Drop in rods for the ED30 / S3 / Cupra
jonnyc:
Hey all,
As many know the ED30 / S3 / Cupra 2.0T FSI motor is a little different..
Different pistons and rods, using a larger diameter pin and non-tapered piston..
Anyways, im going to have a set of custom rods made for mine which will work with the stock pistons, for those that are looking for peace of mind when running more power but dont want to go down the road of having the engine torn apart, re bored etc etc..
Fitting should be around 2 days start to finish..
Price will be around £500 for a set of 4
Let me know if your interested now before I get mine sent over from the US...

Who's making them Jonny?
Why not just get the IE rods or some ready made ones from Carillo?
Why staying with the stock pistons?
Not going for race cams? - I've just ordered some Schrick race cams - makes sense to fit at the same time too :happy2:

No one does a drop in rod for that piston, thats why im having some made up..
I was thinking about cams, but up until now no one has proved them to make any more power at all.. In fact, im sure one of the guys in the states lost a bit of mid range and gained nothing up top..
Staying stock pistons purely to keep the stock CR and avoid having to fully build the engine, the difference in cost is a couple of grand in the end..
Im building the head too so it will be interesting to know.. When are you doing cams on yours? :smiley:

Cams will go in as soon as they arrive from Germany.
I spoke to Regal and they say that I should expect to see 15/20bhp in the mid to upper rev range and 5/10bhp on the peak figure. it is part of my plan on building the top end, which is ongoing along with....
Ported head
Ferrera valvetrain
Supertech valves
Cambelt change
Tensioner change
Water pump change
Also spoke to Revo this afternoon who say that the cams should be even better with an uprated turbo :wink:

Yeah couldnt agree more, in theory it will work well.. Its just the inlet cam right? Just in practice no one (that I know of) has made power with them.. But of course thats not to say that they wont make more power with the correct mapping etc etc..
Sounds like a plan mate!! You cant do all that and keep the K04 on there.. haha..
Just ordered a load more bits for mine.. Gooddddddd! :laugh:
