1.6tdi FMIC experience

[dunny]

I know this a Cupra orientated forum, but you dont ask you dont get so...

Ive searched all over, but havent found what i was after.

Is there anyone on here who has uprated the FMIC on a 1.6tdi? If so how difficult was it in terms of pipes and fitment etc?

Thanks in advance!

Why do you want to uprate it?

 

[dunny]

See i did the original post on my phone and that is supposed to say 'upgraded' not uprated. Fail.

So has anyone upgraded the FMIC on the 1.6 for when i start to squeeze more power from her?

 

[MJ]

the 1.6 has a large intercooler and really isn't an area that people look to change.

 

[dunny]

Fair enough, im looking to hopefully push out around 200bhp eventually. Does anyone know what these coolers are rated up to bhp wise?

 

[MJ]

They'll piss 200 bhp.

There is a 206 bhp yeti 1.6 TDI that has an s3 intercooler. Think it also has a GTC1549vz turbo and a milltek exhaust, but not sure about the mapper. There is a vid on YouTube somewhere where the guy talks though the mods and does a little road

Edit found the link https://youtu.be/xnTAWKyu9oY

The only difference with the s3 intercooler is it has alloy end tanks rather than plastic. The golf gti, leon cupra and skoda octavia all have the plastic end capped one also used in the diesel and they easily cope with 200bhp+ output in standard form.

Yeah Ive seen what he has done with that, I am going a similar route. Same turbo setup is planned with EGR delete and DPF delete. Just wasn't sure on the FMIC yet.

That's good news thanks for the help.

Turbo + DPF Delete and stock IC you can get 190hp easy peasy

Im hoping so mate that'll be good and give it a fair bit more poke.

People where saying conrods tend to fail at higher torque on these engines.

Not?

Would it not be easier to just get an FR?

 

[sotonsmut]

On DPFs the MOT says if your car had a DPF fitted when new, and is not there at mot test time. Its an automatic fail.. Cause for concern I think.

Probably, but I have brought this now so this is it. I like to do things a little different anyway.

Yeah I've read that about the DPF recently another bloody thing to stop tuning.

 

[Daniel M]

You can have the DPF gutted and then welded back up. MOT tester wouldnt know unless they ripped it apart.

I guess that is the same principle as de-cats that look like a normal cat.
