    Yes that's the maf. Try plugging into vag-com

    A bad lambda sensor would cause poor mpg. A bad maf causes lumpy running and poor economy if the ecu goes into limp mode

    Samco sell a range of individual hoses in various shpaes and sizes.

    Could also be the maf. My car ran 3 times too rich when the maf was on it's way out.

    You need a 36mm socket iirc to undo the filter housing.

    It won't fit as the 2.9 has a cable operated throttle whilst obd2s have an motorised (electronic) throttle body. You won't be able to fit the manifold either as it won't bolt up to the obd2 throttlebody.

    I'm pretty sure the calipers are the same but the carriers are different.

    I'm not sure how much deflection but you don't have to have the belt that tight because the dual idler pulley puts plenty of wrap around the s/c pulley.
  11. mightyvr6
    You could try slackening the belt so it doesn't sing so much.

    Sounds like the blue temp sensor needs replacing. It's located on the front of the thermostat housing.

    Yes, it's quite noisy at idle but quietens down when the car is revved.

    They're not that fast. Nerih, you've got more power per tonne than an M3.

    No, all corrado vr6s are obd 1.

    Can you give a bit more detail. Does it misfire when hot or cold and at what revs? What software are you running

    Pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/corradovr6sc/vr6sc.jpg The maf goes before the charger so the charger sucks through the maf which is better as the maf only registers airflow when you get on the throttle. When the car is idling or on closed throttle the dv diverts air from the upper intake back into the path of the supercharger impeller which prevents air from being drawn through the maf so the car doesn't run rich off throttle (like it does with the maf after the charger). In additon the maf before the charger is a better setup as there is no build up of air pressure on the thrott

    I'd say the maf and cam sensor are likely candidates. Vag-com I think.

    I think you have to host it (email to me if you want) and I'll host it.

    You can check the boost using a boost guage plumbed into the intake manifold. I think yours should be about 6 - 6.5 psi boost using a 3.25" pulley. I've got the AMS supercharger kit fitting instructions which uses a v1/v2 headunit with mounting brackets designed by z-engineering. Any pics of your engine bay?

    I don't think Vortechs use ceramic bearings.You can see the oil feed going to the charger(black pipe) in the picture. Mines 2.9, vortech v1, stock compression, maf before the charger, 6.5 psi no intercooler. You might be running a bit rich as the maf is after the charger - air is constantly be registered by the maf's filament and the ecu is chucking more fuel in even when your not on the throttle.

    You could leave the maf where it is if the car runs ok. If not, you can buy an upper intake and CAI from C2 Motorsports and relocate the maf, and plumb in a recirculating dump valve. (www.c2motorsports.net) I did the same on my car and it runs great. I've got a plastic splash guard at the bottom the wing to protect the air filter from splashing. There's also something called a pre-charger which is a bag with a micro-filter which fits over the top of the air filter (K@N sell them). I don't think splashing is too much of a problem as teh filter is oiled and repels water. As long as you don't dri

    I mean "they" as in C2 Motorsports. To clarify, C2 run the maf before the charger and AMS locate it after the charger.
  25. mightyvr6
    The ams kit uses basically the same hardware as the C2 Motorsports kit (both use the same chargers and brackets). The difference between the kits is that C2 use a dual idler pulley instead of a single idler and they place the maf before the charger and use a pressure relief bypass valve and the software of course. Good idea- Buy C2 software and their CAI intake pipe and run the maf before the blower and it will work fine.
