  1. Also my bro inlaw baught a motor with one key filled in all paperwork drove home parked it in his drive ............ Phoned insurance to make policy permanent rather than a temp............opened front door to confirm reg and it was gone lol....... I pissed myself when he told me, thank christ it was just a rover lol

  2. Trini I can vouch for this chap......I baught an engine off him last year ........... and the charged green monster he has hiding down some really bumpy track past a lake and into a shed is something else lol

  3. That is the whole point in my questioning here, to get an education other than running straight into it and f-ing the car up its alright saying I want to do it cheaply but I also want to do it right. I wont start this until all parts are here and ready to go so time isnt an issue I can wait to get all the correct parts. This c2 fueling software what sort of money is this running out at, also this way replaces the whole FMU set up then?

  4. This is it I did a head gasket and changed piston rings in January on my last VR so the timing, removing the head and replacing it is not what has me worried. Its making sure I have all the new pipes connected in the correct places lol. I did head gasket with info I got from forums on here. So the plumbing from turbo to exhaust and turbo to intercooler then fuel lines to begi fmu and so in................ I know roughly but may need a few pointers on the day. So if I just use a SS gasket thats all I need no spacer??? ;) Cheers

  5. I Have stocck cams though aswell Jim. I was just having my fifth read of your thread trying to see deeper detail on the pics I will let you know when I plan to start this may be a couple of months yet to get all the parts together ................. So if you wouldnt mind answering a few e-mails when I do as I think the questions will be flowing lol ........... Planning on doing it over a long weekend Friday evening until Tuesday. I will have a mechanic on hand to help aswell. Told the Mrs u reckon she could be good for 300bhp and she said "Burried or Cremated Love" dont think she is too fond of the idea ;)

  6. dont forget to call people like NS racing etc etc as they have 2nd hand parts on their shelves aswell from time to time....

    Cheers mate I was just on begi home page and $199 for the unit so thats not too bad really............. I reckon I could beat Jims £1k conversion lol as my friend owns a Large Nissan Breakers and he has supplied the turbo and cooler and plenty of piping lol so I am looking at Head Gasket will a standard steel one do or do I need a spacer .....

  7. what about a 7:1 ratio such as this one ....... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Universal-7-1-FMU-Fuel-Management-Unit-Regulator-6_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZQ7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a30QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1262QQhashZitem3345b48a2aQQitemZ220212791850QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    This is new to me basic mechanics upto head gasket replacement I have completed but this turbo conversion I am not understanding the FMU business at all....... will prob just go for the begi to be safe.

  8. Its a fully adjustable one though........... I e-mailed the bloke yesterday telling him what I am planning on doing and he said "Thats exactly what it was designed for perfect for the job, this FMU was designed witha vr6 in mind" is he basically full of bull and trying to get a sale. He offered me other parts manifolds and intercoolers and so on, and said if I had any problems during fitment e-mail him............ I am just after a cheaper alternative to the begi fmu thats all trying to keep costs down a bit lol...

  9. Its the 2 highline colours old argument you have just got involved in fella .............. Dont agree with him argue your point lol mulberry vs black ............. I didnt want to be part of this war so went for dragon green with cream lol ...... ;) You will have pleanty of backing from the mulberry squad they will be here soon lol
