Leon ATP GTRS Eliminator install

[m0rk]

smaller turbo, probably more boost

it's not all about peak numbers though... area under the graph etc

 

[RobDon]

Indeed, any GTRS will blow away a K04 no problem! I've been in both and the 330bhp S3 was in a different league to an LCR!

hi guys would a ATP 3" inlet pipe fit on my 6speed leon 2002? just have the chance to buy one and want to double check??

With some work yes, it doesn't bolt straight on though.

 

[The MoffMeister]

is there one that will bolt straight on if not what kind of work would i need to do rob?? cheers

 

[RobDon]

Nope, anything will need work to make it fit.

 

[m0rk]

there's the big 'lump' on the gearbox casing that fouls, plus there's issues with it lining up etc

we managed to clock the turbo the 'right' angle - so that's no longer a problem

Got no pics of how we've set the inlet - jonah thought I was in the states these past weeks - so he didn't tie me down to put his driveshaft back on

 

[The MoffMeister]

so it could fit but i'd have to jiggle it about then mark?? and how do you mean right angle i presume you didnt put it on straight then?

 

[m0rk]

no - I mean it's rotated... but the only way we could rotate it was once the turbo was 'on' the car done up - else it wasn't going to mount properly

 

[The MoffMeister]

ummm sounds tricky may have to nick some pics off of you when you can get some lol

 

[m0rk]

not tricky at all, when you have it infront of you it's obvious

There is some info here about installing on a 6 speed box.

Also TyrolSport's guides are a good read:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

nice one will butchers later!!

Heheh, I just read all this thread and realised how long its been going on for. I wish I'd found it earlier since I just so happen to have the GTRS on my S3....

 

[m0rk]

yeah, it's not been an easy year to find any time to do anything. total hours spent on it are very very low indeed though.

Well, for what it's worth. I'm running at 1.45 bar (64% duty cycle), and getting 333bhp and 308lbs-ft. Running with the 3" inlet, 475cc injectors, Forge FMIC, RS4 maf and housing, 3" TIP, the ATP cone filter, and Star mapping. They're only slightly different engines so the results should be similar.

Hi Chris (been to the post office yet?). I think you might have originally run without the 3" outlet, then put the 3" outlet on after? If you did, I think I remember seeing some pictures of mods that Start had done to the cable bracket?

Might have been myk3's though...

 

[ChriS3]

Heh, I went to the post office this morning and got a few funny looks as I walked out. Cheers for that, I'll be fitting it in the next week or two. I'll pics up once its on.

I tried the 3" inlet on a different manifold first time, but ATP's mani for the LCR/S3/TT pushes the inlet into the gearbox. I've kept the standard mani on for now. The only thing it needed was a 90º silicone bend going into the ATP TIP.

Why has it only been mapped to 64% duty cycle? Restriction from the standard mani causing problems with high exhaust temps and CFs?

Or just a conservative level of tune?

 

[RobDon]

Boost duty cycle on the Apexi AVC-R, not injectors! When I fitted the 3" inlet I had to drop the boost duty cycle, which means the turbo isn't trying as hard to make power.
