    £25? At that price I predict a lot of self-soldering related ECU death incoming to the forum!

    What power are you running that needs traction control to fix it? Are you sure its just not practise that you need?
  3. rigs
    Yep

    Catch tanks are only really required for competition. The only job of that vent is to relieve pressure so a pipe to the ground does the job - it just means all the oil vapour etc... end up on the road (and on the underneath of your car)

    Which cams

    rigs replied to sixpotter's topic in Engine Tuning

    I had 268s on mine on NA and there was no noticeable difference to mid range over standard but it hit about 3800RPM and took off!

    Is the actual software not a part of the racelogic ecu? This box needs to plug in to something that is controlling the engine. Looks like a plug in module for an aftermarket ecu or something

    Take a standard vr6 with full airbox and add more sucking and thats what mine sounds like at the front (standard inlet manifold with large cone filter) The exhaust loses some of the vr6 warble but it's still there and still sounds very much like a vr6.

    I've been running a cooler on mine for a while without the standard water cooler and I'm putting the water based one back on. Your coolant aims for 90 degrees which is also where you want your oil. As far as I can see there are no drawbacks from having both. The BIG drawback I see from not having the water cooler is the warm up time. It takes a good 10-15 minutes of 50+ mph driving to get mine up to 70-80 degrees oil temperature from cold... and that's with a turbo heating it up! A mates vr only takes 3-4 minutes of the same drive with the same oil to reach decent oil temp. C2 sell an adaptor

    The breather thing isn't needed and can be ignored on a mk2. Try running the car with the maf unplugged. If it improves the maf might be dead or some wiring fault there. My one had a faulty throttle position sensor that caused the same as your "it idles and runs at full throttle but pops and bangs at part throttle" thing. Try unplugging it... if it it runs better replace the sensor. A VR6 should run normally (as in idle smoothly and rev freely) with all of the extra sensors but the crank sensor unplugged assuming normal operation of the basic stuff (coilpack, spark plugs, injectors etc...) so

    TPS adjustment

    VAGCOM !

    ALL CAPS IS VERY ANNOYING AND ISN'T GOING TO GET YOU AN ANSWER QUICKER.

    Use one of these myself: http://www.optionimports.com/aemgawiueco.html AEM UEGO. Looks good and works nice.

    I use an avcr on mine and its awesome. Very simple to install...

    1/4 mile is shorter in the states... FACT.

    Is your luuuuuuuuuurrrvely auto box broken?
  16. rigs
    It gets hot but I doubt it'll get that much hotter than the engine temp. 100 degrees odd maybe? Either way it's not hot enough to worry about in the grand scheme of things. Any hard plastics you're likely to put in the engine bay of a car with take 150+ degrees easily before they soften

    I think on obd2 TPS is built in to the throttle body. Have you tried unplugging the MAF and starting it? It will run without the MAF, if unplugging the MAF suddenly sorts it out you probably need a new one. Swap with a known working one if you have one to hand.
  18. rigs
    As goth said, let the throttle body do it's thing. It does it every time you turn the ignition on before starting it but if the batteries been off you need to let it finish completely before it'll run right. It'll sit there whining and clicking for 10-15 and end with a small clunk. Once it goes quiet it should start up fine every time you try.

    It shouldn't ever go over half... Most heat up to halfway on the temp gauge and then stay there.
  20. rigs
    Yep.

    mk2 vr VS mk3 vr

    rigs replied to johnODB2vr's topic in The MK2

    Worlds apart. Mk3s feel like tanks compared to mk2s Go for it. Despite what people say mk2 vr6s are awesome both on road and track.

    Smells disturbingly cheap. Though, off the top of my head: - No means to lower the compression of the engine - On standard injectors you're stuck at 250hp anyway - No software to run it - Dunno if the stock fuel pump is up to it If it looks too good to be true... it normally is.
  23. rigs
    C2 might do an off the shelf map that'll do the trick.

    I'm curious as to the point of this? What's stopping you just running a 14psi pulley?

    Selling a car without diagnosing a problem is insane. Who would pay full whack for a buggered car? You could lose 2 grand off the value of it just through not plugin vagcom up to it. You never know, vagcom might come up with an intermittent sensor issue and you find a loose plug on something. Ping! fixed. VAGCOM should always be your first port of call for odd issues like this. It's actually bloody clever and if it doesn't tell you exactly whats wrong it almost always points you in the right direction.
