AlienVRS

Thx for the reply Vindaloo. I'm going for a custom FMIC anda custom pipework, from local guys who do a very expert job at it. Once mounted will show pics. Cheers!!!

Well, thx to you guys. I've been adapting to the new clutch+flywheel...damn the thing is heavy... I've managed to stall the car in some intersections.. hahahaha But so far, so good. There's a noticeable grip I haven't felt before in my car... men, when the gears enter the car flyies.... yeahhh So, thx for all the help in choosing this. I really apreciate that! Thx guys! No for the IC... Have to mout an FMIC... that gonna be a headache!!! Any thoughts on that ? Maybe I shoul onpen a new tread... :P

Thx! Guess I'll go Organic, then... Don't want to stall in the midlle of the freeway in rush-hour...

Darkside Developments has 2 choices of clutch. An Organic and a Sintered Disk. The Sintered one suports more power than the Organic one. What's your thoughts on this ? Will the Sintered wear out faster than the organic one ? Wich will be best for day-to-day use ? Thx!

Lol... sorry, I've jus read another post and the user has a very similiar pic... My bad Thx for your input. Didn't know the diference between a SMF and a DMF... Now I know... and there are sooooo many possibilities... Cheers.

Hummm.... My DMF is still the original one... It has about 232k kms (That's about 144.500 miles)... Soooo I guess it has done it's job... You said you do Track Days... That's something I know I won't do... only a couple ocasional "street racing"... I'll guess I'll go with the Darkside Sachs DMF SRE kit... and the map sensor... That's about 1k !!! in GBP!!! damnnnnnn

Nice setup. I wish I could get to the 200/220 Bhp without breaking the bank... I've seen the SMF on the Darkside dev. site. Looks impressive... They have a DMF too... Cant find anything with that price tag here in Portugal, so I guess I have to get one from there... I'm not interested in track days, It's just for ordinary day-to-day basis with the ocasional "push" So I don't need the extra strenght of the SMF. wonder if the Darkside one you have, against the DMF version, compare... usage type, I mean... Will it wear out faster ?

Hahaha... No worries... Yes a though it needed one... So my next buy is a new map sensor... It's not that expensive, too... I've been modifying my car over the years, because money isn't abundant but I love to modifying soooo muchhh So it went step by step... And I mean baby steps... hehehe... but it's getting there. There aren't many Fabia vRS owners here in Portugal for me to change thoughts, only Ibiza and Audis.... with the similiar engine type... god I love my PD130... what a machine. Thx for you input. It helped me a lot. Now searching for the MAP sensor €€€...

Hi there. Thx for the reply. The work is being made by a team of mechanics friends of mine, who by the way are very good in what they do... Maybe the price tag in the UK is somewhat diferent than in Portugal, where I live... It has to go with a new clutch, that's for sure... Now the SMF/DMF... I have yet to choose one...

Hi there. Thx for the reply. I too have changed the original KKK turbo with a Garret 1752-MFS (ex-VA). How much bhp and torque does your have ? I got to 182/420... I think its very good but can do much higher... it has to do with pressure... too much and enters in safe mode/turbo off. did you switch the maf/map sensor (from 2/3psi to 4/6psi) too for higher turbo pressure? Yeah, my biggest concern has to do with the noise and vibration it creates... How's the feel for the SMF ? Notice any driveability issues ?

Hi. Thx for the reply. The need for the conversion has to do with money... that's all... Buying a new DMF and Clutch is too expensive for my pockets at this time. On the ohter side... The noise and Vibration of the SMF bugs me.... I've seen youtube videos about it, and got me wondering...

Hi there, My modded fabia Vrs is showing the signs of EOL on the cluth or flywheel. It started to slip... Since it is the original one and has been on the car for more than 230.000 Kms, I think it's safe to say, it's done it's job!!! So I'm interested in changing my DMF to an upgraded SMF. (Cheaper...) Any thoughts on the subject ? Has anyone done this ? It has to support 180+ BHP and 420Nm of Torque...

Just to add some new stuff... Eibach Pro spacers: 20mm Back -- Fitted (Damnnn your ass looks so sexy now... ) New Turbo fitted: Garret 1752-MFS (ex-VA) New Repro: 182Bhp and 420Nm !!! (Low Smoke, that's the I like it! ) New tires: Nexxen N Fera Su1 (Great Grip, Really impressed...) 232.000 Kms and it keeps goin'.... Damn! Cheers to all you guys!

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs finally fitted.... :clap: H&K performance air filter fitted... :clap: 180.000 Kms... done!!! What a machine!!! Pics taken... :sun:
