Too epic... can't believe I haven't seen this yet! The pics on pages 20 are broken, any chance that you can re-up them please? I'd really love to see the subframe going in.

Now we have tested the Denso IK24 spark plugs.
We tested a set on my friends car with same mods on the engine as i have..


We tested before and after changing on the same road and same time almost tested then drove back to change and then tested so the testing condions should be the same with both sets of plugs..

First with the old Bosch OEM plugs that was in the engine, then we changed
to the Denso IK24 Plugs.

Times logged with Racelogic Performance Box.


First intervall test 100-150 km/h
Bosch OEM plugs: time was ~4,2 sec.
Denso IK24 plugs: time was ~4,8 sec.

We also tested 80-120 km/h
Bosch OEM ~2,3 sec.
Denso IK24 ~2,8 sec.

We also logged the Lambda, Timing and Ignition and so..
With Vagcom and it shows that the Denso IK24 backed the Ignition almost all the way thrue the revs when doing pulls..

The bosch ones didnt and they are old and from when the engine was new??


A strange thing is that the engine felt like it was running smother and better both on idle and when pulling. Butt the Vagcom logs and Racelogic logs show different ??


Does someone know any good plugs that is tested and logged to be better then the OEM Bosch on the 2.0tfsi (BWJ) ?

Appreciate all the help or tips we can get.. :)



We have tested earlier these ones.
NGK BKR7EIX, BKR8IEX, BKR6EIX and also some OEM NGK that was on the new engine when we changed it after the camfollower fail.

Also some NGK Racing/Vpower 7 and 8.
just can remember the number on them.

Also some bosch platinum and silver.

and it seems like the best plug is the OEM bosch ones??

Finally, which were the best plugs?? right now I'm running the BKR8EIX and they seem to run perfectly on my car, BUT I would never know until I try with a Racelogic (or similar).
best regards,

sooo do you mind if i copy your bodywork & colour ?? :p joking hehehe. everytime i see your car i get excited.( i know it sounds strange but its one heck of a leon ) and now taht you are back.. maybe you can check for me about the widebody kit, before i get mine into the spraying booth also.

the one i found from romania told me it costs about 1500 euros to buy , and also said that i had to do lots of fixing and cutting.
btw what do you think about O.Z. superforgiata matte balck on a grey leon with matte black bonnet,roof and spoiler ?

hello sorry long time no answer.
then buy it ;)
Yes the arches will need cutting and trimming to fit and look good.

i think they can fit good. depending on size on them and other mods.



this is one hell of an epic RR. absolutely loving the custom seats, and thew colour choice works really well. look forward to seeing what happens next.lol


thanks mate. :)

Epic build dunno how im only seeing this now! Love that spoiler! Mugen fn2 inspired by any chance???

Thanks bud, no not anything i thoight of and dont know how it looks :p

Thanks mate :D
Yes i know the broken links. I asked for help opening so i could fix all the broken pic links. but only talked to a wall. thats why i havent been here so much. as i feel a build thread with no pics or half of the pics broken is no good build thread.. :( If you can get the admin to help me and open so i can fix them then yes i will :)

Oh man but you have put a lot of effort into this car!

Maybe to much :p

Wow what an effort. Nice car

Thanks :D
any more progress?

yes happened much this summer, Drove modball rally thrue europe, blew a turbo in UK and got good help from Alex AKS so we could continue and much more. :)

We need updates!!! :)

will uppload some later. Help me get the admins open upp so i can fix all the broken pics in the thread. ;) Then it would be more fun :)

What kind of power figures are you expecting?

To be honest, Dont know. My goal is just a fast daily driver to go to work, supermarket, shows trackdays or whatevere i want to and then back home. and its quite fast for its 1820kg.. with driver and full tank of fuel..

Finally, which were the best plugs?? right now I'm running the BKR8EIX and they seem to run perfectly on my car, BUT I would never know until I try with a Racelogic (or similar).
best regards,

The best results i got was actually with the cheap NGK BKR7E and NGK BCR8ES.
tested very many different plugs. but these was the best ones for me.


wonderful color :)

Thanks :D

Hi,

what cylinder clearance are you going to use?
are you using ARP bolts or aviation bolts? at what torque?
did you use a torque plate ?

I´ve been watching this project for a long time, the thing that was most interesting to me was the 4wd conversion, now I´ve been in talks wth a company that builds electric vehicles and might do my 4wd version with a 150whp 300tq for each wheel it will add about the same weight as the haldex system but it will also add a lot of power.

Here is the current engine specs for my cupra.

ENGINE
fully ported head with +1mm valvetrain
rs4 injectors +12% and s3 angled pattern by DOMinjectors
155FRV, stage 2 hpfpupgrade

wossner 9.25:1 +.5 pistons torque plate used. and .032 clearance
forged IE rods
full ARP bolts set + aviation complements

USP 1.8t oil pump conversion
2.75¨ throttle body +.25¨
3.75¨ APR stage 3 maf
heat shield
DEI titanium Wrapped APR exhaust manifold
GTX3071r internally gated with 18PSI spring.
balanced crankshaft
fluidampr pulley
discharge, throttle pipes
3¨ catless full APR down/mid pipes and GHL modified R32 catback
4¨ airaid intake tubing with 6¨ intake cone and CAI volant box

Does anybody know, where this beast is now?

well left it at the painter last week.
got alot of paint damagae from hunting Lambos and M6s etc when i drove the modball rally. :p

after that I started with further mods on new engine. other head other cams manifold and so on.
aim was (is) to Hopefully make it little faster than earlier.

before we got it togeheter i got my Son Gabriel. so car was left hanging on same lift for almost 2 years now. hopefully will have time to put in engine again and get all abck togheter again to this summer. other things prioritized after you get a little child in your world =)

at the moment i drive my Skoda Superb estate 4x4 DSG 2.0TDI (very good family car)

Hmm think im getting old.. but atleast both engine and DSG is tuned so the hope is not over yet... :p

We will see if the Leon will run this summer and if i put it for sale or keep it to have something to do when i need some quality time away from the Gf xD
