Hi all my names Aaron , I have been on here a while and thought it was about time I started a build thread .
I have owned my mk1 Lcr for about a year and a half ,when I bought the car it already had a stage one AMD map and miltek cat back exhaust system, since then the car has been through many changes . I build the car to a full stage 2 spec including rebuilding the engine with stronger internals for reliability a I knew I wanted more power lol . The car was custom stage 2 mapped by Nikki down at r-tech, and the car made some great figures , 284bhp and 347lbft it felt fantastic and the whole team down at r-tech are a pleasure to deal with, but I soon got the itch for more power . Which brings us to now I am currently in the middle of fitting a k04 064 tfsi turbo . All the parts for the conversion have been sourced from dan at beachbuggy turbos , I highly recommend him for any turbo work or advice he's your man, there are only a couple of cars already running this conversion and as for as we are aware I'm the first to do it in a Leon .
Well I will post a spec list below and a few pics thanks for reading
Spec list
Engine
AMK 1.8 t
Rebuild bottom end using dm forged rifle drilled rods
New big end shells
Genuine piston rings
Gates Kevlar timing belt
And all that usual bit you would expect , oil pump, waterpump , gaskets seals etc
Pcv delete
Carbon canister delete
The head was sent to a friend for him to cast his eye over , it was stripped down and spent 2 days soaking In his ultrasonic bath!! , it was reasmbled using supertech valve train ,3 angle valve seats new Vvt unit .
Cooling
Wellycooler with custom hard pipes
Air con completely deleted
Cooling fan restistor mod .
Turbo
Genuine k04-064 turbo
Mounted using custom adapter plate (supplied by dan @ beachbuggy turbos)
Clutch
Sachs paddle clutch friction plate with LUk pressure plate and dmf
A LSD is on my to do list lol
Fuelling
Bosch 610 injectors and adapters again supplied by dan
Syntec in tank pump
Exhaust
Now the exhaust system is going to be a full custom unit to go with the tfsi turbo
I'm currently I talks with one of the top exhaust specialists in my area to carry out the work.
The company in question is emp customs , if you haven't heard of them before check out there work on Facebook its fantastic , they have a real passion for what they do .
Gauges
Currently I only run a liquid gauge and boost gauge ,
But I have a egt and oil pressure and afr gauges to fit .
Brakes
Godspeed discs. With ferodo ds2500 pads all round with 5.1 brake fluid
Suspension
At the moment it's stock but again sitting at home is a full set of Polybushes
Uprated anti roll bars and coilovers to go on once the turbo swap is finished .
I'm sure there is loads I have missed I will update as I remember .
Thanks for reading
