Got any videos yet?
Went out in the car this weekend but was too excited for videos
.
Car was misfiring and after checking all the coils we came to the conclusion it must be the injectors.
After pulling the injectors 2 were totally blocked.
Some cleaning fluid and some compressed air from the local Tesco garage and the blockage was clear. -

That’s fair enough! I haven’t been on this site for a couple years and am gob smacked to see someone going for a 1000 hp vr6... amazing
is this going to be a full track car then?
My Vrt project is still ongoing, trying to fit a chargecooler in the standard vr6 manifold which is bit tricky but I’m persevering, only aiming for 400 hp though!
Car is now MOT’d, taxed & insured so fully street legal. Not really practical for pooping to the shops etc... but will be used on the road and the track.
Standard inlet?
When I turbo’d my first 12v that was the first thing to go. People get into all sorts of debates about runner length but the hubrennersporttechnic that I fitted made more power NA before the turbo was fitted than the original.
I would save your self a lot of plumbing and get a cheap Ebay short runner. -
Just read whole thread.. love it all and couldn’t have picked a better colour for the body
look forward to seeing the 1200 hp dyno... hopefully little video of it ?
Definitely can’t wait to get back on the dyno.
Don’t think I will be aiming for maximum power on the next session as I want to have some seat time before I risk it all going for big numbers. -
Started assembly today
R32 headlights
Fuel tank and chargecooler ice box thing mounted
Might have to fix the ride height a little. Or maybe it just looks high because of the trolleys
Most of the interior back in looks like a car again -
More fresh paint
Extremely happy with my decision to powder coat the wheels black. -
Starting to shine now
Excited to see the car with the windows in now.
Painter said it will be done next Friday -
I agree the painter looks very good, almost looks like he can skip polishing.
I'm amazed out how much tire you got to fit as well.
I am too. With the 10” wide wheels I have there was no chance but on the 9”s they just sneak in. -
Received some more pictures from my painter today.
I think the car is looking amazing considering that is straight out of the gun.
Can’t wait to see it polished with all the panels back on -
Mint I’ll get one picked up and then will pester you for the crane
one more thing do you have the clearance specs for the bottom end and what bearings would you recommend ? I was dreaming of silly power but think 600-650 is where the wallet is at lmfao
I would not worry about main bearing clearance in relation to power. Standard bearings and specs will be fine. -
Your a top man where did you buy your stand are you just using a normal one or a specific Vr6 one ?
Just got it from Machine mart -
You can borrow my crane but need my stand for spare engine
-
Went to pay Jamie a visit at Unitsixteeenautomotive the other day.
First Is the interior stripped. A leaking water fitting on my chargecooler has made the boot floor a little rusty
.
Happy it is looking a lot different now
More updates next week week when the outside gets painted -
-
So had a little sneak preview from the painter today.
Front bumper is looking amazing -
When's dyno day?
I decided to tidy up some wiring and missed it
Car is currently in Paint
-
Photos might help
-
Finally got it all back together ready to go on the dyno. -
Mounted the shifter today
Can’t wait to shift some gears
Piped up coolant expansion bottle -
Great to see you’re still cracking on
. I’ll certainly be watching from the sidelines.
By the way can you confirm the part number for the NGK coil packs is 06E905115E? Need to get a set for my build and prefer the look and layout with these
I will take a look at the weekend -
New track rods
More powdercoating
New driveshafts from VW
Nice to see it all coming together
At this point I just wanted to get the car back together and running. So it was a quick clean of the brake calipers and back on. I will probably get these refurbished next winter.
Mount made for my Talon switch panel. Total newb at fabrication if you can call it that but good fun anyway.
400bhp NX Express wet kit just in case
Car loaded up and on the way to the dyno
Car made 555bhp on wastegate springs which is enough to run it in and zero modifications to the standard DRP gearbox.
My Dad loves the wood but I think it has to go
After lots of thought SQS or DonOctane
decided to go for something purpose made and best of all UK made.
Time to come apart again
Lots and lots of Fing and blinding late the gearbox was out with the engine and transfer box still in position. Entirely possible but definitely yanking the engine next time.
New guest has settled in nicely
Turbo to charge cooler pipe powder coated after a few little tweaks
Had a few issues on the dyno with pipes blowing off and overheating due to air locks so re-introduced an expansion bottle back in the system.
Found a local guy to paint the car so decided on House of Kolor ‘Jet set back’ and lots of clear and colour sanding. Seen it on the tv a bunch so fancy myself a nice paint job. On area I’ve never paid a lot of attention to.- VW Enterprises, Daverse and RBPE

Ok, as promised a long overdue update.
Chargecooler painted and installed
30L fuel tank with duel -10 AN outlets. Planning on having 1 feed for electric pump to prime system and 1 clear run to feed the mechanical pump.
Fuel & Ice tank mounted
New 18x9j pro race 1.2’s that I won for a steal on Ebay, 265’s now on with no need for horrible flares.
Dash offered up, needs mounting but can’t be bothered making mounts so it will be coming back out for the time being.
Powercoated hubs with new VW bearings -

After cleaning the injectors the car ran loads better by I was still not confident that they were delivering equal fuel supply to each cylinder.
With a planned switch to E85 to take advantage of its cooling properties we installed these 225lbs (2360cc) Billet Atomizer injectors
With plans to visit SantaPod we fitted these 245/40/18 M&H race master street radials
After a few trips out on the road (sorry
New bolt made and standard pulley fitted
With that fixed we were off to Santapod
Then I hit the strip
The car needs lots of adjustment and setting up. The first run the car would not rev past the launch rev limiter i set at 4000rpm so a disappointing 16.01 pass was recorded
The next pass without the launch on this time the car bogged on the line hard but flew for the second half to net another disappointing 15.89
Given that the car should be more than capable of 10 second quarters I was a bit gutted.
That feeling only grew as I drove back to the pits after the second run and started to hear the faint and ever growing sound of rod knock
After pulling the head and being able to push piston no 5 down I knew it was definitely goosed.
Time for a rebuild
