Title: Possible oem fuel pump upgrade
Post by: snapey on October 17, 2009, 12:56:37 pm
Have a read at what it says about the cupra r in this article.

http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Seat-Leon-2.0-TSI-265-Cupra-R/244162/ (http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Seat-Leon-2.0-TSI-265-Cupra-R/244162/)

I don't know any facts but I'm guessing it's a possible upgrade if it's the case as appose to apr etc.

us scn boys are already on it. Need to wait for a cupra r to hit the showroom so we can pull a vin number or part number off the pump to see if it is any different from the one fitted to the normal cupra, and then also need to get it flow tested to see what t is capable of.

I'd have thought that by the sounds of the uprated parts..... possibly the same one that their throwing in the golf r?

snapey,

Your correct mate, same engine as the new Golf and Scirroco R are getting, if this pump turns out to be different over the one we have as standard, I am going to get it instead of the APR etc.

APR = £650 +

OEM should be like £150-200

How many $millions did they reckon they invested in that fuel pump test rig of theirs??

They'll be pretty p***ed if you can go and get the same thing off the shelf from VW for a fraction. Oops!

I wonder if the VAG group have addressed the issue of increased wear on the cam follower with there version of the uprated HPFP.  This seems to be a problem on all the other uprated pumps.

IIRC the new engines have a new HPFP that uses a roller type follower insead of the bucket to address the wear issue, this could be the differences they are talking about. The HPFP in the current S3 flows enough for 260 odd bhp so why would an uprated higher flowing pump be needed for the 261bhp Cupra? :smiley:

Just read your thread on vwvortex CupraK1, made me chuckle. You do have to laugh at these things, lets see what happens.

I have a sneaky suspicion VAG/SEAT are underrating the cupra r and it really has a few more bhp than that. We will soon find out though as it wont take long for one to end up on the rollers

Wayne you should post the press release where it says the cupra r will feature a UPGRADED fuel pump instead of new. Arin from APR might think when the say new they mean the revision k pump.

VAG is fully aware of the fact that the standard pump has trouble keeping up, so I wouldnt be surprised if they did rectify that.

Ha ha, 'Tex forum gold - takes all of about 5 minutes for handbags to start being waved and horses**t statements such as "VAG has not created a roller follower style high pressure fuel pump for this engine"... defensive FTW.

Fairs doos, VAG might not have made one - but how in the hell would they know??

I would think you're on to a non starter as It's rumoured to be the TFSi engine ala' S3.
