Modifications for the SEAT Leon
We like the Leon and with a few of our Leon tuning tips we are sure you will have a fantastic car. Better than what SEAT ever intended!
Available in standard form with power of upto 198bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Leon. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 217.8bhp to 336.6bhp which seems almost too good to be true but is possible if you have deep pockets.
To go over the 100bhp per 1000cc limit you would need to be running a pretty serious forced induction setup. If you head for a maximum power figure you need to expect a lot of unreliability. See this link for more details on Engine Tuning
If you have a lower powered Leon your best bet for a mod would be an engine swap with the 198bhp Leon Hatchback. Looking at what SEAT have done with their top of the range Leons you get an idea for the tuning potential open to you. Your first engine modifications for your Leon should be an induction kit, sports exhaust and fuel boost valve.
A fast road cam will make quite a difference to the peak power of your Leon. Getting better flow through the head of the engine would reward your Leon with more power. So get the engine head polished and ported.
The most powerful Leon Hatchback in our database offers 198 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 217.8 bhp to 336.6bhp with mods we have outlined above.
You will get even larger power gains for these tuning mods on a Leons. A simple remap and better intercooler will almost double your power.The most powerful Leon has a healthy 198 bhp. In a competition setting you may well, with some forced induction, reboring and other major work see power figures between 257.4 bhp to 376.2bhp with mods we have outlined above.) Many Leon owners improve the handling of their cars with slightly stiffer springs. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
