Yeti 2.5tfsi The Twins. (And Yeti RS)

[BossFox]

Wouldn't have thought they would make a super car too loud to use on track!!

Has the Yeti had an aftermarket exhaust or are you still running the standard one?

Custom one due to running almost triple stock 1.8 power.

It usually achieves a score of about 93-95db.

Limit at Bedford is 98db.

Other car is 99db in normal road mode and 106 in sport or track.

Don't think the optional Sports Exhaust helps...

[magic62]

Sport exhaust does help!

 

 

To not even allow you near the track 

 

Very nice car! And a hell of a track car according to the magazines.  :p

Congrats.

Any progress ?

Engine done and ready to go back in.

Turbo kit here and ready to be fitted.

 

Just having the manifolds etc.. coated to help reduce under bonnet temps.

I'm not going to suggest adding extractor vents, because you need to know where the pressure under the bonnet is higher than that over it to make them work properly.

Any news?

[BossFox]

Any news?

Yes, people seem to always take longer than they thought.

Waiting on manifold etc... back from coatings place still.

Forged engine and turbo kit sat ready to go in still due to that.

[BossFox]

Yeti engine done...

 

Iroz Motorsport Audi 5cyl 850 kit from the USA.

We are hoping to make around 720bhp on UK 98 RON pump fuel.

Claimed output is 850 on E85.

 

Forged engine, head work and cams to allow 8000rpm rev limit instead of 7000.

 

 

 

 

Another month and this should be good to go.

 

If we make 720bhp we'll be looking at 550bhp per tonne, same as the old McLaren F1.

Almost 100bhp/tonne more than my McLaren 650s Spider.

But that has a far more trick gearbox.  I've stuck with the slower manual for the "fun factor".

[DarrellGB]

Can't wait to see this up and running

[Hyphons]

This might even be competition for my Citigo

That will be exciting to see how well it goes in comparison to the 650s

[magic62]

That poor drive train..... 

 

Excited!  :p

[Skoda_Saint]

Looking absolutely fantastic!!! I can't wait to see this on the track it's going to be awesome!!

Incredible power Richard, all of which will create that fun factor through a manual box but I really do think it is time you should be considering a track sequential box, you have already experienced failure with the power the Yeti was running last year, the power you have now is up there with the space shuttle so a decent delivery system has to be the way forward, at least you will know you can use all those horses without consequence.

 

 

 Will the Yeti be going to Brands in October?   I have my day booked off to come and visit so I will be there in the battery Golf, but no track car!!!!!!!

Yes the Yeti will be there in November James.

 

The issue apparently with the gearbox was the shock loading from the ultra light single mass flywheel.

Another car suffered the same issues but cars with the Sachs DMF have been much better.  By cars I mean highly modified TT-RS.

 

So I am going to try the DMF for a bit and see how we go.

If it's not reliable then something a bit more race inspired might be on the cards, but I'd prefer to keep to manual if possible.

Hey Foxy , just looking through a few previous threads and this one popped up , it's Clive from FocusRSOC . Epic thread mate

Awesome thread. Pretty good little write up of the Yeti here too:

Someone actually done research and a write up correctly, I'm shocked!

[elch]

This thread is absolutely epic. And the car even more so. Following since about a year, i came back here while reading page 44 of the CitiGo-Go, where you, Dr BoxFrogs (or so he was called) bought your red clown that dull grey friend :clap:

Welcome to Skoda World.

[BossFox]

Apologies for the lack of progress.

 

Intake was a bit of a squeeze and needed work.

Head Yeti builder had to go into hospital for a bit so we got delayed.

 

Should get cracking next week hopefully.

[stevobeavo]

I can't wait to see this at brands later this year :P ....passenger ride pretty please!? Lol.
