the standard pistons im my box of bits at work. I have seen a few bent BWA rods. The K04 engines have the slightly lower comp, and run 21mm rods that are quite a bit stronger.
Im going to do the rods and fit the turbo at the same time. Maybe get the head ported at the same time :happy2:
Nice one.
Id be interested in a group buy but maybe the ceramic is a little too expensive.
Does the KO4 engine have a modded block and stronger head too?
If I go for the induction kit I might fabricate a meshed support like the itg that would aid air flow too.
Let us know Alex.
Maybe one of us could do a review as well.
Justin
well hurdy never bent his rods or melted any pistons running 450Hp and 500Ibft torque on nitrous, he just stretched his head bolts and blew the gasket

Do you have any experience of what the limits of the K04 rods and pistons are? I have heard it to be around 420 BHP? Would torque not be more of a limiting factor than BHP?
Very nice Estate !!!!
How are you finding the TT wishbones? am considering some of these myself.
Were they an improvement and do you know what the camber was after fitting them?
Yes that was another question from me, what advantages and have you noticed?

Has the ITG got a meshed support?
I think the K04 engines have the same head, block and crank as the K03 engines.
Alex, sorry I wrote that wrong, I meant I would make a meshed support that looks like the ITG Foam one.
Maybe not even Mesh just a fabicated support.
Let me know what you think of the GB and review thing.
I may come up and have a look as I am not to far away from you.
Justin
No I think he is popping it over on Tuesday.
Can't wait starting to get things sorted now and once I have all the bits I will start a members ride.
Have you got the KO4 back yet?
J
How come you went for the Helix + SMF Alex over the more seemingly more popular Sachs + DMF combo?
^^^
Thanks :happy2:
Have been thinking about clutches a lot recently as I think I will get an uprated one for my S3 before I go to 2+ as I don't want the hassle and downtime further down the line. How noisey are the Helix SMF's?
what about the hybrid and rods etc. when are they going in?
Will you be using a Revo file, Alex
odd that you are getting no clutch chatter . i have the same flywheel and pressure plate . different friction plate mind and get clutch chatter

Ooooo nice brakes... :happy2:
When you building the engine up, Alex?
Its going to be the start of next year now. Ive got way too much work on customers cars to have my car on a ramp for a few days. I really want to get it done too.
Alex, did you use standard hoses or get yourself some braided?
I probably won't bother fitting the rears I have as there isn't much difference in size and I wanted to keep it as OEM as possible with the shrouds and the R32 ones don't fit.
Did you just use standard pads or DS2500 like we were discussing?
Picking some standard discs up tomorrow until funds allow something better.
Look good though mate.

How well does vinyl cope with caliper heat?
Have you got braided hoses on the r32 fronts? And if not do you want some?
Some news. I've booked off two days in August to spend at work going the turbo and rods. As I'm honing the bores and fitting new rings its going to take a week of running in to finally know what the hybrid is like. After having the turbo for so long I am fooking excited to get it fitted.

i love the idea of a .400hp octavia estate, its genius
Right then. The engine is built and the hybrid is fitted. Just running it in, but even at 1 bar of boost its rapid. Pics to follow later.
Great work :drool:
Disturbing the stories of the crap on the inlet valves. I hope the catch can helps.

Not had any pm's from ya. I need to get some prices for the coating, but it will deffo be more than the wrap. I would have thought around the ton mark.
Lovin the little update. Those rods are awesome. If you get time can you explain how i get round fitting those 20mm rods to my 21mm s3 8p? Do they need redrilled for the oem pistons? Thanks, Stevie.
Time for aslight interior trim change. DYNO RUN BECAUSE THE GUYS ON THE GTI FORUM ARE STILL WAITING
Must be due an update by now Alex paticulary the performance box stats as we all know about the dyno lottery :laugh:
Ast I heard he was busy mending his better halfs seat Altea. ;-p
They look pretty beefy Alex. What are they supposed to do and would you notice more difference without fitting the ARB's?
:party:
Is there an update for manual? :evilgrin:
I know that car. It's a close friend of mine (Cristian). It was a GTI, and he bought the K04 from a friend of mine also. So no hybrid in this one :D
420HP is impressive
Alex, is the race file the one that will request 2.0bar when on boost 9?
In your opinion what needs upgrading internals wise to support a hybrid turbo?

