    i used himiniracing for my gt3071 and wastegate, oil fittings and lines ect, schimmel performance for cams, arp hardware, clutch flywheel and lsd, both comoanies very good, best prices still seem to be in the US but be prepared for a wait, stressful bank wire transfers and big customs bills when the pacels arrive, however its well worth it and had no problem with the above companys. I see there are a couple of UK companies offering packages which may be worth a look depending if your planning to do the work yourself or not... Regards, Luke

    My charger has a toothed pulley so im guessin its a later model.. i will definately be speaking to the above mentioned companies s hear their point of view. i have been looking into rotrex chargers today and can't find much either new or secondhand. I have breifly looked into turbo options but would rather stay supercharged as im unsure whether i would get good power without spending a lot of money forging internals to run biggish turbos at high boost. Have seen a complete turbo setup on ebay for £800..can't be great. Thanks for all the info so far guys, hop the info shared will help a few people who are thinking along the same lines as myself but it seems theres a good reason why knowone runs high power on these chargers!

    Thanks for the reply Ben, its interesting you say about the zr1 and zr2 differences, im not entirely sure which one i have but will try and find out tomorrow. Stupid question but is it identified anywhere on the charger? If it is going to be tricky to up the psi i may have to look into another charger. Its also interesting you say about running it without a cooler and my engine temps are very low with the intake simply dropped down beside the charger through the foglight hole. Has anyone gone down the route of a short intake with the cooler to make it more efficient?

    I may well go with you Ben and get it mapped with the cams and 6 branch to see how it feels then. following that spend the money on pistons, rods ect and a rotrex. Ahhhhh im indecisive! :(

    Thanks very much both of you for the replys, i understand Ben has the same charger but not sure what psi hes running. Jake thats a good point about traction and i have been looking heavily into the quiffe lsd. this will be next on the list after the engine mods or at the same time depending on funds. traction is not too bad to be honest howvere tyres are not lasting long at all. MRC tuning have mapped the car previously and they willl be doing it again if i stay with the standard ecu. This is a bit of a grey area as some people like aftermarket stuff and some people say to stay with what ive got.

    Ive heard good things about bosch red injectors although unsure whether these will be needed.

    Craggsy, water injection does appeal to me akthough i havnt done research about this and am unsure about the pros and cons, ideally would like a nice front mounted cooler that works well ie doesnt loose me power and fits in the limited space i have.

    Good evening guys and happy new year. I currently have a mk2 golf with a full vr6 engine with a zengineering S/C running approx 6 psi. i have had this setup for around 8 months now with no problem but can't help about thinking of more power. Ideally i want to stick with the same charger as this will be the easiest and increasng psi to around 10psi. I Know a few people run this setup a just want some opinions and advice on setups. i realise i need to lower the compression with a spacer plate or low comp pistons ect and i have a 6 branch manifold and 263 cams ready to go on aswell. im looking into a front mounted intercooler although i am unsure about this due to the limited smace and pipework needed has anyone run the above setup with a front mounted cooler if so what cooler?

    i also can't find anywhere to buy a smaller pulley..will i need to hae one made from scratch? would people recommend uprating the fuel pump; running standard atm and also managment? again standrad with maf sensor fitted before charger.

    Sorry for the long story, any help and advice would be much appreciated, thanks for reading, Luke.

    mk2 shell with vr6 engine and charger is the way to go! will be more power, better noise! I would do that! But if youv got the above setup coming cheap be good to see something slightly different!

    Thanks for doing the pics Ben, yea ive noticed a few people running the same charger but also read quite a lot in the Rotrex chargeers being the only true choice in running 'propper power'?.

  18. Another strange running issue

    Right guys sorry its another one of these posts but i cant 't seem to find anything that matches my problem. It started at the weekend when i took the car out for a spin and the air filter broke of that is mounted down in the fog light hole, this caused it to be hanging just being dragged along on the sensor! This caused the car to run like sh@t with it hesitating really badly, not responding to throttle just feeling like it was flooding the engine, running very rich. Managed to get it home as only was a mile or so and re mounted the filter ect and took it out again. IT took ages to start however, longer than normal although it never starts first time. When i got it going the hesitating was still there although not all the time just juddering as you accelerated in most gears. It feels kinda like its not running on all 6 although it sounds fine, The MPG is showing around 13 aswell under light driving, it also doesnt rev past 4-5k rpm at which point it feels kinda like its hitting a soft limiter and refuses to go any higher. The idle is quite bad aswell wanting to stall, dipping to around 500rpm before having to save it. i Cant help thinking its something to do with that sensor (not sure what it is) maybe an airflow sensor on the induction pipe although have given the a light clean not using any products. The engine is a obd1 running a z engineering supercharger, sorry for the such long winded attempt at an explanation but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as my mechanic can't look at it for a week! :@ Thanks again, Luke
