  8. Toad Ai606

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Can anyone who's got the Toad Ai606 on there car tell me whether the alarm arms itself automatically' date=' say for example when I leave someone in the car when I nip into the petrol station would I have to disarm the alarm again when setting off?

    This behaviour can be turned on and off. It's off as default.

    However, if you unllock the car with the remote and do not open any of the doors, it will lock up and re-arm automatically after about a minute.

  9. Which cone filters are small enough to fit in the engine bay along with my z-engineering charger?

    If your car has no air-con, there's quite a bit of space behind the wing/bumper if you relocate your carbon canister to the other side (or do away with it completely). Not enough for a BMC CDA or a RamAir, but easily enough for a standard-sized cone such as a K&N.

    Mine has a K&N cone.

    On a car with air-con, you'll find that the condenser/drier (the silver cylinder thing) uses up a fair bit of space, but it should still be possible to get a cone filter in behind it.

    We get sooo many people asking about retro-fitting aircon to a Golf VR6 without. Most decide not to bother because they're not sure what's involved. Totally fair play to you for giving it a go' date=' and sharing the details with us.

    If you can post a fully illustrated guide to fitting aircon, including installing the compressor pump, evaporator, radiator, routing all the pipes through the bulkhead and doing the electrics, a year's free premium membership will be yours.

    Excellent, I'll take you up on that! I was about to sign up but I'll hold fire now.

    I'll photograph every stage and get a guide written.

    I'm about to pop down to VW and GSF for some bits!

    Good stuff!

  22. Fitting CDA on Corrado

    Thanks guys. Any pics of one fitted would be great.

    We can do better than that, Andy!. We have a full fitting guide in the premium member's section here: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?106391

    The guide is for a Golf mk3, but because the kit mounts to the engine rather than the body, fitting will be the same for a Corrado, mk2 VR6, whatever, other than the routing of the cold air feed (which you don't have to use).

    ps antera thats a weird torque graph mate 1st n/a vr iv seen that makes peak torque over 5.5k rpm what were the wheel figures?

    It defies explanation. Even when I had the VW Motorsport VSR manifold on there, the car STILL made maxiumum torque above 5K, which is DEFINITELY not right. Vince says valve timing problem (intermediate shaft not timed). This is going to be verified once and for all next week...

    I will start with an example from my car in July 2006 form...

    Car:

    Golf mk3 cabriolet with 2.8 12v VR6 engine (OBD1), approx 90,000 miles.

    Mods:

    Schrick 268 Cams

    Corrado Throttle body

    BMC CDA Air filter

    Raceland 6-branch stainless exhaust manifold

    Milltek cat-back stainless exhaust system.

    Custom remap at Stealth Racing

    Figures:

    Max Power: 203BHP @ 6004RPM

    Max Torque: 179.6lb-ft @ 5687RPM

    Plots:

    Power (before & after): http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/antera309/Nicks%20VR6%20Cabrio%20Project/Engine%20work%20Apr%2006/RR%20Plots/BHP.jpg

    Torque (before & after): http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/antera309/Nicks%20VR6%20Cabrio%20Project/Engine%20work%20Apr%2006/RR%20Plots/Torque.jpg

    Figures were expected to be slightly higher. Question marks over the cam timing.

    Right, I (and several others!) thought it would be a great idea to have a sticky thread for people's Rolling Road plots & figures after having mods done. A single point of reference for anyone who wants to know (roughly) how much extra power & torque they can expect from certain mods.

    If you've recently had your car rolling roaded, feel free to brag about the results here!!

    Be sure to include the following in your post:

    - The maximum power in BHP (and at what RPM)

    - The maximum Torque in lb-ft (and at what RPM)

    - What engine you have! ( VR6 2.8 , VR6 2.9 , 2.8 24v etc)

    - For 2.8 12v VR6 engines, whether yours is OBD1 or OBD2

    - What car it's in (Golf mk2, Corrado, Golf mk3 etc)

    - The approximate mileage on your engine

    - What mods the car had on it (including remaps) at the time of the RR session.

    - Whether any problems are suspected to have affacted the figures (e.g. overfuelling, misfire etc)

    If you want to be really flash, post copies of the BHP & Torque plots too!

    To do this, get them into JPG format (by scanning or photographing them) and host the images on an external hosting site (such as Photbucket http://www.photobucket.com ) and link to them from here, by simply pasting the image URLs into your post (do not use {img} tags as the plots will most likely exceed 500x375 in size).

    If you have RR figures before and after a modification (or group of modifcations), so much the better!

    Obviously, everyone should bear in mind that different engines can produce different figures with the same modifications. Lots of factors come into play, such as mileage, condition and that some engines just come out of the factory better than others...