420HP is impressive
He was with 9 boost, 9 timing, 9 afr. And at 9 timing, the timing retard was 0 :drinking:
At the wheels the power was 360whp
not sure how i missed your build thread Alex :ashamed:-- :notworthy:

Same map you have on the Golf. On the ed30 engine it should be just about ok as the hybrid will only hold a little more boost than peak higher. Deffo need rods with this map on a GTi engine even with normal K04 imo.
The hybrid is just a larger comp wheel rather than exhaust wheel too. Just not worth going much larger on a K04 as the housings are too small and it will start producing more heat than power. Only really worth going hybrid if your original turbo has died as its not a massive gain.
busy with 5 kids :signLOL:not sure how i missed your build thread Alex :ashamed:-- :notworthy:

There is your answer. 360 at the wheels is amazing! :laugh:
Great project. What size and ET are the BBS CK's? What tires are you running?
How much would this be and how easy to fit to Leon Cupra that curently has forge valve?
Thanks

Ok Ok. I found it very easy to fit!
£106.51 for the valve
£6.60 for the hose joiner
£10.20 for the silicon hose
Few quid for the hose clips
You have the other parts, but most people would also need the N75 and the boost tap.

Hello Alex,
My name is also Alex and I also own an Octy vrs :signLOL: . I want to do the same mod as you with a big bov and i need to know how much in/Hg is the engine vacuum so I can choose a spring for a Tial q BOV.Thank's a lot, great car by the way.

Cars looking awesome btw Alex (BDM) :happy2:
Nice :happy2:
Who makes them?
They just made my little Gentleman twitch. :happy2::signLOL:
Sounds like you will be moving a large quantity of fluid to get them working.
Will you be fitting the uprated master cylinder?
I take it the 345mm disc is from the R32? What wheels can you fit with them?
This car is getting better and better. Can I ask where you got your boost tap/stop end from?
Sie
I'll try one. :smiley:
What cost are we looking at?
Car is looking sweet :happy2:
Great work! :congrats:
Would you recommend re gapping the NGK 8s on mine Alex?
Great work! :congrats:

Ta Mike :drinking:
Deffo worth gapping the plugs down. From .80 to .64 should do the trick.
Also the steely eyed ones amongst you will see that the TT hubs also have the same thickness caliper mont lugs as the ironnhubbed gti so technically all GTI BBKs fit..... cant be said for S3 hubs

What is the benefit of dv relocation? Just service access if it needs replacing?
You really only need two 35mm hose clips and one 45mm iirc. Remove the dv housing and bracket too.
Alex i have just bought a 2nd hand super size forge it came with the pipework running from the intake but nothing else. See the little vac pipe (maybe 6mm) that runs to the inlet mani what is the attatchment on the end of the manifold that i would need, will i just phone forge and say i need vac/boost hose and the attatchment? Thanks, Stevie.
Is this the bracket that hold the OEM DV to the Intake Manifold? If so you just need a small socket set and iirc a T30 torx bit to undo the 2 screws from underneath.
Most of the k03s cars had t-30 bolts, but the later cars had a stud held on with a 4.5mm socket with the bracket held onto the stud with a nut.
Just spoke to forge to order the supersize dv kit, i have the valve but need the rest. They could not understand how i could run the s.size dv on the 2.0tfsi, they had never heard of it before?? They kept saying yeah the 1.8t, no i promise you it is the 2.0t. If its the 2.0t then you will need to run a different map for the s.size. :confused: I have used your pic to send to them it fitted with the little inlet mani adapter. Stevie.
Hi Alex,
A little question regarding the tt hubs.I want to put the tt hubs on my octy as well the only thing is I have S3 control arms and camber plates so I don't need the extra camber the tt arms give, the question is will the tt hubs alone modify the front track or the 26 mm extra width is given by the tt arms plus the hubs?
thank you
When are we going to be seeing figures for this?
Do you guys not have a dyno at BDM
Just been reading through you thread and I see someone that has my taste in music! Also has a lovely car! Looks mint mate!!!:happy2:

Hello Alex.
One question about the TT hub: is the ball joint mounting point lower on the TT hub? Or is the GTI ball joint mounting point lower than the TT one?
From you picture I could only tell that the steering mounting point is lower on the TT, but not much else.
Thanks! :drinking:

