Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps

[superbtte]

Hi and thanks! There is a dyno printout in this thread a few pages back. Gearboxes seem to handle even more based on some S3 and Golf R builds. 

 

Micloi helped me significantly with this build.

You need a magnifying glass but it's there

any chance of a passenger run out in it when you pick it up? 

[superbtte]

Will try to make Sunday at RAF, are you coming? Having a last few mods done, hope will be ready by then!

So rad 

 

Can I ask, how much power could you have safely made before the engine change? Also, what are the main differences with the forged replacement?

I had the same power with the normal engine too, 560ps. The changes for the forged engine are described in my first post This one should allow for over 600ps.

What an amazing build. I'm especially keen on your exhaust system. I'm driving the 162tsi here in Australia and currently attempting to have an "exhaust job" done on the car. I keep running into trouble with an unwillingness of fabricators to cut into the plastic bumper/diffuser to make way for exhaust tips and secondly the supposed height difference between the stock muffler and where the cuts will have to go. Any advice or template on how you cut into your rear would be warmly appreciated. Secondly, I'm also weighing up the APR carbon intake against the VWR R600. Probably tending more towards the VWR but again, any words on your experience with both would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 

The 280 (206 in Australia) already has the cuts. You can buy the rear diffuser from the 206 to fit your 162 and have the cuts ready for you.

The VWR600 gave me more power and looks more OEM too

Is this a part you purchased from Super Skoda? If not, do you have a supplier that you would recommend? Parts for these are harder to source in Australia than it would appear in Europe (and the postage is a killer)

This I bought directly from Skoda, it's an oem part.

Milltek 90mm carbon tips. Also tip is shorter (more recessed) than before.

Briskoda annual meet, RAF Cosford

 

 

[superbtte]

Santa Pod - Superb Stage 3 - 11.7 sec @ 121.74mph with a, very slow, 2 sec 60ft

 

With a good launch this had the potential of an 11.1-11.2 seconds run

Time for better dragstrip tyres next year !

 

 

[superbtte]

Toyo's Proxes R888R on for testing (alloys need a good clean!)

 

 

[superbtte]

Shakespeare Raceway - 11.51 @118mph (lifted before the line, trap should have been 122+)

Also slow 60ft 1.947s due to damp track

May I ask please, are these any good for every day use ? How many mile can you get under normal/spirited driving.

 

They look epic..........any good in the wet?

Yes, unlike the older R888 these have a water evacuation line. I will be using them as everyday tyres.

hats off to you sir, its totally bonkers!,

 

i have 230hp in a 61 beetle convertible which is hairy most of the time and my favourite thing is the faces of the boy racers as i blow past them in my Sunday driver. It must feel good to do it to a lot of Porsche drivers.

In relation to your downpipe, I too am interested in fitting a downpipe. Is it the same length as the downpipe for the MK3 Octavia?

Hi, it is the same as the Golf R and S3 but different than the Octavia I believe due to it being 2 wheel drive.
