Swainy 1 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Been looking into running a VR on throttle bodies. I've got the throttle bodies sorted so just need to source a suitable VR engine now.Been looking around at using megasquirt or is there something better?I know I will need either a 36-1 or a 60-2 trigger wheel depending on what the management needs but what other sensors will I need? What coilpacks should I use? I've read that the ford/pug ones are best but they are 4 cyl, will a early VR one work or is there something else? Anything else I've not thought of?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Not 100% what is needed here to be honest But have a free bump! I know of only a handful of people on here who have ran a VR6 with TB's so not sure how quickly you will get a response, but please keep us updated with any progress you make for others to benefit from Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 indeed a free bump here. post a build thread/write up as you go mate... Would be interested to understand everything Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Crank trigger wheel is 60-2 and MS should support all the stock sensors except MAF (and knock), so you'll need a map sensor instead, although as ITBs have no plenum, mapping them can be tricky. You might end up using throttle position only as the load measurement.I've run a DTA S80 on 12 and 24V VR6s with great success so you should be fine with the squirt. wessel429 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Swainy 1 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks, I know I've been searching but can't seem to find many people with 12v. There's obviously Gareth with his 32 and a few in the U.S but not really found anything in depth. I've got a thread over on Golfgti forum so may transfer it over to here. I've got a block and head now, just got to get a few more bits to make it complete but giving it a clean and detail in the mean time.I've got a TPS sensor on the ITBs so was gonna use that with a crank sensor. Will I need a MAP sensor aswell as a TPS?Can I get rid of the knock sensor if MS doesn't support it? Link to post Share on other sites