I've been thinking about what to do next apart from fitting the R8 calipers when the 18's go back on.
And I'm going to try and fit equal length drive shafts using a half shaft. I know of another car the the vag range that has this as standard and I already have a spare shorter shaft. All I don't know is whether the block has the same mounting points and how the half shaft fits to the gearbox.
I will keep an eye out. I'm looking for some TT bits at the moment.
The equal length change will need the half shaft, a bearing that mounts to the block and a driveshaft cup.
Alex, any info regarding the TT hubs?
Alex, any info regarding the TT hubs?
I'm going to try and get the tie arms fitted tomorrow so I will know as soon as they are on.
Unless Jake beats me to it.
I've also got some TT driveshafts to see if they differ to the stock shafts.
TT steering arms are currently being fitted, but its more of a ball ache than I first planned. Not enough threads for the arms to fit into the standard rack. Not safe enough for my liking.
I'm going to try and fit the TT steering rack now. Just hope it codes ok.
I'm fitting the rack as we speak so I can let you know if it works.
It's given me a headache already!
Almost done. TT rack fitted and coded/adapted/basic settings complete. No faults now and it works. Now to do the alignment before I starve.
Here is a pic of the extra length the TT arms have

Got some more pics to upload in a bit showing the rack differences.
Mike, got your text. I will reply in a bit :wink:
The racks are identical apart from the threads. The TT rack in a way has been cut down from the factory. The standard rack could be modded to be the same.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv489%2Ffordkaracing%2FIMAG0538.jpg&hash=88d3f328f88555ab6dfc29b54150451f3f031e32)
You got it. The Golf rack needs about 5-6mm taking off it. Must be done as flat as possible so the arms contact the rack perfectly.
Or chuck a TT rack on. Feels a lot nicer than my old rack. Also meant to have a shorter turn lock to lock. I don't know if that's true or not.
Still can't get over 2 degs neg camber so I'm going to sort some adjustable top mounts.
Any problems with the driveshafts? Are they longer on the TT?
So I chucked the BBS's back on tonight after getting some new front tyres put onto them today. Great to get them back on and now I can fit the R8 calipers.
The TT hubs have made the track almost too wide to have the BBS's fitted, but I thought I would see how I get on. First big bump in the road and they bloody catch. They have a cut themselves a new groove line too. :fighting: Tomorrow there will be some wing removed!!!! :mad:
Ordering some of these to bring the top of the wheel back in and to add some more camber:

Yeah that's them Jake.
Just setting up as one of their dealers.
Which are the smaller ones Jake? I'm having clearance issues.
Ive been wanting to make up a solid bush to replace the smaller dog bone rubber bush for ages now. The standard one splits really easily and the powerflex seems a compromise. With a solid one not available I thought why not. Its not fitted yet so testing will start on monday. If im happy with it then I (personally) will make a batch of ten to sell (who is up for a group buy maybe) :happy2: The bush is made of aircraft grade alloy.

It's been on for a while now. Made a noticable improvement, but has increased transmission noise through the car. I'm testing the Vibratechnics bush when I put it on this week to see how it compares to the solid one.

Just amazing. Transformed the front end and the wheels tuck under the arches perfectly now. Tad more camber at -3 degs! Sharper turn in, fantatic in the wet and the KW's are working as they should. No more annoying rubber top mount bounce.
Injector 3 also replaced and no more missfire.
On another note, I can confirm that catch cans dont make bugger all difference on the carbon build up in the inlets. I will upload some pics on monday showing the amount of build up I already have.
Changed the oil to the Millers CFS 5w40 NT that I keep in stock.
Just the S3 cams to fit now when I have time.
Looks good Alex, and just to confirm, the S3 cams being the same as Cupra and ED30 cams :happy2:

How does the Hankook tyres handle the power that your car is running does it grip?

Do they clunk?
:worthless:
Looks good Alex, and just to confirm, the S3 cams being the same as Cupra and ED30 cams :happy2:
I believe the part numbers are slightly different which leads me to think they are different profiles. Something I need to check really. What is the engine code of your Cupra engine Jake?
Looking Good Alex, how do you find the difference between stock and uprated bushes?
I'm not convinced yet, so you might tip me over :wink:
After seeing the XB braces ive ordered some T-45 so I can make my own version. :drinking:

....That's interesting. Have you seen a UNIbrace XB in the flesh yet? I might be up your way next week.
Why did you change to the TT driveshafts?
Why did you change to the TT driveshafts?
Im running the TT hubs, wishbones, steering arms and rack which gives a wider track and could possibly cause more strain on the original cv joints. I had the shafts kicking about for a while not thinking they were any longer until I finally got around to checking with the measuring stick.
Just need to find some for Jake now :love:

....Everyone i have spoken to says that changing bushes makes a positive difference. Isn't it a long and therefore expensive job?
I guess at over 100,000 miles my OEM bushes will need doing at some point.
Just read your whole thread and love what you've done!
Good work sir :happy2:
Whilst driving to the otherside of MK on Saturday to weld some seat mounts into a mk2 golf race car I'm helping run, the fooking clutch master cylinder decided to split again. Limped all the way home after doing the work and managed 30mpg, the best I've seen for a good 6 months!
New cylinder will be with me in the morning under warranty again. Will see if I get time tomorrow evening to fit it.
Am I the only one this has happened to?
I have the helix smf with uprated cover and 6 paddle drive plate.

