Hello all, I know this seems to be a ford forum but it would seem that no matter where i go for help i cant get it so trying here.
This is going to unfortunately be a long post so please bear with me.
I have a Skoda Octavia 1.8 20V turbo 4wd (Haldex System) that I am making into a rally-spec, road legal car that can also be used as a track car, maybe even a race car should I go down that route (trying to make everything race legal at the same time)
So far the engine specs will be as follows:
1.8 20V turbo engine
Stroked with forged pistons
forged con rods
Uprated valves and springs
Supertech valve stem seals
manganese bronze valve guides
New oil pick up and pump
New water pump and cambelt
OE spec gaskets
new intake manifold
Hemi 80mm throttle body
vr6 3" MAF housing and sensor to suit
FMIC
Mamba GTX2871 turbo with custom exhaust manifold
External wastegate
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Aluminium fuel rail
Bosch 850cc Injectors
Cold air intake
Remote oil cooler
Race radiator
Going to get an Oil catch can for the breathers, Swirl tank as well for the fuel system.
I spoke with a very reputable engine turner where I have the car based that does a lot of race cars and he suggested the ME442 ECU, just for comparison, is there any other ECU's out there that would be as good (allowing all sensors to work with it and different power maps to be installed)? Also anyone selling one second hand?
I want to remove the front Airbags, resistor delete or completely remove (how would the MOT be done on this as it will be a road legal car but also be able to be used on the track)?
Removing the ABS system. do I just run braided lines and would it be best to have new pedal box with adjustable brake bias or keep it like standard with the diagonal wheels braked for "safety", I will be installing a hydraulic handbrake as well.
Does anyone advise going down the dog box with h pattern to sequential pattern shifter? I found a few manufactures of the shifter but it is expensive for what it is on top of the LSD's and Dog gears, Anyone selling anything like this? Needs to be the 02M compatible VW gearbox with the quattro transfer box.
