A few pictures of yesterday!

And finally, i was just about to leave Emerald, started car, pressed clutch and BANG! The master cylinder had pushed the white plastic end through the clutch pedal!

So had to weld the stop back on before i could drive it again!

[Ben Seabrook 4]

nice one mate glad you had a good day, did they give you an idea what sort of figures you would acheive with the bigger wastegate etc ??

Cant wait to have mine done on Monday !!

[legvw 0]

Well, another 50 bhp easy, possibly 350bhp?

I hope your run goes well too! :-)

[Ben Seabrook 4]

cool they would be very good figures matey yeah I hope so too !! drives nicely at the mo so once Vince has worked his magic am very hopeful it should be special !! will let you know Monday evening

Are you going to get the bits sorted asap or is it an ongoing thing ??

[legvw 0]

After the last couple of days i'm proper skint, so next month hopefully :-)

[Ben Seabrook 4]

know that feeling matey !! after monday will be in the same boat and I still need at least 2 new tyres and some other bits before the ring trip at the end of the month :( might have to sell a kidney or get a job with Jake at this rate !

[Phat VR6 3]

fair play

are you going to go for big numbers later on down the line? make full use of the 4 wheel drive?

Firstly, please let me congratulate you Paul on a spot on result! (I know I txt u, but that's off site!)

I didn't mean it to sound like 300 was not a good result cos it IS! As Bodge said though, with 4wd and that engine, u should be easily achieving 400+ reliably

Looking through the graph, that's probably the smoothest power curve i have ever seen! when are u gonna take me for a spin then...?

Cheers, i think a gradual progression from here will do, as time and money permit! But yeah, a good starting point.

Cheers mate, at the end of the day, my engines still in 1 piece, and i've got a base to start tuning from, so only the first big hurdle for the engine!

Oh, and it was mapped using the 4wd, and i did road test it, and boy, does it work! ;-) ;-)

There seems to be a list of possible nut case passengers willing to risk life an limb in my car! :-)

[J5KE F 0]

Nut case passengers..its all about that little bit of wee coming out

I'm having a little pre ring get together for Team south at H2O HQ on Sat 27th so if u fancy popping over, we'll all be playing with cars!

[legvw 0]

Yep sounds like a plan!

An the wee thing? Not on my seats thanks.... ;-)

[john555 0]

glad to see ou managed to get it up and running properly hows it feel on the road?

[legvw 0]

Cheers mate! Runs really well, seems better than before all the work started, and the ride isn't too bad either-better than i expected. And the 4wd helps round corners when it comes on boost! ;-)

[john555 0]

hey mate dont supose you can help me out im trying to wire up my speed sensor on the gear box but the speed box has different colours compared to the vr6s wireing

cheers john

[legvw 0]

Yeah!

Now cut your o2a speed sensor plug off of the harness and solder the wires like so (OEM 02a wiring on left - o2m on right):

Black -----> Black/White

Blue/White -----> Blue/White

Red/Green -----> Brown.

[matty.vrt 120]

Wow Paul, just sat here since I got home from work and read your thread from start to finish!

Some awesome engineering skills buddy, its good to see home builds I love 'em!

Well done so far and good luck for the future!

[bungy 2]

How did you get on with your fresh set of plugs, did it solve your missfire? Still an open seat available for the weekend, 2 if your good lady wants to go......

Well bought some BKR7E on monday, bought 6, paid for 4, not a bad discount! ;-)

Going to stick them in today or tomorrow, and test drive over easter. And by then hopefully my 7psi spring would have turned up, so i can test new plugs and 14psi worth of boost!!!! ;-) :-) YAY :-)

[bungy 2]

Bring on the boost.

It gets addictive though.