Worth avoiding then if you've had issues?

The clutch is perfect. Just the sh*te plastic master cylinders that seem to be the problem. I've fitted quite a few over the years and I'm the only one that seems to have ad an issue. The original master never failed, but I changed it anyway. Only the new ones that have failed. steering wheel
It's an upgrade for MC? Or it's a new stock one?
Yes Alex. Adrian did the adaptation and everything works perfect :D
Awesome pic Alex - car is looking great.
Can't wait to see how you get on with the Loba :happy2:
New valve. The Forge Supersize. Fitted these in the past and they have worked very well and respond even faster than the D valve. Even holding boost better.

Got it fitted last night and a massive improvement noticed straight away.
How does this fit?
Saying that the new revision G is definitely an improvement over the D! Glad I changed over! ;-)

Dom, how much was it mate?
I think it may be the better option on reflection.

What sort of price is on that mate if you dont mind me asking.
Hi alex have you fitted the ground control top mounts to bilsteins before ?
I was just wondering if they fit the upside down shock arrangement as i heard they didnt ?
Also do they bolt on to the OEM tri mounts or is there any drilling notching required like the mk4 platform cars on these
Basically just wanted to know if they will mate with B14s and an easy DIY modification Free install that i could do on the drive

First time I got one of the valves in for a 1.8t build I was also like 'WTF'!
Iirc all the bits needed come to around £150.
Ta for the pic :happy2:
Get it back on mike, try tb reset. A must yours has everything else lol

New top mounts have arrived:

These should fit straight onto the KW coilovers which have the standard size spring. They should also fit the standard shocks and springs.
The only thing left outstanding is to finally see the dyno graph for the REVO race file your running. :popcornsoda: :popcornsoda:
It's lower than 370.
330 :innocent:
Without being cruel and making me read the whole thread again Alex what hardware do you have on the car?
Without being cruel and making me read the whole thread again Alex what hardware do you have on the car?
Usual stage 2+ hardware pluss k04 hybrid, Ian :happy2:
JKMs Octy with stock K04 has 370 on their DD dyno I think.
Which dyno you go on though? APRs??
JKM's car is a K04 converted TSI.
JKM's car is a K04 converted TSI.
Oh does Alex's Octy not have the new TSI motor??
What would cause the torque to be low? Still not bad power!?! I's be happy with that...
Sure it was TFSI at this age vRS...
Mike, Sy, and h4rdy will both confirm its strong.
Mike, Sy, and h4rdy will both confirm its strong.
Its no fabia, thats for sure :grin:
Its really smooth and id say it feels like it has alot more than 315lbft. Id say it feels slower than Mikes Cupra, but then that would be expected since its an estate and that Sy was sat in there for the ride, so loads of extra weight but it certainly didnt struggle to pull it along.
Id have expected more power though.
Tbh, i was more blown away by the cornering grip you had ON ROAD TYRES :congrats:
edit
I see on APRs FB page that there was a K04 Converted 2.0TSI that made 360hp on their MAHA, so yours is making as near as dammit the same power, and its pretty well known that the K04'd TSI is stronger than the TFSI K04. Should have took mikes Cupra over for a comparison on those rollers.
More about the R32 rear end please Alex :party:
How's the canister delete going?
Would the space made by canister delete be a good place for said Forge WMI tank that I Definately won't be buying? :evilgrin:
Alex, i have just looked at pictures of BTS racings R and it has steel rear subframe, is it only the mk 5 R32 that has an alloy rear subframe?? :confused:
Would the space made by canister delete be a good place for said Forge WMI tank that I Definately won't be buying? :evilgrin:
No, but I'd be tempted to use the existing windscreen wash reservoir as a WMI bottle and use the space from the canister delete for a small windscreen wash bottle. You will use more Water meth than windscreen wash over the same period and the water meth will stay cooler in the windscreen reservoir and the windscreen wash will stay nice and warm for those cold winter days up by the canister position :happy2:
thats where most if us on here, that have meth kits installed have then fitted, in the boot. Not heard of any problems. Mine works fine. I may stand to be corrected though :happy2:

