So am I, cheers for all your advise and help!! Though I do blame you for me going 1.8T BAM lol
-
I'd change the LUK clutch for a Sachs and get the flywheel lightened and balanced. :wink:
-
All that chat about ignition timing and no mention of knock sensors.
Don't talk about what the ECU can't do. :grin:
-
:huh:
-
Wicked!!!! Good luck, love this as it is anyway...

your too busy breaking mikalor clamps with the "Ironarm" :smiley:
-
looks HOT HOT HOT, why not lighten the flywheel?
-
Brad and Russ, its all about the "BOOST" lol.
-
looks HOT HOT HOT, why not lighten the flywheel?
I am not a mechanic, just a player but the lighten flywheel you gain and lose some benefits. E.g. the engine is more free revving but on hills you loose some power due to the reduced mass.
But if you got it balanced with a clutch, I am guessing is more harmonic and you reduce plate friction?
Again I am not 100% sure, but thats my basic understanding.

ive had my flywheel lightened and balanced and it revs like a C*NT! but mine is an 8v

I would stick with the VR6 engine :smiley:

Hi Wayne its been a long time since I last spoke to you. You had a sick MK3 8v, painted, vento front and dropped.
I'm done with the VR tbh. I am looking forward to the challenge of a 1.8T.

You have to rev a bit more to pull away but thats the only downside and you get used to that pretty quick. You dont lose power/torque, but you will have enough on tap anyway, and you won't be spending much time between 1000-1500rpm anyway.
Less mass to rotate makes it rev quicker and acts as if the car is lighter.
An 02A flywheel gets balanced on its own.
Here what i had done. From around 10kg to around 5.5kg

Kool who did the work for you and did you get the clutch balanced as well? I might have this done when I get another box to rebuild and put in an LSD. This is a long way off lol need to get her running first.
-
id love the Ko4 from ben's S3!
we will see :grin:

Hotgolf on CGTI. Clutch don't need balancing.

Cheers Russ, Ill keep him in mind. I did see a deal on ebay for a g60 flywheel lightened/balanced + Sachs clutch but as with any build, money goes here and there. Then runs dry.
-
Nice looking motor mate...
this should be an exciting project :grin:
*subscribed*
-
Thanks fella
-
Today's update, Old engine out, Emerald ECU and loom fully integrated. Clocks and remaining parts from TPS due, then it's the next phase lol
-
this should be interesting. :smiley:
-
Oooow. Can't help but think charged vr was rarer. Keep up the build though. I like it
-

The Emerald Ecu and loom, does that connect to any of the original loom?
Thats not bad going for a days work :cool:
-
A little gutted that you've decided to bin the VRS, was following it on the VR6OC. Although it's an exciting alternative that you have picked! :cool:

Superchargers just bore me so much ZZZZzzzzzzzz
Turbo all the way
Matin, the Thing i got from TPS that you arranged for me haha.... got a reeeet story to tell u :laugh: :lipsrsealed:

Hey Toby, no mate, but...Ben did take her out. She is running a conservative 10 psi at the moment and we will be pushing her up to 18 psi +. This is not peak boost.
-
18 psi is the max, I will run. So the plan is to sort the rear engine mount out as its knocking and check out the boost pipes for moment. I also still need to wire in the EGT sensor and wide band.
JDM are going to map it, I will run close looped with a wideband lambda instead of adaptive mapping. From what I understanding adaptive mapping makes live changes to the ECU and the closed loop setup with wideband can be set with 10% threshold so it's allow some protection to prevent detonation.
Lots to learn but I m looking forward too it!
Power wise I looking for 250 - 260 bhp, 280 ft lb. So it's similar to a stage 2 revo map.
-
sounds good mate!! enough talk where's the pic's at??
you coming to the Rolling road day in portsmouth in feb, look in the meet's! theres only a few spaces left so be quick!
-
Hey Tody, I've put the pictures on my website, I'll put some links up. Not sure about the RR day, I would prefer to get it mapped properly but that's happening on the 26th March.
-
You cant have a dub rides thread full of words. Duplicate pics on here. :wink: it only needs a copy and paste.

Well all is not quite right. The Ibiza 16v clocks are having an issue with the hand break, not matter what you I do the light does not go off. Anyone got any ideas?
-
they are a direct swap are those clocks, should be no issues, i dunno how your wiring is mate with you using hacked looms for emerald (never used emerald so no idea what is involved)
have you checked the switch on the actual handbrake ??

Inspiring!!!!!!!!
-
Cheers fella.
Lots to fix still, I need another VR6 fuel pump, fix the Ibiza Clocks issue, relocate the washer bottle, relocate the coolant bottle, get a proper induction kit
after all of the above I need to find some to do custom pipework for the intercooler and then get it mapped correctly.
-
That list will probably get longer before it get's shorter :smiley:
Where do you have your meets? Brighton? I'm down there quite alot, I'll try and arrange my next visit to co-inside with a gathering.

lol thats what my wife says.
Its taken about 3 weeks to source the parts. To be honest please like Ben @ parsonsperformance and Brad aka kells have been helping me in the background.
I have loads of questions as there is always a need to tweak the setup. So its not quite finished maybe a few more months.

