cheers, no reason why it shouldn't, being built with realistic power, not going crazy FWD. will eventually get LSD too, loved it in my old car. just a case of getting some funds together!

flybikeslee

Gave the car the bufty of its life today. all washed, clayed,polished and waxed with dodo juice hard candy, came up really well and looks 10times better in pictures!

flybikeslee

decided it will be going to jabbasport to be mapped, seem the most knowledgable and has told me what else i need for the build, every other company didn't seem to have a clue with hybrids

flybikeslee

little job, old badges were looking haggered from age so replaced them with some fresh oem ones, genuine parts, wasn't paying Ł15 a piece from skoda though! its a Skoda FFS. Ł6.50 ebay

old vs new

flybikeslee

s3 maf here, have modified the air box to fit, will need to squeeze it into the k03s tip but it will go with a bit of wrestling me thinks!

looking nice mate!!

Ed1

Sweet, looks much better, i love those wheels!

TOMMY_RS

looks well nice mate
what power is it running at the moment?

Russ Payne

I like it, Alot!!! good work mate

flybikeslee

still standard i presume, aint been mapped yet so obviously not getting the full potential from the mods

Exhaust is on, sounds just right! nice deep grumble similar to that of an s3, not intrusive, and still quiet in the car!. Performance wise it feels better through the midrange, the cat was probably choking the turbo a bit mind. Will get some underneath shots when i can, quality is perfect! can'y thank jeff at pipewerx enough!

Zetecfiesta

really nice car mate!

flybikeslee

Managed to squeeze the s3 maf into the K03s TIP with some gentle persuasion....took me about 2 hours of wrestling with a bit of heat, a file and some lube to get it in mind!

bought a few clamps for here and there, mainly where the maf goes in, dont trust the jubilee clips i have, and its a bitch finding them so big and the shape deforms etc so got some of these



stuff from forge turned up too, so will bin off the secondary air system when i get a chance!

flybikeslee

Got a few pictures of the back end quickly, was piddling down so really couldn't be bothered. may raise it a bit into the recess, still haven't decided.








other goodies arrived too

S3 (larger) maf


blanking plate


Spring to handle more booooooost after map

flybikeslee

so...jobs today, removed the secondary air pump that runs for the first 90 seconds of starting and makes the missions better...well cause theres no cat there....

sh*te out




Undersealed the car and got a couple of pics of the decat




also made a better video with the camera mounted in one of the front grills

removed some more uneeded stuff from under the bonnet, all simplified with a pipe from the dumpvalve to the inlet. going to order a newsouth inlet gasket to stop it transfering heat from the head too. whilst i have the inlet off think i'll be painting it crackle black, thats the theme ill be going for under the bonnet me thinks with a few other things to match.



put resistors in place of the sensors and no codes as of yet

flybikeslee

Turbo has been collected today by CR turbos, should be back by next weekend hopefully. Will get it bolted on asap.

also ordered a Newsouth inlet gasket, stops heat transfer to the inlet to give lower inlet temps, have heard good things about them and a member was selling one cheaper so thought what the hell, inlets coming off for a lick of paint either way so!

flybikeslee

Stubby aerial, reception is crap but don't listen to stereo anyhow...


de-wipered the rear, never used it anyhow


had it on the rollers today too




graph...


nice base to go from for future mods, which by the way has started, turbo is at CR being hybrided

borrowed some signs aswell in typical scouse fashion....

flybikeslee

Turbo back...





and s3 maf squeezed in with some effort



just waiting on a few gaskets and studs and ill get it fitted

Top car mate.I do like these.

flybikeslee

ta glenny boy, bit different int it


inlet off and painted black. fitted injectors and FPR



and a big jumble of hoses...

flybikeslee

Didn't get chance to take many pictures with the turbo off, focus was on getting it done.

Turbo off





bolted back on exactly as the old one came off. Haven't fitted injectors till it gets mapped so i can drive down. Had a run locally to chack for leaks and so far so good, not getting mapped till next week so i can make 100% sure everything is right. Boosts a little higher due to garrett actuator so i haven't been driving as normal, last thing i want is a melted piston. spool up is slightly louder on the new one due to it being unsilenced but nothing major.

flybikeslee

Decided to tidy up behind the plate today, rather than having wonky holes decided to go for one big one.... angle grinder and a file...came out pretty well i think, will be hidden by the plate and only taken off for track etc so not majorly fussed, may even try a smaller plate offset and open it up a bit more...



Engine cover needs modding to clear the dump valve...but heres the engine bay so far



Modified recess in front with no plate





and how she sits

Average MPG on way

light entertainemt on the way




Figures




MPG way home....


Fly fest


End time


Modified the plastic cover to fit over the dumpvalve too


Overall really happy with the figures, drives like a totally different car. under 3k drives as it did and returns good mpg. then over 3k to 7400 (raised the rev limiter) pulls so hard and sounds mental. Grips really well in the dry too which is what i was after, useless power if it only spins up. Boost is at 1.4 then settles to about 1.2

Big thanks to Jabbasport for mapping it, bunch of friendly guys, great premises too. Sorry no pics on the rollers as they dont let public in there i presume for health and safety.

Spec list is as follows


Octavia VRS

K03s hybrid (CR turbos) with garrett actuator
Forge front mount intercooler
Pipewerx turbo back 2.5" system.
Bosch green injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Derestricted air box with pipercross filter
Forge 007p
Silicone TIP
N75 and other crap removed
S3 maf
Modified crash bar and bumper


Next things to come with be ARBs porsche brakes as i dont think these will be up to track abuse and possibly some coilover....we'll see

Engine bay really looks neat mate...you must be well chuffed with those figures... a high flow mani might see you a bit more in the future too!

flybikeslee

yeah over the moon buddy, drives really really well. looked into a high flow mani but to be honest the price of them put me off the idea of one for the gains assosciated.

furry

looks stunning mate, i love my vrs bought it back in 2005 after i sold the escos

flybikeslee

seen you on briskoda me thinks

furry

Sure have fella!!

flybikeslee

Quality!

There's a couple of these on the wirral modified.

flybikeslee

Few last pics of it on the BBS rims, yup they look good on the car but just been fancying a change of styles, have lots of people already interested in the wheels with a provisional sale already so no point asking.
LCR splitter fitted too to change the front a bit.

peak at new rims, some people will already know what they are...






New wheel bolts expected during the week so wheels should be fitted for the weekend, would have been on now but FK decided to send me the wrong ones....buggers.

Can't wait to dust it in the olop next summer

flybikeslee

you couldn't dust a shelf

flybikeslee

Firstly....i am aware it needs more lows, coilovers are the next purcahse. And yes the old wheels did look great but i felt it was time for a change. All opinions welcome as always.
