  1. Standalone engine management?, all sorts of stuff expensive, how far can you map the original OBD2 ecu?, can it be turbo'd?
  2. Hehe same as mate, discussion is healthy . I completely agree with you on the noise of a supercharger, its awesome especially coupled with the VR roar. As far as i know the M90 should make 280 with all supporting mods. With regards to a turbo conversion i really dont know now lol, my Impreza ran no dump valve, as i dont like them, and the TD05/6 turbo i ran was fine with no dump valve, now all these noises like dump valves and mad waistgate chatter dont seem to fit in my mind coming out of a VR6 golf, but that said, you have seriously got me thinking now,,,,,,,,,,, i still stand by the fact kn
  3. I just don't fancy turboing a mk3 vr, my personal opinion is that for this front wheel drive a bit lardy as standard car, even a small turbo i wouldnt consider, and a big one for me, on this standard road car is just a no no for me, if i started to consider this then i should have kept my 490bhp impreza, which i sold to buy this VR. I dont see it at hassle mate, you know fabricating stuff and getting stuff to work/fit etc, i see it as an achievement when i stand back and look at it, especially instead of just bolting something on . I am currently looking at finding an M90 for a reasonable pric
  4. Hehe, well there is brandon on here that might come?
  5. That's probably where my father in law will come in to help
  6. I believe its widely known that the eatons produce more low down torque than the centrifugal type chargers,and to me more usable torque right where i want it, positive displacement chargers i think they are called?. I agree that right now the intercooler install really does not look appealing to me, especially going to that hassle may as well go turbo!, but anyway i am edging towards the M90 right now.
  7. http://www.clubgti.com/FORUM/showthread.php?t=202290 hmmmmmm And whats this eaton M112 lark lol
  8. Yes water injection, oil cooler, probably intercooler, an M90, remote oil filter, probably smaller alternator..., good lord what fun!, and this is gonna be noisy .
  9. I really need to get some sort of idea on what chargecooler i could use, before i forget the idea and use a large intercooler to keep temps down, and i know how important keeping those temps down is...
  10. I think this winter will be interesting lol
  11. Cool mate trhanks, i just saw that VR on youtube, sounds nice . I don't think it will be too much work going the eaton route, oil cooler will be needed, but the only thing that concerns me is the intercooler or chargecooler, i dont really want to chop my car about too much, i may get a different bumper, i have got a couple of intercoolers in my garage at the moment, we will see, i may look into the charge cooling side first .
  12. Ok thanks mate, i appreciate the reply . I have got a little thread going on here, and its for a DIY build, something a little different, and it would probably include an Eaton or something. I was asking for model numbers and differences/power etc of these sorts of charger, m62/m90 etc, just to help me choose. When i had my last VR i remember vortech and rotrex doing kits, i just dont quite fancy the kits, although tailored and probably better than what i end up with, i just fancy doing it myself sorta thing .
  13. Well that could be helpful , i have managed to get a Russek one too
  14. OK cheers mate, just don't normally find what i am specifically after so i would start a thread anyway
  15. I was just wondering if you knowledgable people out there would suggest some suitable sized superchargers for my VR6 golf, i know people are using the mini ones, some people suggest the Eaton M90 etc, so just wondering from experiances you could tell me some chargers with make and model number and what sort of power/boost they are good for on the VR6 engine, thanks.
  16. This happened to my old VR, leaking from the oild switches, or one of them, can anyone poiunt me the right direction for part numbers please.
  17. If i remember correctly there was never a haynes made for the VR., but i need some kind of manual, with torque settings for engine etc, and anything else useful?
  18. Nice mate, i love days like that, good bits, bad bits, and swearing etc lol, but its fun, its why we do it, and i am sure the end product will be great!!
  19. anyone got one, or a link where i can get this PDF or whatever please? Part numbers would be handy too , thanks
