    Hi All, I want to replace the cooland hose pipe running from the top of the raidiator to just below the coilpack. Does anyone know what size bore pipe I need? Cheers Alex

    HI All, I remember reading a few days ago about a few guys that are running 3 small coilpacks rather than one big one. It had a breakdown on how it was done, and costs, but I cant find it. Anyone heard of it? know where the thread is? Cheers Alex

    I know what you mean, dont want to either fit a supercharger that is too powerful, and ends up leaving the car up drivable Think 300hp would be nice though

    I think the problem im having is that to get a conventional supercharger kit is the best part of £1500/ £2000 which i dont have or want to spend. Ive had a few looks around and from what ive seen the alternator can be moved to where the aircon pump should be and the charger placed where the alternator usually is. Apparently that works. Ive already spoken to a guy that is able to fabricate the mounts and the blanking plate to go over the supercharger to create circular outlets so thats not really an issue. What do peeps think now? Still not worth it? or go for it?

    Guys, We really need to figure out if it is best to run an M62 or an M90. Which do you guys think is best? On eatons website they say: The Eaton Supercharger Model 62 is designed for 2.5L to 4.0L And: The Eaton Supercharger Model 90 is designed for 3.0L to 5.0L Which do you think is best? as out 2.8 engines are near as damb it 3l which leave us being about to use either. What do you guys think? Apparenty the M62 displaces 1.00 litre if air pers turn and the M90 displaces 1.50 litres of air per turn. Which do you think is best? Cheers Alex

    Brands hatch or snetterton would be sweet with me. Would it be a full day? half day?
  13. alex1985blue
    Ah sweet. Need to get my sump fixed before I do any of that tho. When and where were you thinking?

    What make are the 263 cams?
  17. alex1985blue
    What sort of power would I get from a set of 263 cams and a map?

    Ok, might need to up the old budget then. I was thinking of spending £1000 and doing a turbo kit like Jim potter did, but all the fabricating that he did, im not sure I would be able to do, which would push the cost well over the £1000 mark What would you guys suggest?

    Hi All, This is the epec of my car, want as much usable power for the money. Ive already got: Magnex exhaust from manifold - with cat in place 6 branch manifiold 2.9 inlet manifold 2.9 throttle body Lightened and balanced flywheel Induction kit Where can I improve? What are the best things to to to improve the power, before I have to go with forced induction. I know a Schrick Manifold is great for extra power, but dont have that sort of cash Cheers

    Great thankyou for getting back to me. Should I just be looking for cracks in the metal on the oil pickup pump? I have to replace my sump as I cracked it on a speed bump. But unfortunately I have already bought a new one and gasket from VW
  23. alex1985blue
    Hi All, Is it pretty straight forward, drain the oil, take the sump off, and put the new sump on with a new gasket. Is that it? is there normally anything else that people do mainteance wise, or checks that people do while the sump is off? Cheers for your help Alex