So I have a crazy plan, I want to get rid of the AP Suspension!!
I am after the below
Weitec Ultra GT Sports Suspension Kit 60mm

Well I've been quite for a while trying to sort out a few bits and bobs.
So I move the fast and furious gauge off the dash and put in the dash lol

My only thought now is a bigger filter looking at either the Jetex or BMC universal ones with are 80mm I/D neck to replace the K&N? Oh excuse the blue pipe and rust, one day when I can be arsed I will sort it lol.
-
Jetex FC-08005 ordered. Replaced the fake Magneti Marelli Weber 2 Bar Map Sensor with a real 3 Bar, so I can run 18psi correctly.
So all thats needed is the customer inter cooler pipework and remap by Jim @ JDM Performance.

Been a while, Ive had a few running issues. I will update the thread tomorrow with pics.

I got round to fitting the JR cone filter, thing is bloody massive compared to the K&N. The air saturation is alot better as well.

AFR and 3 Map Selector switch fitted at last, just before I need to get it Mapped properly.

Touch wood only this has been the only issue so far.....

Thought it would be good idea to show the location of the Emerald ECU. Bloody good fit.

That JR is no way bigger than my K&N mate, id say its smaller, deffo not as much gauze area
your old one can't have been a genuine K&N ?

The JR is fat compared to the K&N I have. Its the same one that is sold by Bill Badger with the 3inch TIP. Lol it better be good.
My old one is defo a K&N but came off my supercharger kit. So it was meant to be good for 300bhp.
Though I am not sure how they measure all of this lol
-
i used a S3 K&N and its bloody huge :grin: ill have to dig a pic out
-
I have updated my blog with the print outs from the mapping session.
www.lovemelongtime.co.uk
I made 254 bhp and 270 ft lb of Torque. The results are not bad, there is more power there but I had issues with high air intake temperatures on high boost for long periods of time. So a few more tweaks including a new thermostat, radiator, spal fans and larger intercooler.

Tunnel run soon!!

Seems funny hearing a Mk3 owner say that...good power tho
-
Cheers lol, I always prefer an underdog. The 1.8T was made for the MK3!!!!

Was made for the mk2 :grin:

Is there much difference when u take into account the weight etc?
-
The reason the 1.8t is known so well in a Mk2 is its common and agreed a great combo. Have you driven both a Mk2 and Mk3 1.8t?
Regarding my statement about mk4 this is in a joke with Toby as he's a local lad and the tunnel run is due soon. I actually have no idea regarding the ton weight of a mk3 vr6 with a 1.8t vs a mk4 agu k04 to be honest, though it would be interesting to know the power to weight ratio?
-
I think you should easily smoke a MK4 thats mapped for out and out BHP mate
iv had 3 mk4's, admittedly non was huge power but they are a lot more lardy than a mk3.. or at least feel it
i easily held onto a MK5 Annie which has a new shape Audi S3 2.0 TSFI engine installed (mapped to 340 bhp) and the MK5 is lighter than a Mk4 (so i believe ? )
forget the BHP.... and also a lot comes down to the driver... and the actual car set up
smoke him and shut him the f**k up i say :kiss: :laugh:
-
To b honest I haven't driven either just a mk3 vr6. Got mk4 1.8t and they are heavy lol which is a shame :sad:
Looking forward to seeing the outcome. Ur car sounds like a beast as does Toby's :cool:
Loving some of the cars on here :cool:

Same fella I've not driven a mk4 1.8t, only been shotgun. Todys mk4 looks tidy and the power delivery is excellent and it's very different to mine!
I wouldn't call mine a beast but it's fairly quick, just tweaks to improve the performance. The same as you fella!
There are some sick cars on here.

AP Coilovers are going and Koni Adjustable Sports Suspension with 60mm Springs. Old Skool is still kool!!!

Love you long time mate :laugh: :grin:

No point having a thread full of words. :wink:

I got that intercooler Toby, and I also found a fabricator for the pipework if you are interested?
-
its good quality isnt it :cool:
i dont think i need any pipework fabricating atm :undecided:
-
Yeah I like the quality just need to make some home made brackets.
If you do need the pipework done ping me. Its better to use 4.5mm silicone just for the joins, so its 4 in total.
-
Been a while, so I thought I would put up update, I bought the below.
Momo 320mm race steering wheel
OMP boss with airbag defeat
Neuspeed front upper strut brace
Large universal intercooler 550mm x 225mm x 224mm (710mm overall length) 2.5in inlet and outlets
I am hoping the larger intercooler and custom pipework will reduce the air temps on boost for prolonged periods.
