read kevs,pauls or jim potters turbo build threads,thats how i did mine,between those three you'll have every inch covered
-
yep easily, i did with mine as they're known to to handle 350+
-
all i can say is i grew up in tottenham and hackney in the same streets where all this shite is happening and i DO NOT agree with this behaviour,its pointless and its wrecking peoples lives,on the news they're saying times are hard and they've got no money or jobs,its been like that for centuries yet our grandparents never went out and trashed the place,they're not doing it to make a point its just,THEFT, BURGLARY,ROBBERY,simple and if the police as under powered as they were smashed into them and cracked a few ribs and fingers then it would have stopped but they allowed them to have an inch and they took a mile,now people have been killed and its going to get worse before it gets better,all i can say is i hope they dont use this excuse to start a race war
-
i would say de-cat it but keep the two rear boxes,keeps some torque but lets it breath better
-
have you tried splitting the cable in the middle under the bonnet,you may get more cable to play with
-
my first vr had a six branch straight through to a back box,seriously loud but you do loose some torque
-
dont know which one is which but im sure i was told to use the green fluid as the pink one rots the seals in the steering system
-
yeah he must mean sparkplugs as it would depend on what stage/set-up he's running to determine what injectors he should use
-
and you get a discount card
-
yeah thats a nice M5 but i gotta be honest with myself and say i wouldnt be able to run that beast
-
£££ plus i wanted 4 doors,im fed up of getting out to let rear passengers out
-
i've seen an ess stage1 kit with a twin screw charger which is suppose to give you more power lower down the rev range
-
as some of you may know i sold the vr6t and got an ear bashing for doing so but i think i've done alright,will be stage1 supercharged producing roughly 305whp in the near future

just happened with google chrome

[blockquote]How come you've done all the work and are now selling?
[/blockquote]
sorry to say but its sold already,it was fun doing the build and i learnt alot about the vr6 engine but realistically i couldnt really put the power down without a peloquin or 4wheel drive,as soon as it hit 4k revs it went crazy,i loved it but to get it to where i would be happy i would have to spend toooooo much, and with the sale of the vr i picked up a nice 330is auto/tiptronic
[blockquote]Sorry to sound thick but did you send the ECu off or did you drive it without it being mapped. And what he said, why the change of heart? Dont suppose you want to swap for a mk2 ? Lol[/blockquote]
sent the ecu to them with a list of my spec.
-
standard fuel reg,got ecu mapped by united motorsport

[blockquote]100 quid to rebuild it dude? i am only in witham , maybe pop down and you have a listen and see what you think?[/blockquote]
thats some serious astonishment,lol
-

-
check the knowledge vault mate,there's a guide in there for doing timing chains and clutch
-
[blockquote]mmm i am tempted now!!!lol.....what was the fitment like?[/blockquote]
fitments not an issue but i got slimline fans fitted

had black smoke coming out of mine when i started it up aswell,been told that means its running rich,is your oil air cooled ie mocal oil cooler or still water cooled?[/blockquote]
oh ok, i do have an oil cooler, thinks it mocal but will double check[/blockquote]
well as you've got a mocal you need to make sure its got enough oil to compensate for the pipes and cooler,get your boost pipes on and get it mapped
