  1. Turbo Build

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    Hi, got my 02M install booked in at the Phirm for next year. slightly different as mine is 4x4.

    imho - i wouldnt waste the money strengthening the 02A not if your going 02M, 

    02A - LSD £650+, BOLT kit for diff £80, new bearings £100, plus the cost of the cryo and labour and good clutch 350+

    build it, run low boost then convert to 02M after running it in.

    02M swap needs the gearbox mount cut from subframe and moved. 

    here is a good link - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2633108-quot-02m-o2m-6-speed-into-mk3-12v-VR6-(Pictures-Fixed)

    good luck

    in Transmission

    Posted · Edited by ssaunders

    Hi All, getting the clutch done and looking for advice on what else to change while in there. currently looking at clutch fork, retaining clip and rear main seal, anything else?

    currently 02J141719C - clutch fork - under £10 from VW main dealers!

    thanks for looking.

    cheers

    See there's lots of options for around £700. I think it's worth spending some time talking to different vendors and deciding what solution works best for you. When I was looking I made a list of what features I wanted/ need, then look for a ecu that has them all.

    and a good local tuner, Emerald are based near Norwich and could be a bit of a mission if it goes there for mapping dependant on where in the country you are.

    £695 all in sounds reasonable for a budget build. Another couple that may be worth considering is Adaptronic from EFI parts, that's what Lee is using on his 1200bhp R32T Jetta or EMU Ecu Master from Don Octane in Germany he is running that on his 1xxx polo R32T.

    Adaptronic  - http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=248 £699 with 2 meter loom and it has a knock sensor which i dont think the emerald has and an inbuilt MAP sensor.

    hi, dont think you need DBW? like i said it does the job for me, it starts runs and drives. its not very easy to self map so you will need someone local to edit the supplied basemap so factor that in to the cost of a remap which for mine was £500, did get 3 maps though! 

    the tuner i went too didnt like them much and the software isnt brilliant, Matty didnt like his..... Vince recommended the DTA, give Tim at the Phirm a call and see what he says you will then have the opinion of 2 of the best VR guys in the country.

    good luck.

    Hi Mate, no launch control on the emerald but it can do variable boost to gear\rpm with the right inputs also no knock sensors which are handy if your going to self tune. most of the other stuff most can do. what i would look for would be who near you is a recommended tuner and what ecu they tune most often.

    your welcome to come and have a look. 3k sounds a bit steep as it should be just cut the wire from the original loom and plumb into the new ecu but that will leave the old loom as well so maybe a tidy up?

    have you looked at Megasquirt? bit more in depth than the others or just a C2 generic map on your original ecu?

    I've emailed lugronic to ask about there plug and play system... No reply! Hear there not the best customer service. Was thinking maybe emerald ... Anyone had any experience with these? Also will need a base map installed as its a brand spanking new engine! 

    I have Emerald on my VRT, its ok. the lugtronic kit is plug and play. a few people i know run DTA kit and like it. if your going coil pack try the ford mod as they are cheaper in the long run.

  15. Pressure plates and clutches

    in Transmission

    Posted · Edited by ssaunders

    Hi All, total cock of a question, I don't want to spend £500 on a temporary clutch as hope to go haldex,

    I have read all the posts about clutches, standard v uprated but need some guidance.

    Sachs clutch alleged to hold 300hp/tq, is this with the Sachs standard pressure plate?

    So would a Sachs uprated pressure plate 883082 999645, with supposed 25% more pressure and standard clutch be able to Hold 375hp/tq?

    I have seen kits that are standard pp and a sprung 6 puck disc that say it would hold that amount

    http://www.dualmassflywheel24.com/4070/144/vw2012-03-11-19-52-23_6/corrado-53-i-bj-08-1987-12-1995/2-9-vr6-140kw-190ps-abv-yom-08-1991-12-1995/clutch-kit-reinforced-vw-golf-corrado-passat-1-8-g60-2-8-2-9-vr6-gti-16v-turbo-race-clutch-upto-475nm-detail

    If I get the uprated pp in future if I wanted more hp can I reuse the pp and just get a paddle clutch?

    Thanks for any input.

  16. Timing chains help.

    in Engine Parts

    Posted · Edited by ssaunders

    Hi, the VR AAA has 2 versions of chains (upto 127000 and after 127000) i think one is single and the other double...... not sure of the ABV. 

    found this deal which is great if it is FEBI

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TIMING-CHAIN-KIT-VW-GOLF-MK3-III-3-SHARAN-PASSAT-T4-CORRADO-VENTO-2-8-VR6-2-9-/181347367427

     

    im looking at doing the same but just want guides and tensioners from the MK4 if possible as these are stronger?

    good luck.

  24. Poor Radio Reception on replacement Sony Radio and CD player

    in I.C.E, Security an Electrical

    Posted

    Hi, the aerials have a booster at the base this on older cars has issues, if you had to reseal i would think that it got some water and is now knackerd (common issue) i would look at replacing it with something like this.

    http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DRA-6003_FM-AM_DAB_car_aerial.html

    i have this and it looks OEM and has DAB to boot and the whole thing is less than the OEM.

    good luck

    steve
