[how can i make my vr6 faster? induction kit? exhaust? it's an automatic, does that matter?]

i drove my vr6 turbo automatic for three years

running a stage 1 turbo kit @270 bhp

the gearbox gave up after year 3

and the car had done 115.000 miles when i bought it

so the auto box can take some wellie if its serviced properly,

it was cheaper to do a manual conversion than get the box reconditioned,

i was quoted £1200 exchange for a refurb

[Anyone going to vw summer nights from s yorks area]

i will be there

coming from the coast

so will see you there

[oil oil, gunky poo]

you could rig up an oil seperator tank :!

that way your throttle body will stay cleaner

and you get the bling as well

getting one that matches the pipe diameter would be a bonus

[best leads for around the £90 mark?]

i would reccomend Claires leads for the money

they work as well as any i have tried

[Ibiza VR6 Turbo progress pics]

the turbo starts to come in at 2500 and hits 7psi at 3000 and full boost at 3500, so once in second gear there is no lag as the revs are allways at the right level to hit full boost as you change up.

in the lower gears yes especially with a low compression engine

the ball bearing turbo will hit boost faster about 500 rpm sooner,£1200 would be money well spent

i am making 360 at 11.5 psi

[Internal Engine Mods? Help/Suggestions Please!]

crank, conrods pistons balanced

arp conrod and main bearing bolts

expensive but super strong 2/3rds sronger than stock

heavy duty oil pump

rods shot peened to strengthen them

ceramic coating on the piston crowns

forged pistons if you are going forced induction

total seal rings

are the pistons the same size as the ones you took out?

if so you will only get half a job done.

the bores will be worn if the engine is the original one

you should really as mentioned get a rebore and use 2.9 pistons, or go for 3.0 pistons,

you will have to get the cylinder walls checked to make sure they are thick enough to take the 3.0ltr piston rebore

have a stroked crank and go to 3.1 or 3.2 ltr

the mods depend on how deep you pockets are

make sure the company reboring the block have the experience in doing them and the right equipment.(the right torque plate)

there are very few engineers that do and they will try to hone the block out,

i found out to my horror, my local engineers said they could do it, and honed cylinder 4 out a tiny bit off center and the block lasted a few thousand miles before the cylinder went oval.

[Will a Corrado VR6 2.9 Cylinder Head go on a 2.8 Vento VR6?]

[Lambda wiring]

it seems to run in line with the other wires and is not wrapped around the others

does that mean its connected to ground at the end its broken off

thanks for the replies

[my vr pulls to the left ???]

you can buy adjustable cam type lower bolts

when you turn them they adjust the camber in and out

once set you torque up the nut and bend over the metal tab to stop the nut loosening off,

i cant remember where i got them (maybe awesome gti)

the mechanic setting up your camber will usually use a pry bar or a special vw tool

[Lambda wiring]

good idea :! thanks

[my vr pulls to the left ???]

camber

i had torque steer problems

had the treacking and camber done and a new set of tyres fitted and now it pulls alot straighter than before

[Magnecor plug leads.]

i got some mega leads from claire and the car made 360bhp after being totally remapped by vince

they are £40 a set

magnecors are a good lead set in my opinion but over priced for what they are

[Lambda wiring]

any help would be appreciated

[Lambda wiring]

got some photos so it may be a case of peering into the engine bay and see where this mofo wire connects

the wiring diagram shows it connected to a dotted circular line but the legend does not tell me what this line means

[Lambda wiring]

all the wires for the o2 plug are connected

the black wire ia separate but withinthe loom outer casing

the sensor seems to work fine and does not show any faults on vag com

i will try to get a picture posted

[Lambda wiring]

hi some wiring help please (not my strongest subject)

on the loom which supplies the lambada probe / o2 sensor

four of the wires go to a connecter which then is plugged into the o2 sensor

my question is what is the 5th black wire for and connected to?

mine is cut off and icant see any where it should be connected to

is it an earth to chassis?
