Supercharged VR6 - plus a few other questions abotu my engine generally

[Dekerf1996 27]

Hi,

 

I recently got myself a supercharged VR6 after wanting one for many years. Its a stage 1 ODB 2 car (had a standard VR6 7 years ago, and still miss it)

 

Sorry i have searched but there seems to be lots of information scattered all over the place and i am trying to get my head around this.

 

Now its a V-engineering one, which are one of the early ones (and have gone bankrupt, now RUF in germany can help and suppy bits), and i believe it has one of the early maps from Vince, as when its cold it doesn't like to idle. So a remap is on the cars to sort this out.

 

Now whilst i was thinking about the re-map from vince, it makes sense to try and go to a stage 2 setup, to try and get the most from the map ;-) so whats involved with this and what is recommended? is it a case of smaller pulley (with belt) and bigger injectors or anything else i should do?

 

I was thinking of uprated engine mounts and a oil cooler (its already running a stainless manifold and exhaust) but what are the best to get

 

Also the car is making a strange noise on idle (about 600rpm) like a dry bearing from the supercharger area/surpentine belt area, but this goes when the revs creep up a bit, i was going to investigate this in more detail tomorrow, but any pointers would be great?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Mark

Easiest solution is to sell me the charger me thinks

Up rating the engine mount and fitting a cooler is never a bad thing. I had a ebay oil cooler in my last VR which WANs good quality and showed a decent reduction in oil temps. Although doing it again I'd probably get one with a thermostatic plate.

Why not give stealth a call and discuss going stage 2 with them. Might as well get it from the horses mouth!?
