    Its worth trying to un-seize it. The rust etc might come out with a hone, Worst case is it'll need boring. Fill the bores with Coca-cola (Pepsi wont do)

    Send us an email, we will get you sorted

    None what so ever.

    I would recommend not removing the stock oil/water 'cooler' We sell a tube that allows you to fit the stock 'cooler' along with a sandwich plate. This way it is not possible for the oil to be cooled below the factory specifications and it allows the water to be heated by the oil during the warm up of the engine.

    When the engine is running, there will be no fresh air there.

    Right where the 2 pipes join in a V into the very last single pipe.

    This will be published when the research is complete.

    Research that we are doing at the moment reveals that the brand of fuel used is a massive player in over all fuel consumption. The RON of the fuel is a by product of what is added to the fuel, so the RON of the fuel isn't directly helping with consumption.

    630cc/min and 60lb/hr are the same thing. You will need to use them on this, as pretty much everything else doesn't fit. We have off the shelf software for these injectors. We are currently working on something that you might be interested in, its to do with the control of the rear diff.

    More than likely, because they actually have a MK4 'VR6' (12v) there.
  11. UnitedMotorsport
    Likely because the badges that are on the cars are a branding rather than a description. To VW "VR6" is an engine from the early 90's, not a good marketing ploy to put that on the back of a brand new car 10 years later. On the flip side of that, the Audi TT is badged "Quattro", when it is infact a haldex 4wd system. Quattro is indeed an old name just like "VR6," but Quattro is the name of the very successful 4wd system that pretty much put Audi where they are today, so again a marketing ploy.

    So much mis-information from people that love the same thing. 'The name VR6 comes from a combination of V engine (German: V-Motor), and the German word "Reihenmotor" (meaning "inline engine" or "straight engine") - and so is described as a "Vee-Inline engine" (VR-Motor)' - from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR6_engine There is no 45 or 90 degree VW VR6 engines. The first VW VR6 production engine was 12v OBD1 distrubuter, this was fitted from late 1991 until early 1993, 2.8 in the Golf and Passat,and 2.9 in the Corrado. The next generation was 12v OBD1 coilpack, early MAF, 2.8 in the

    Oil cooler failure causing the water in the oil. Temp sensor and MAF causing the lambda/running fault.

    The block was a 2.8 bored to 82mm with forged low compression pistons. The engine was built from the ground up with a re-polished crankshaft and brand new bearings. I believe the rods are a set chosen from a batch of stock rods and shot peened. I dont remember which clutch was fitted, I believe by the time it wrecked a few gearboxes that diesel a diesel final drive and gearset was fitted. 440cc injectors and 95mm MAF housing with matching software. Like I said earlier, a full 3" TIG Welded exhaust from the turbo back, the turbo being a 1.06 AR turbine GT35R. I believe the engine has 100% A

    I think the MK2 is a re-incarnation of a grey/silver MK2 that we built for a local guy. It was then sold to a guy in essex, and to cut a long story short, was reshelled in essex into what I think the car pictured above. If the car is to the same spec. that we built, then the car, specifically the engine is wanting for nothing. It had a hand crafted full 3" stainless exhaust from the turbo back. 1.06 turbine GT35R turbo etc.

    Factory 2.8 is 81mm bore - 2792cc Factory 2.9 is 82mm bore - 2861cc 83mm bore will give 2931cc (2.9) 84mm bore will give 3002cc The bore size alone on these engines makes ~no difference to output on these engines. Have the block bored to the next size up (82mm damage permitting)

    020 parts dont fit in 02A/J boxes

    Immo is still active in the ECU, hence the fault code.
  19. UnitedMotorsport
    The 24v comes with an aux. water pump from the factory, just like the 12v did. It is on the front of the block on the 24v.

    3 drivers in that video are guilty of one thing or another.
  21. UnitedMotorsport
    If it is either of the 2, it'll be the blue one.
  22. UnitedMotorsport
    Headstuds are nothing alike.
  23. UnitedMotorsport
    There is no need for a map sensor. We have made upwards of 1100whp on a stock ECU.
  24. UnitedMotorsport
    16 thou is almost 0.5mm. ALOT further than i'd ever let an engine get worn. The block with 7 thou wear, I'd personally get bored.
  25. UnitedMotorsport
    Yeah then its worn out. What is the mileage on that block?
