    You need the right cams for forced induction, like 248's or boost is lost through the exhaust valves...........I think

    the vr has chains as it was originally designed as a diesel engine.

    Agreed. plastic pullers are sh*te, only good for decorating the bonnet stay

    check out this thread for some engine bay pics of an atp turbo kit install: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1375960

    think 1.5 litres is ok for a complete flush out. vr6's have a bigger coolant capacity, says in the manual. Think it's 4.5-5 litre capacity. Mix it 30% -40% antifreeze and use de-ionised water.

    is the brake master/slave cylinder on the other side? This would cause problems as it would affect pipework etc.

    Price of g12 plus is not too bad, about £5 for 1.5 litres from vw.
  8. mightyvr6
    Think it's quite important as you don't want to mix 2 incompatible coolants. Some can cause head/block corrosion over time.

    You can buy the cables/programs from www.ross-tech.com

    Could well be the lambda sensor causing the ecu to retard the timing leading to a drop off in performance.
  11. mightyvr6
    chain is on the right side. Could be a knackered tensioner pelley or one of the pumps.

    Black wire to earth Red wire to ECU 12v+ Pin 23 at ECU plug (Normally Red/Blue wire) Blue wire to ECU RPM Sig.. Pin 22 at ECU (normally Green/Black Wire) This is what i've read but worth double checking.

    cam sensor or one of the other engine sensors?
  14. mightyvr6
    yes, it would be interesting to know. Zerocool, what's your charger/setup?

    The fueling is supposed to be more precise with obd2 but I'm not sure how they respond better than obd1. Can't see why a different chip would be required if the maf was before the charger. Anyone?
  16. mightyvr6
    the breather is supposed to go ito the supercharger intake hose (where you've blocked the hose with a bolt). I'm not sure there is a before and after chip. Mine is obd1 and it runs ok with the maf on either side in terms of air/fueling. The maf measures the same amount of air whether it's before or after the charger. NS *should* be able to get you a chip or buy one directly from z-engineering.

    doesn't your car run rich off throttle though? When the throttle butterfly is closed, air from the supercharger is still being blown through the maf which tells the ecu to add more fuel, even though the engine is not getting more air? I've seen an obd2 charged vr6 with maf after charger and it didn't idle very smoothly? Leaving the maf after the charger on obd1 kills it due to turbulence. Some reasons why all recent supercharger kits run the maf before the blower.

    How much does stealth charge for just the chains?
  19. mightyvr6
    The maf can be positioned on either side of the charger. Whether the maf is sucked through or blown through the readings should be the same.
  20. mightyvr6
    does that mean that the manifold doesn't actually switch? If you look at the butterfly mechanism and rev it past 4K you can see the crescent shape metal pivot with the rod attach travel from it's resting point to a metal 'bump stop'. Does this mean it's not binding? If it is binding surely it wounldn't travel the full distance?
  21. mightyvr6
    Yes, like Jules says, you'll be pressurizing the crankcase by leaving the original pipe in place. I'd buy a new 90 degree samco for the maf-throttle body and get the crankcase breather plumbed into the intake if the pipe with the dv in it doesn't fit anywhere. [ Edited Fri May 21 2004, 11:14PM ]
  22. mightyvr6
    Samcos can be bought from some where like demon tweeks. All you need is an 80mm 90 degree bend, which they stock, trimmed to the correct length to fit between your maf and throttle body. Your car *should* run ok with the maf after the charger but it's best to run the maf before the charger as you'll run rich off throttle. I'm not experienced with obd2 but this is true for obd1. I do know that Obd1 cars run like crap with the maf after the charger. Doesn't Reuben have obd2 supercharged-where does he run the maf?
  23. mightyvr6
    Will the hose you've got on your charger intake fit between the throttlebody and maf? Then you can fit the hose with the dump valve on the end on the charger intake. You can't have a recirculating dv with the maf after the charger but you can have an atmospheric dv positioned between the maf and the charger. The recirc. dv on obd1 cars was to sort out running issues associated with the maf and is not necessary on obd2 as the maf is less sensitive. A dv is a good thing though as it stops air from travelling against the flow of the charger so it boosts sooner when you get back on the throttle.

    sold!

    The flexihose is to extend the maf away from the supercharger intake. You can bend the flexi hose 90 degrees (if there is room) so the maf sits horizontally or extend it vertically to take it out of any air turbulence created by the dv/impeller. Without the flexihose it must have been running super rich so the ecu was registering more air and putting more fuel in giving better throttle response etc. I've never seen a maf before the charger with an atmospheric dv, only with the maf after the charger. Jules would know whether it is possible or not to run this setup.
