Tuning the vRS

day tripper · 28-03-2003, 01:24

What mods would you need to tune the vRS octavia to 330bhp? And how much do you think it would cost?

Also is it possible to get a full wrc bodykit, i know rear spoiler copies are available.

Turbo
Injectors
FMIC
Fuelpump
Fuelpressure regulator
Exhaust mainfold
turboback exhaust
Modified turbo inlet (inc. MAF)
Airfilter/box
Remap
Gaskets and oillines and stuff like that.

(hmm, have I missed something?)
Some would also add piston rods, just to be safe.

Aprox. cost is you do it yourself exept the remap is about 5-6000 euro here in sweden.

Cant lie if I told you I hadnt though about it..

330hp I imagine at the crank. Just get an ATP stage III. That's my hp goal on an elegance. It'll be hard to make that much on pump fuel though. My list of mods:

T3 super 60 turbo ball bearing 3" inlet pipe (T3/T4E 40 trim is more efficient for a little more)
ATP exhaust manifold for 1.8t cars
ATP downpipe, modified to fit with stock intercooler piping.
ATP high flow catalytic converter
Tial 35mm wastegate
ATP hardware kit
oil feed & return lines
Gaskets
Silicone hoses to adapt stock inlet to new turbo
EGT gauge
380ml injectors (run at 4 bar for >300hp)
2.75" inner diameter MAF housing (for 250hp)
3" inner diameter MAF housing (for 300+hp)
Upsolute k03 program
Apexi AVC-R boost controller

This setup works without fuel remaps because of the matched MAF housing and injector size increase. This is on an AGU engine code, which poses more restrictions than 180hp engines at the ECU level. Some issues about hitting limp mode may pop up if the software is not custom software. This setup has yielded up to 370hp with race fuel.

Cost is around USD4000 but tuning is DIY. A cheaper alternatve is to get the ATP Gen II kit, which should be able to get you the 330hp with a few extra fuel mods (injectors, etc.)
