Jnl racing? Think they are over that way somewhere

Right, I have a 7lb lightened and balanced flywheel on my mk2 vr and its producing 174lb/ft, now I'm just wondering whether the torque output would increase if I went back to a standard flywheel...anyone know? also where would it gain the torque if it did increase? would it be low down, throughout the rev range or top end? Cheers Dan

I had a 3 box magnex on the last one, but I felt it was a little too quiet and after driving it with just the manifold and decat, I need more volume!

Mine during build, now being part broken and soon to be resurrected in an Oak Green guise It just looked so pure at this stage

Crud that doesn't seem to work either, is the problem perhaps something to do with the same issues effecting the PM inboxes?? cus I'm not a virgin link inserter, in fact I'm nearly veteran status :-d

Thread ressurection! Just wondering what exhaust is on that R32 in the vid, any one know? Heres mine, although I have cheated as it only has the manifold and decat but sounds awesome...well I think so anyway lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og8w2GHISs0 I did actually take it for a 15 min spin like this and at full chat it was sublime, I had a massive headache when I came back though lol Hope you like.

That seems pretty impressive for a lardy mk3 :-p Whats this 2race pipe2 you talk of? is it just a straight through pipe? Just wonderingb what it sounds like as contemplating it for my new project Dan

Well I've made a decision to just go down the head spacer and arp route, I just get carried away and like shiny things!!! :-d But doing the above will mean that I can spend all the money on the parts that count, and it will be up and running sooner so its win win really, and as you say should the engine go pop I can get a replacement with relative ease. I'm currently running approx. 200 once remapped but would just be happy to break the 300 mark to start with as I don't want to be buying new gearboxes left right and centre, plus its all going to be in a mk2 so even lighter than the mk3. Its g

I hear what you are saying bodge, but the idea is for me to gain a better knowledge of the vr engine by rebuilding one to use in my car at some point in the future. I don't want the hassle of having to try and sort out any extra wiring and I don't want to pay £1800 for a pre-made R32 wiring loom for my mk2 (thats the price stealth sells them for apparently). So I thought rather than spend 4K on going R32 and spend 2 large lumps of money and end up with only 270bhp after a remap, I thought I could build my own engine, take some pride in that fact, and end up with something putting out much mor

Thats just what I was after Tony, thanks so much for that. Think I will go for uprated parts.....how much power is the standard crank good for? can you even buy uprated ones?
-
Everything is going to be new as its going to be a long gradual build as I want to take my time and get everything spot on so money isn't really an object
-
I just want to know the parts required, not specific parts so I know I'll need the crank, con rods, pistons and oil seals, rod bolts, oil pick up and pump, sump and gasket...what else? Cheers
-
Are they all the same once bare? I'm planning on running an OBD2 head on a Raddo block in the future but want to get some headwork done without having to take my car off the road, so just want to know are they all the same with interchangeable parts? as trying to source an OBD2 one specifically is proving quite a challenge. Cheers Dan

Hi guys, I'm looking to do a long slow rebuild of a bare 2.9 block. It is destined for a turbo application but I want to do all the work (or as much as possible) myself as I find thats the best way to learn (I have learnt loads already from converting my mk2 to VR6). Anyway, I am after a comprehensive list of parts that are required for rebuilding a bare block.....I don't need specifics such as JE pistons just pistons will do. Oh and do you guys think its worth rebuilding with uprated parts or go with new standard parts? Cheers all Dan
