count me in

yup they do great vw engines and heads
they build for the vw racing scene in th USA
dont forget
Steath
TSR
The Phirm who i beleive are the EIP Tuning contact for over here
there are alot of companies over here that do great heads
the down side to ordering from the USA is import duty 17.5%
plus shipping!!
dont go expedited as it goes through the airport customs system there are alot of hidden charges (red tape)
i got an engine sent from the USA it cost a fortune

pipes look great
i am gonna see if the local college does tig welding courses
man if i could weld like that
there would be stainless pipes everywhere
-
for sure
i wish i could weld stainless
is it difficult to learn
-
any one driven a new vw twin charge
-
thats the first volvo anything
thats impressed me
ever
excellent job

the botton end is built forged pistons and Pauter chromoly rods
if i was going to build another vr turbo then my choice of pistons not be forged they are too noisy
there is a piston type half way between cast and forged which has some of the durability of a forged piston
and the tight fit in the bore of a cast piston
the name escapes me hyper something
i would reckon on taking a healthy block without a head spacer to
250-260 at the flywhee running 6 to 8psi probably more if the car was properly remapped from scratch
good old vince at stealth can do obd1 cars on the fly
i have used pre burnt chips in the past and nothing compares to a remap
some vrs run 170 stock and others near 190
thats the exiting part when the car is on the rollers being mapped
for the first time

i will see if i can find the number
the guy was based in north yorkshire
and i was told he is a master with auto boxes
i will pm you the number

want to share your thoughts on a vr with a supercharger and turbo +o(
to run sequentially
i heard vw are going to do this with the new golfs
the supercharger would handle the lower boost range and the turbo can take over at high boost levels
getting it seamless would be a task
any one seen this done on other cars?
what a project to get your teeth into
its a bit of a dream but would be unique if someone could do it
-
if any thing the propshaft would foul the exhaust
the syncros have a split exhaust from the downpipe iirc to get around the propshaft
-
i got 1 fitted and its great
-
i got a 3ltr EIP with low comp forged pistons
i would not go forged again as they are noisy
and there is quite a bit of blow by
safer to run high boost though
vince at stealth racing quoted me £2500 for a built bottom end with JE pistons
give him a call

when they say 265 bhp that means without a turbo
heres the link
what ever you do get a professional to build the engine and follow the running in instructions to the letter

160 seems alot for a simple waterpump change
more like £100 tops
or do it yourself
is the pump knackered or is it just the seal
-
Hi Tom
heres some pics of the EIP turbo core
the only thing that i think could be improved is the angle of the wastegate pipe from the manifold
-
the g68 is the sensor on the back of the gearbox whuch tell the speedo an ecu how fast you are going
there may be a wire off or a knackered sensor
check for voltage on either the blue/yellow
or the blue /white wire
terminal 30 may be the ecu live feed at the ecu plug
-
ive heard you can take off the transfer box and buy a blanking plate or get one machined out of stainless or alloy
but im not going to buy 1 unless it fits for sure
might be worth doing a search on vwvortex
-
the EIP manifold will fit perfectly
they will also give you the option of having the wastegate exhaust rerouted to the downpipe
instead of a dump pipe
they use a turbotechnics t4
i have 1 fitted to an eip manifold
-
what gear boxws will fit in a vr
are there any 6 speed boxes that will go straight in ?
-
does it start
-
i ran a stage 1 turbo system at 270 for 3 years before i had trouble
i asked the same question could i upgrade the bands on the box to handle more power
the answer was if i had enough money i mean serious money
it could be done by a specialist
it may be the torque converter on its way out
try a transmission oil change its allways best to try the cheaper option first
-
as far as i know the 2.9 has a different inlet manifold
and the ecu has a more agressive fuel map
and is suited to the 100cc increase in capacity
if you want the best out of it it will need a custom remap or a 2.9 ecu
vince at stealth has the software to remap obd1 cars on the fly
he did mine
-
well said
-
the best advice i can give is to find someone with vag com and get it scanned
-
there is a non return valve in the top of the block
on a rebuild i found mine full of silicon particles
its situated rear left if you look from the front of the car
i was told it stops the oil flowing back from the lifters so the pressure is maintained while the engine is not running
