[thomasaspin]

Alright guys and girls ive been on here since 2014 modding away my little fabia vrs CTHE and decided now is the time to create a build thread

Airtec FMIC

RTMG bigger intake kit

RTMG blow off valve 

RTMG 380 RS hybrid turbo with stiffer wastgate and purple impeller 

RTMG battery relocation tray 

RTMG audi R8 coil pack conversion

Vibratechnics engine,gearbox and torque mounts (amazing mod the gains for these alone are unreal)

312mm brake conversion at the front with braided hoses 

TMG power pedal 

ITG intake swivelled to the front of the engine 

 

current mods i have bought that i have not fitted as yet 

AEM water meth kit with failsafe gauge 

10% reduced supercharger pulley 

big wing spoiler 

RTMG oil catch can

 

 

pictures of the hybrid turbo fitment with blow off valve and bigger air intake fitment also

Box full of goodies ready to be attached

The before shot ^

The crash bar + front bumper need to be removed to gain access to manifold if anyone tells you they can do a turbo change without doing this i really want to see it 

OEM turbo removed now let the fun commence ^

turbo and all ancillaries back together she's starting to take shape

all done ready for mapping and santa pod

you must be looking forward to the Dyno figures! Take it to ADE Tuning for the mapping / tuning (Darwen) . Mine is nearly 10 years old now. It would not have survived had i not took it to ADE.

Small update from this weekend i decided to make some plans to get my spoiler sorted out and painted as it comes unpainted, now I'm absolutely useless when it comes to painting things so i paid my good friend who made a build thread on here for his fabia MK1 you may remember his big wing spoiler he made for his car pictured below 

so to start the preparation process the part had to first be sanded down ready for primer 

Next is the first layer of primer which is all that we had time for this weekend 😞

hopefully more to come next weekend fitting water methanol and the spoiler should be full painted magic black so that can also be fitted thanks again for your interest 

[Mickmartin]

Looks like somebody's had an RTMG shopping list! Looks good man.

 

Similar setup to a few others in terms of the RTMG parts, Have you not forged it yet? I'd hazard a guess you'd be looking between 300-350bhp with that setup if not forged internals. The Turkish boys are running the show with our engines at the moment, Ruff on here is pushing for over 400bhp and his mate is running 480bhp(both tuned by the same garage in Istanbul).

 

There's a white mk2 kicking about with that spoiler I'm sure Keep the updates coming mate.

Hey peeps hope everyone is still good and well and not suffering due to the dreadful COVID-19, to lighten the mood here are a few progress pictures of the spoiler with a lick of paint on awaiting clear coating its been a laborious task due to the cold weather!

but i do think this will give it that aggressive look i think the fabia should of came with as standard, skoda/VAG really missed the boat on what they could achieve looks wise with the twin charger power plant under the bonnet especially at the end of production when they ironed out the kinks. 

 

hoping to get this weekend free due to recent proceedings 

so I can strap

 .water methanol to the car 

.RTMG oil catch can

. pillar boost gauge with AEM meth FAILSAFE

. 10% reduced supercharger pulley

. spoiler

. front and back bumper quick releases as I'm sick to death spending longer taking the bumpers off than actually working on the car 

 

hope to hear from you all soon!

oh and the car is booked in on the 3rd of april at tony banks for a sports CAT and centre silencer delete to the milltek cat back i have currently on the car

 

[thomasaspin]

Some progress finally! 
so today we started fitting the big wing spoiler and some other bits I will post later! 
the spoiler is going to get a final lick of paint on the car as we have just used a can at the moment due to not being able to buy any due to this virus 

 

first things first prepping the car 

holes drilled a surface sanded to allow the epoxy glue to hold it in place 

 

spoiler bonded to car 

 

finished results until painted on car and joints filled in with car filler when everywhere opens 

hope your all staying safe guys more pics to follow of 

bumper quick release 

oil catch can 

wiper delete

water meth nozzle fitted awaiting full kit fitment 

also fitted a gearbox dogbone mount underneath but didn’t get any pictures 

[Mickmartin]

How you finding the diesel dog mount? That's the spoiler another member has.....Knew I'd seen it before.

That’s the one cheers mick! but I got mine off eBay and they don’t sell it on there anymore if I have any advice They have the A45 AMG ones on eBay already painted gloss black for £130  that comes unpainted so if I was you I would get the A45 one as it cost around £150 to get it painted

Could be an option to vinyl wrap it, if painting is a hassle

[thomasaspin]

Mixed weekend this week as the postie brought me a new toy to fit the GReddy Profec OLED 

 

and he also brought me a gloss black badge from the front of the car make it look more stealth 

 

but on the other hand for

some reason had a Practically brand new tyre do this £60 Down the drain 

hope everyone else’s weekends have been good 💪🏻

That Greddy Boost controller is spot on mate, I’ve seen it being used in a few cars now although my mate did have a bit of bother fitting it and had to get a garage to do so.

 

 

I don’t think you mentioned if you forged it yet? and have you had a chance to get it on the rollers?

 

Amazing amount of work so far.

Thanks mate, mine arrived today!

[thomasaspin]

small update guys been fitting the water meth kit all day fitted the water meth kit but need to interface it with the failsafe gauge and the greddy Profec OLED and do some wire management (cleaning the wire routes up 🤣😂) I need to interface it with the boost controller so it can cut the boost pressure to wastegate pressure to protect the engine incase anything fails while under load

Happy with the placement though!

Nice one mate! I know of a few folks running meth now on our engines but all been a ball ache to set up , You gonna need to head back to RTMG to get the maps set up for meth?

 

 

[thomasaspin]

Few WIP picks from the weekend of my install hope everyone appreciates all the placement of everything, also fitted some quick release brackets on the front bumper 

the boost gauge is there as a reference for when we get to the mapping part 💪🏻

I’m in Scotland my man, Hopefully get to one of the R-TMG Days out in the future, Christos came upto a scotland and mapped mine and a few other cars in November, Can’t speak of him highly enough.

 

My FMIC is cracked and leaking boost and the Fabia decided to present me with another great surprise earlier......

Left a post on the mk2 Fabia Vrs Facebook page and a few bodys have had the same problem, If I Can find a cheap door loom I’ll fit it and wrap those wires up properly, other wise it’s getting attacked with crimps and tape.I've got the intercooler from Rtmg, Being  brutally honest it’s just a chinese intercooler Rebranded and sold on, but it’s done me for £80 I paid for it.

 

I’m liking those quick release brackets for the bumper, they solid? I see one button for the meth on/off....what’s the other orange switch for ?

 

Hats off to to you, some amount of work.

Those brackets are nice and solid mate just need to make sure the rubber is under tension when marking them out on your car would look very nice on a blue car, was sick to death of spending an hour each time removing the front bumper , the orange is the arming switch and the big thing next to the headlight switch is the warning LED that flashes on when low level or pump failure etc , the air vent is where the failsafe gauge goes but need to find a air vent gauge pod for it but can’t find them anywhere you haven’t got any ideas have you bud where to get one surely they use the same vents on polo’s/golfs?
