    Idle speed

    mightyvr6 replied to spanky's topic in General Chat

    Now that is a high idle!

    matth76, its just a polished manifold with no cover.

    Can't see that making much difference but combined with a late plastic cam cover would help lower intake temps significantly.

    Needs someone to post up part nos for the US mrk 4 12v vr6 metal headgasket and the UK vr6 12v metal headgasket to show if they are indeed different.
  5. mightyvr6
    You want to lower the CR if anything not raise it!
  6. mightyvr6
    Got to me careful if you are using the correct metal headgasket (ie not the US mrk 4 12v gasket) with a supercharger/turbo as you don't want to raise the compression ratio.

    Sounds like a leaky oil cooler or a leak on the oil filter housing.

    It's actually quite good economy on the motorway. I've had about 30 mpg cruising between 70 and 80. My overall average is 24.

    But you don't want 268 cams and a supercharger so it's one or the other. I know which one I'd go for.

    That is a result! Most powerful s/c vr6 I've heard of anyway. Is that with lowered compression?

    It's called a short runner or log manifold designed for forced induction cars. Its basically for use with a front mounted intercooler or chargecooler as it makes the piepwork easier to route.

    I use NGK BKR6E which is one grade colder than the stock plug. I've also used Bosch F6DTC off mrk 2 Golf 16v which also work well.

    C2 Motorsports sell them.

    The inlet is the big black thing at the front of the engine. Its called a short runner or log manifold.

    That looks a bit worse for wear. Glad I'm getting my Luk clutch swapped soon for a genuine item. The strange thing is the oem clutch is made using a combination of Sachs and Luk parts (mainly Sachs though) but it's much better quality.

    When I had the maf after the charger, the car had a really rough idle and was very jerky on part throttle. Everything was ok when you put your foot down but otherwise it was a pig to drive. So I relocated it and ran a dv and it made the world of difference. Now I had a smooth idle and it was just like a standard car on part throttle with no jerking. Notice all current s/c kits place the maf before the charger. There's a good reason for this. I'm obd 1 btw, which is more fussy than obd 2. Are you obd 1 or 2? If you are obd 2 you may find it runs ok with the maf after the charger. I'd try both m

    I agree with that mine looks the same even with a fairly new head gasket. The rocker cover gasket doesn't seem to seal very well. Maybe thats why VW changed the design on later vr6s.

    It runs rich because the maf sees too much air if it's too close to the charger. A diverter valve prevents air from spiralling down onto the maf by directing the air towards the impeller and away from the maf. You don't need a bov with the maf after the charger but if you don't fit one you might find it doesn't boost as fast when you get on the throttle. Personally I prefer the before the charger location as its super smooth and the diverter valve prevents the air from travelling against the flow of the charger.

    If you have the maf before the charger you have to have it at least 8 inches before the charger impeller. You need to run a recirculating DV as well or you'll run rich and the car will stall a lot. Pic: http://photobucket.com/albums/v406/corradovr6sc/?action=view&current=z-chargermafrelocation.jpg

    I'm sure Halfords do a mixing service and they can mix any colour you want. You can buy it from the dealers too.

    Have you got any rough figures? Can't seem to find any anywhere!
  23. mightyvr6
    Is that a raceland system? Looks nice but are they an improvement over stock?
  24. mightyvr6
    hehe What a waste!

    Shouldn't it have a flange on the exit pipe to connect to the cat pipe?