Could meth be located in the boot or would this create too many problems?
Small Update.
Changed yet another clutch master today. Makes it number 5 now. Trying to sort a twin plate setup from Helix now.
Also just fitted a new in tank LPFP. Its an OEM pump from another car. Idle pump load has dropped from 45% to 29%. I will get some logs up once Ive gone them, then reveal what pump it is.
Have you measured the flow of the other OEM pump? 300l/h? :smiley:

Have you measured the flow of the other OEM pump? 300l/h? :smiley:
Tbh I havent measured the flow. Going to log the pressures in a bit.
Ive been wanting to make up a solid bush to replace the smaller dog bone rubber bush for ages now. The standard one splits really easily and the powerflex seems a compromise. With a solid one not available I thought why not. Its not fitted yet so testing will start on monday. If im happy with it then I (personally) will make a batch of ten to sell (who is up for a group buy maybe) :happy2: The bush is made of aircraft grade alloy.

In the end I swapped this one out for a vibratechnics version. It's a rubber version. I keep them in stock.
Yours the stock arm from factory?
The middle of the three bolts robin. The bolt on the left doesnt have a bush

....That's what I thought might be the case, Rich :drinking: So that middle bolt does have a bush in the forward end of the dogbone (now BSH on mine).
These turned up last week. Now I just need to get a day off to get them fitted.

Whats up with your engine then?
Cheaper option would be to get some dm rods and mahle motorsport pistons from me. Rods are in stock along with arp head studs.
20mm is fine. Im doing a 550bhp 1.8t stroker build at the min using the dm rods and mahle pistons.
When are you going for a bigger turbo then, everything else is ready to go isn't it :party:
Anyway will it be Gt28 or GT30 series

Got a new twin plate clutch setup being made which needs to be done before June.

What about the compression ratio and the advantages/disadvantages of dropping it to say 9.5:1?
I'll check the Mahle option out.
The THS look very good as well.
Arrow keep 21's in stock I got them next day, very nice bit of kit
Mahle sport make the pistons to match too (6 weeks wait though as classed as custom)

THS dont do rifle drilled rods.
I have a whole host of bits In stock if you want to pop over. Do the dsg service too if that still needs doing. Call me rather than text at the min.
£420 is a ridiculous price for the revo.
Overall its improved low down and mid range power. Holds boost for longer. Peak maf before and after is identical to the old kit at 275 g/s but peaks higher throughout the rest of the rev range.
Looks and fits great too and to show a gain against the other best kit on the market is good news to me.

What was wrong with the R8 calipers, Alex?
What was wrong with the R8 calipers, Alex?
Nothing. They are up for sale now. I always like to run products I sell and the vRS keeps telling me it wants to go floating.
Cant go floating with the R8's due to the bar that is mounted to them.
They are 370mm brembo discs on fully floating bells. The calipers are Brembo GT Senior 4 pots which have the same piston sizes as the TTRS calipers. Full kit will retail at £1495. Ready in approx 4 weeks.

Very nice :happy2:
Would those discs work as replacements to standard TTRS discs with TTRS calipers?
Intake kit change. Was running the ITG that I copied but ceramic coated.

Must be warmer down there than up North. Still winter boots weather in the NE.
What Hankook model are these new tyres then Alex?
Car looks good on grey wheels. Very good..
what did you do with the ceramic coated pieces off your ITG intake :evilgrin:
those CKs clear the big brakes OK Alex? do you have anything done with the shifter? I hear you do the shifter bushings, thinking of them for my VRS

They will just clear without spacers but I would advise using a 3mm or a 5mm. Wheel weights do cause an issue but with some clever positioning and balancing they are good.
I do a shifter bracket solid bush kit. Back in stock in a week or two.
loving the up pipe,maybe there could be a group buy on soon for those?????????? :happy2:
f*ck all torque. Like 360 lbft. Still 10 lbft more then Jake with his 4xx. I honestly believe it's a torque limit in the map that is holding it back.
It's off to revo in the next month for the rfd to be finished, the hard cut limited to be sorted and now also find out where my missing torque is.
keep us updated! and how much for one of those intercooler/tb pipes made up
Less torque than APR ;)

He holds 300 LBFT from 3k to 6k, where I hold 300 LBFT from 3k to nearly 7k. Basically more area under the curve.

