VIVW28 is correct a diesel 02M box would kill a NA vr6 I would use R32 and convert at a later date.

Ok, so I've been running a DRP 02M now for the past year and a half. The gears are super short and I find myself living in 4th, 5th and 6th all the time. I would like to change the final drives to gear it all up a bit, giving me 6th gear as a nice motorway cruiser instead of been on edge ready to rip. I have bought an ERF 02M gearbox and had planned to swap the final drives over but some one suggested just swapping the bell housing over. So my question is will this work? And does anyone have experience with 02M's and final drives?

With what coil? With standard coil, no issues for last 3 years.

looks awesome mate a real credit to your workmanship, got any photos?

I run BKR7E's out the box no gaping required
-
BKR5E defiantly not. BKR7E work the best in my experience.

I use Siemens 630cc and have no issues I cant see the point in paying more, maybe on 4cyl 16v/20v layout spray pattern and other things become more important but due to the layout of the vr6 head, with 3 cylinders at the back it is not really worth it. if you are making the investment into forged pistons you can get an optional top coat that is good for nitrous applications.
-
Very true i ran mine with standard head for about 3 years, but with BVH it is soo soo soo much better both on and off boost its like a different car.
-
Think the old 12v is about done at 7500 even with this setup i would make that your limit revs kill engines, if you require more power up the boost.
-
Standard valves cope fine with the heat and they have been proven to work well over the years on many turbo builds. I have Firera over sized valves and titanium retainers, why you ask? No particular reason other than when spending the money on good quality valves why skimp on retainers, i also run HD valve springs as this is advised with high lift cams. sp turbo sell a kit so you can diy BVH rather than pay the shipping on a built head. I'm finding since i have fitted the sp turbo BVH im making 5psi between 2500-3000 where as i was only making 1 maybe 2 before.
-
Very true.
-
Manifold looks mint make me one lol
-
normally the weld cracks on the rear bottom left or right it can be re welded easily.
-
Ihad john sleath map it he was amazingly talented he managed to get 360bhp from 11psi
-
Stick it on mate and tell us what its like, they has to be a first time for everything.

Had loads of problems with mapping it and all of a sudden one day it would run crap and I would have to alter the map, could never get cold start right, used to just cut out sometimes when it got hot. It was the k3. Some could argue that all my problems were down to my lack of knowledge on standalones and trust me at times it had me doubting myself, I like the c2 chip the best runs like stock till 3000 then all hell brakes lose I've ran 7psi 300bhp 11psi 360bhp and 24psi 449bhp and that was on a 170000 engine with un-equal compression ranging between 6-8bar it's amazing.
-
Trust me there's no lag with the .82 and makes 24 psi at 3500 and 30 at 3700 and holds it to the redline. I think .63 would choke it up like a ko3 on a 1.8t,

Lowering spring reccomendations

Eibach and BilsteIn shocks are said to be a winning combo. -
Lets see them then.

On the management side i run 630cc C2 tune like Maiden and love it if you go stand alone go expensive eg... DTA, AEM or similar I had a emerald was poo i mean dog poo lots of issues.
-
550lb maybe the limit with the full strain and pure grip of a 4wd system but if your running 2wd the reality is you can run much,much more. As for the GT3582R the .63 hot side is far too small more suited to say a 2 litre evo. I run the .82 which starts making boost a 2800 and makes full boost about 3500 but always wish i went for the 1.06 like Maiden as a small hot side restricts higher in the rev rage raising EGT's especially running 30psi
