White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car

[pudding]

I see you got some podium finishes, which is great 

I was looking at the APR intercooler, very expensive    Maybe the Wagner is a good alternative.  I don't track my car, I'm just trying to run more timing with the Revo 2+ tune    S3 cooler starts to warm up after a few hard pulls and timing hits -3 with T5 on the SPS settings.  I like to see zero pull 
Good to hear you don't feel any lag with the Wagner!

I did wonder about that with lithium ion batteries.  I want to move my battery to the boot so I have more room for intake design and use the TT-S MAF to move it away from turbo turbulence.  The MAF gets a bit of oil on it from the rear PCV.  How about this bad boy, about the same AH rating as stock - http://www.lithiumion-batteries.com/products/12-volt-lithium-ion-batteries/12v-75ah-lithium-ion-battery.php    But it's heavy and expensive 

You will have no problem with genuine AP Racing discs    Back in the day I used those with Pagid RS15 pads, which was a great combination on the road.  Would be even better on the track!

Yeah, manage to win the championship this year - race class. But this thing is growing fast and I'd like to be there next year too.

When I bought the intercooler I've seen a thread with a lot of graphs and tests where this intercooler was clearly superior, can't remember where exactly now, but you can't go wrong with it.
I'm racing with B9 T5 F9, 0 timing retard at 35 degrees Celsius, but I also have extra water and oil coolers.

Unfortunately that link doesn't work now. Lithium batteries have a lot of starting power, their problem is capacity. The best lithium batteries are https://www.liteblox.de/, with carbon fiber case, but I think my right kidney is cheaper. 
I'd recommend something from http://www.go-aliant.com/ ,they seem to be the best value, but make sure to check PB eq chart, a 20ah lithium battery has a higher PB equivalent.

Love the car,,
would also like your coilovers but i haven't been on here long so I'm unable a contact you in the sales.

[teo_parvu]

Thanks four your interest man. Unfortunately I cannot contact you here also. You can contact me on Facebook maybe:

Today was a good one for me, my OEM paddle shifters and Stance+ droplinks arrived. They are nicer than expected, seem like a quality product:



I've ordered a Carbon fiber adjustable splitter.

[teo_parvu]

My splitter arrived today, but I cannot find a rear wing anywhere 

[teo_parvu]

The next step is to improve the aerodynamics of the car so along the splitter I've ordered:
 - VW Cup rear wing
 - 1K0825237P - under-body panel - to improve airflow beneath the car
 - Ford Focus RS MK2 style bonnet/fender vents
 - regular Leon 1P rear bumper which will be cut for maximum airflow and minimum drag
I will complete the under-body paneling with 0.5 mm aluminium sheet.

Nice upgrades! Later share pictures of them fitted if you can.

[teo_parvu]

Sure!  It will take a while, I'm still in the DSG conversion phase.

The DSG cooling is done, hard to find o good position for the pump:

[teo_parvu]

Last night I had the first test drive with the DSG. I now have MRC DSG software, but Cupra's software doesn't recognize the gearbox, it works but it is far from ok. The gear changes are slow and it never downshifts properly. The paddle shifters don't work neither.
Unfortunately Revo can't solve the software issue so I will change the tuner. For this I need RS4 fuel injectors and BOSCH 044 LPFP.

Another problem is that the cheap ARB links are clunking and it drives me mad. I've heard that Whiteline are no better and Racingline are damn expensive. Maybe Superpro....? What are you using guys?
@Shoduchi, you've told about using MB Vito W639 droplinks, could you please tell me where can I find more information on this? I could only find that they will fit MK4 platftorm. Tx

[Shoduchi]

I've read on Facebook 3 or 4 guys recommending those drop links for our cars with coilovers. I've recommended them to a friend in my country who has BC Racing and he confirmed me that they fit.

Love your coolers setup. Hope you can sort the DSG shifting. Why not a DW65V pump instead?

[teo_parvu]

The coolers are overkill for today's weather, water stays at 70-80 degrees C. I will have to cover some ducts.



I've missed this view:



Thanks for the info man, now I'll to decide between Superpro, I found them in Portugal at a good price 150 euros and MB Vito OEM end-links.
The only reason to use Bosch is that the new tuner has experience with it. He told me to get the RS4 injectors because it it the way he works. The gearbox will remain MRC tuned. I hope to get this fixed soon.

Congratz with the DSG mate!

Did you have to wire anything to the central electronic module?

[teo_parvu]

Thanks! I still have a lot of software issues to solve, it is functional, but slower than manual now. Fortunately wiring to the central electronic module was not needed.
