marky_boy 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 i have just purchased a mk3 vr6 which is has been rebuilt from inside out with low compression with the following Engine is ABV 2.9 block and head removed from Preg MK3 golf 2.9 SyncroGearbox from 2.8 MK3 CCM fitted with Quaife Diff.Mk5 32 Sump and oil feedNuespeed 160 ThermostatSharan RED leadsR32 Spark plugsNew timing chains, guides and tensioners,New Bigend ShellsSkimmed head with full rebuild including new stem seals etc.2.9 OBD2 inlet manifold 6Branch manifold with custom 2box stainleess systemCustom Chiped ecu.all this was built to run with a supercharger which has been removed. car is runing real low bhp as a result (like 150ish at most). i have been reading up on superchargers to put one back on. but cannot for the world of me understand how to fit with the belts and how they bolt up!! if anyone could please give me a list of parts i require to fit. or best way to recapture power lost through lack of charger. i'm on the understanding that a remap will not help with the compression.

cabrioman 6 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 ull need a vr6 specific one mate .... Rotrex you can get more power at lower boost, vortech and quite common and easy ish to fitt and the Z is basically a bolt on and go .... Link to post Share on other sites
marky_boy 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 easy ish to fit is fine with me or a bastard to fit will be fine i do know my way round a car just not superchargers. i can do turbo's fine. tbh money is tight at the minute so dont want to be spending a fortune. but at the same time i dont want to put rubbish on my pride and joy.

cabrioman 6 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 not really no .... i cant see how you have lost that much power just by going low comp i run low comp for about a year and didnt loose any performance just the power band was higher up the revs ..... have you had it Rolling roaded to see what she is putting out ???

FishWick 21 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Cam timing out?1 tooth out on the VR6 makes for one very sluggish motor, even on standard compression. It's worth double checking it just to outrule it. Even the pros get it wrong from time to time :-) Link to post Share on other sites
marky_boy 1 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 When I hit 4 k it pulls really well but nearly nothing at 2 k in 3rd 4th. GOing to get her rolling roaded soon Link to post Share on other sites
