    It was a bit drastic I suppose, but when it cracked I just thought well its gotta come off now and its already broken so mite aswell jus rip it off! That's deffo the tightest fitting splitter ive ever seen, usually they just fall off!
  4. L55KE B
    Haha! That would be me that ripped the splitter off! Lol Bloody cheap eBay crap! I didn't even pull it that hard and it just shattered in my hand absolutely no flex at all! Annoyingly I ended up taking the bumper off in the end so they could strap the car down so could of saved the splitter! Lol But that aside it was a good day with a good turnout of cars and it was nice 2 meet and chat with other like minded vr enthusiasts!

    Oh rite the v1 im not too sure about but it's still probably worth buying a belt as it's only gonna be about £10, see if it fits and if not you should be able to work out what size you need from there then u can return the belt as it was the wrong size and get your money back.
  6. L55KE B
    Just my 2p but I recently replaced the belt on my mates Corrado that's running a vortech v9 charger with NO aircon and I just used a standard vr6 with aircon belt and it fitted fine. So basically if you need a aux belt for a vortech charger but your car does not have aircon you need to order the standard belt from a motor factors that is for standard vehicles fitted with aircon. Hope that helps.

    To convert to coilpack you will need to change both of the looms (engine loom and fusebox loom), the ecu, the upper timing chain cover with cam sensor and the cam sensor pickup on the cam sprocket and obviously you will need a coilpack aswell. Or you could just put the dizzy stuff onto the 2.9 if you don't managed to find an early engine with dizzy already. Hope that helps

    Yea they still sell it, i jus got a 20L drum today from Milton keynes TPS but don't think they call it synta silver anymore... They just call it 10/40 synta, well that's what the label says anyway.

    Have u got into the car yet? I've also got no locks on my car so when my battery goes flat this is what I do Jack up the front of the car. Carefully Attach the red jump lead to the power cable connection for the starter motor (but make sure it does not touch any part of the engine) Then attach the black jump lead to a good clean part of the engine or gearbox. Hook up the other end of the jump leads to a battery or car and you should should now have power so you can operate your remote central locking and get into the car! Hope this helps

    Have you checked what temperature the fans are actually coming on? I had a similar hot running problem with mine and i noticed the fans were coming on later than usual it turned out it was the fan motor that was faulty, it is a 2 stage fan and on mine the 1st stage packed up so it was coming on late when it had reached the higher temperature for stage 2. I replaced the fan and problem solved. Its quite easy to check the motor you just need 2 bits of wire and battery

    No its ok im more than happy to use the oil you recommended, infact i just got some 0/40 castrol edge sport so that should do the job perfectlty. Thanks for your help.
  12. L55KE B
    Thanks for every1s input and ive also been told by somebody else they use 0/40 in there zr2 so ill just go with that and it should be fine. But i would also be interested in speaking to the company that deals with them if you can find the contact details for them? Also does anybody know if you can get different pulleys for the zr1 so i can run more boost or will the cogged pulley setup of the zr2 fit the zr1?
  13. L55KE B
    What a result the search i used was still saved so here is the link for the manual. http://philhalbasch.com/charger/MK3_VR6_FITTING.pdf i think its on the last page and they say you need to change the oil every 15,000 miles
  14. L55KE B
    Your right in saying they dont have an oil feed like the vortechs but if you look closely they have two little grub screws that are opposite each other and this is apparently how you fill them with oil. ill try and find the website again and put a link up cos it took me ages to find it but i have it saved on my computer now.
  15. L55KE B
    Well that also what i thought about the zr1, that they are sealed units with ceramic bearings and dont need any maintenance but apparently there is two different zr1 chargers and i dont mean the zr2 with cogged pulleys. ive been told that there is a very early zr1 and then there is a later zr1 still using a ribbed belt but has the oil reservoir.(which i believe is the 1 i have) I found a installation manual on line in pdf for a zr1 and that also said about changing the oil and i have a mate with a zr2 and mine looks basically the same as his and has the little grub screws that is used to fill

    Hi guys i have just got a z-engineering zr1 supercharger and i would like to give it the once over before the summer festival at the pod this weekend. so would like some info from people that have had experience with these chargers. The main thing is what grade of oil do i use? i have spoken to various different companys and done endless searching on the net and this site but i keep getting different answers! The common choices i have come across so far are: 10/50 fully synthetic 5/50 fully synthetic 5/40 fully synthetic some one even suggested 5/30 fully but i think it may not cope to well wh

    Im in the process of r32 conversion on my project corrado however i am using a mk5 r32 engine but most things are the same. Here is a brief rundown of your questions 1. You can use all vr engine and gearbox mounts aslong as you use the vr6 o2a gearbox 2. You can use all vr cooling hoses but you will also need to use the vr6 thermostat housing and water pipe 3. As already said vr management has been done but not really worth it, best option is either r32 management or standalone, im using r32 standard management and getting my loom done by a company called south west in car tech aka vagdoctor f

    yer ive been trying to get them since you last told me about them and ive been in regular contact with john dougherty for nearly 2 months tryin to get some but he keeps sayin he is out of stock of new billets so cant make any but will let me know when he has them in stock but as i said im running out of time now as ive nearly finished my engine and need some cams asap.
  21. L55KE B
    Hi just come across these cams but ive not heard much about them and cant seem to find much info about them on here and would just like to know if they are any good? Ive been looking for a set of cams for ages now and am running out of time as ive nearly finished rebuilding my engine and they seem a reasonable price coming from a uk dealer at just under £300 delivered for the 266' cams. www.catcams.co.uk or can anyone else recommend any decent cams around this price?

    well the engine didnt actually blow but the piston rings went and when i done a compression test no 5 was down by about 20% so i then done a wet test and the compression came strate up again and it was also misfirin badly and blue smoke was coming out the exhaust so it was pretty bad, when i stripped my engine down i noticed that half of the fins on the water pump had snapped aswell so that didnt help much. ive got a few grand to spend on parts so any suggestions on the best mods to buy will be good, ill probally end up putting a supercharger on it soon but for now ive gotta get the engine reb
  23. L55KE B
    Yes i have read elsewhere that the 3.0 is a bit too much so i think i will go for the 2.9 and ive seen some pistons by eip tuning so ill probally get them and put a set of cams in and get the head ported, is there any other internal mods that will need to be done?
  24. L55KE B
    Hi i have just blown my engine last weekend at santa pod so have decided to rebuild it so can anybody give me any advice on the best set up to use(im considering going for the 3.0 overbore is this any good?) and who the best suppliers will be to get all the parts needed any advice will be a great help. thanks
  25. L55KE B
