16v Cupra

[V666]

Im glad you guys have got the know how, cause Im sure Ill have more and more questions as the build continues. Ive started on a list of performance parts needed hopefully to be achieved by early next year as the budget (read as other half) dictates. Apperently its not a sound investment or something?Anyway

-Jenvey direct to head ITBs 45mm, with injector size unknown at present, more reserch needed as is the fuel pump.
-Some serious head work
-Kent cams 296 duration (3000-8000rpm) 11.3 valve and cam lift, with associated cam followers pulleys etc
-JE pistons and Pauter rods specs again unknown, but Im sure theres brains to be picked!
-balanced, knife edged crank
-4 branch exhaust manifold supersprint stainless
-2.5" straight through exhaust with rear muffler (need to find out emission law?)
-mega squirt II v3 and a ton of wiring issues Im sure.

Anyone know of a good electonics guru as Im sure Ill need one!

This combination is amazing. Been using these two brands for many of our engines. Your rod lengh will be 159mm if 9a?

Cheers anything else you recommend to help keep the strength in the bottom end.

A standard bottom end will handle 8000rpm. just put a decent set of ARP (or equivalent) rod bolts in it.

Biggest problem I see with converting to carbs would be ignition control.

You'll also need to figure out how you're going to get fuel out of the tank.

Very true, Pete. Some people miss the basics..

If your going this far with an engine, why not spend 800-$900 dollars on Pauter Rods? PS: Pauter rods already come with ARP bolts.

Nice one Velly thanks for the advice. Remember seeing his Ibiza what a noise!! and the speed!

For some ITB action and fueling etc.

Steve newing is rad bloke. My olman has run some of his stuff:

Throttle Bodies, EFI Fuel Pumps, EFI Regulators, Wolf 3D Engine Management Systems, EFI Hardware

For injectors etc:

Powerflow Performance

My Dad has run a lot of there stuff and recomends highly.

It Aussie made and buildt here in Eastside Victoria.

Just a word of advice mate.. Listen to Velly (he has been there and done it- Along with countless mates of his..) and Waterboy (his old man has been there and done it, and still is).

You'll find that some people give out a lot of advice when they have no personal experience.. Take it or leave it, just saying...

someones been drinking too much hateorade.