I've been a bit slack on the updates recently. Not really had any time, but got a few bits done.
Original TB died and luckily I had a larger one sitting on the shelf ready to go on. Fitted on perfectly and also added a WMI spacer plate. The up pipe was also screaming to be replaced, so fab'd up a new larger bore version in alloy.

Performace wise the car picks up boost better and there is more throttle response too. Not sure if its really make a massive overall power gain.
hey alex,
will this up pipe fit my ko4 cupra?
Bet this thing catches a lot of people by surprise on the road very nice build indeed.
I dont think its running that much camber on the back... but it is very low :laugh:
And yes... its bonkers quick!
There are some mint GTI recaro's under the seat covers. Still got to wire in the heated seats. I make my own airbag resistors for these now.
Might have just ordered:
Mahle Motorsport 83mm 21mm pinned pistons
DM Forged 21mm pinned rods
APR head and main studs
Full Supertech valvetrain
Spare head will be dropped off with JNL Racing for an extra special porting job.
Then I'm stuck between going for an HTA3079, or a GTX3576. The engine that I'm going to build will flow too much for a GTX3071 with the porting work. Head will be specifically flowed to suit either the HTA or the GTX. HTA will push 500 at low boost and the GTX 550 at low boost.
Stage 1 of the new exhaust system is here, a nice 3.5" BCS downpipe.

I thought your engine was already fully built piston/rods wise.
3.5 inch?
Who will be supplying the software for this Alex?
3.5 inch?
Yeah... .5" bigger than 3" :wink:
How come BCS? why not make your own?

Such a good price for the BCS it wasn't worth me making my own.
The rest of the exhaust system will be custom made by me to show what I can do.
why s3 injectors? i take it you will be running an 8 injector setup then? and which manifold?
do bcs supply this downpipe with oem flange?
theres so many mixed opinions on this.. i dont understand why everyone uses these rs4 injectors then apart from apr who so say modifys the s3 ones? i have also seen them quote s3 ones are not able to flow as much as rs4 ones when not modifed
and nice.. looking forward to seeing everything come together! going to suprise a few people that car lol
The only way APR can get the S3 injectors to do up to 500bhp is they raise the HPFB to 150Bar as i see it. Higher pressure is equal more fuel in the same period of time.They seem to think they modify them.. same as pag parts in the us.. rs4 injectors they couldnt do anything with as there lazer welded, theres alot of info on it on golfmkv
Few bits have turned up today. Just waiting for the inlet valves to be made.How come your changing pistons Alex.

Want to build the best possible. These pistons are stronger than the cdl pistons, and 83mm so the engine gets a slight bore from 82.5mm.

Looking forward to seeing a final graph.. May help me decide wether to change to rtech or not, will it be on a built engine to see full potential?

I'm sure it'll be worth it, n doubt your Haldex plans will come back online once this has all been installed :driver:
How come your going for another engine build? Are your current uprated internals not upto the potential output you have planned?
How did you remove the charcoal cannister? I want to do this on my Ed 30 but coulden´t find the info in your thread...
Nice build by the way! Really impressive!!!

How can you map it out then? My tuner have my car now so maybe he can do it right away!
Excellent progress there Alex, regarding the top, the OEM slides for the top, why not just remove the diffuser and the sides would just slide in and if at a later point you want the diffuser in again you could do so?
I know you're a all or nothing but others that might not want that approach could go back and fit the flapper again.
+1! :popcornsoda: :pomppomp:
:party: :party: can't wait till she's built!
Alex you got a rfd kit on the shelf?
Balanced and matched Mahle Motorsport pistons and DM rifle drilled rods. Need to gap the rings then they can get built up.

Block now bored to 83mm and honed to perfection. Block has had a very slight skim too. Will get painted up to look better than new.

Valves are on their way over, so the head can get finished. Won't be long until the engine is together.
Body shop work is coming along nicely. Not giving away what's being done until it's finished.
Bored to 83mm so is that a slight increase in capacity too?
Rifle drilled? Whats that mean?
New wheels have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much clearance to the brakes. Very very happy!

The rear of an A3 r32 :)
The rear of an A3 r32 :)
Nice, i assumed that due to the unpainted rear calipers it was of an A3, what about clearance with the extra track width, are there room for it on the Skoda? :smiley:
2012 TT rear. Which means the hubs are alloy and the right offset for a 4 pot and separate handbrake conversion. :evilgrin:
Is this gen4 haldex then Alex?
