read at the bottom, emailed him and he seems sure about himself, asked for part numbers to be sure but its late so and hasnt got back to me yet :undecided:
-
seems a bit dodge to me i will what i can dig up on this clutch its torque that kills a clutch anyway
-
i think the syncro is to do with 4wheel drive tbh with you i aint sure but from everything i hav egone through thats what it points to
-
cheers pal, im not chasing power...yet :evil:
just want a lighter pedal, as my left calf put old Arnie to shame lol
-
Syncro is 4wd but will that work with 2wd boxes.

would be interesting if it could dont you think?
-
i really cant seem to dig anything up about it working with 2 wheel drive boxes surely if it really was rated that high people would rave about it
-
i'll give that bloke a call tomorrow and verify his claims and Audi as they seem more willing to discuss mods than VW are.
-
Topher will be the man to ask :wink:
-
well someone needs to go wake him up cause this set-up will be very handy to me :whistle:
-
Im sure I read this somewhere a while back about it being able to take more power but I cannot find where I read it from now
-
thanks for that lol
-
bloke replied and this is what his email said:
You can use the 4x4 sharan or golf vr6 clutches with the 20vt engine but u must be using a g60 228mm flywheel as well, hope this helps cheers Dean-d12dub
so looks like theres a new clutch raving about :wink:
-
havent people been doing the g60 + vr6 clutch combo for a while now?
-
Yes and its tried and tested, so someone is up for being a guinea pig before any raving can be done lol
-
there are two types of this, the standard corrado G60 flywheel or the above mentioned VW OEM SHARAN VR6 SYNCRO PRESSURE PLATE , the above mentioned VW OEM SHARAN VR6 SYNCRO PRESSURE PLATE is good for up to 360bhp according to the seller and the corrado is good for up the 260bhp according to seller
-
thanks for that lol
lol, well I was going to follow that up with the link but ran out of time and had to go to work.

Well thats good to know then as I've got the mk3 vr6 pressure plate so will see how fast I burn through that then will try one of these.
Still cant find the link :laugh:
-
Jon hurry up and let me know if yours holds with your power I maybe the guinea pig when I am up and running
-
Well its all back together now but it just wont start! pretty sure its from when the key went through the wash lol, so now the immobiliser wont turn off. Got a new key just need to code it
-
pretty sure its from when the key went through the wash lol
Mate, seriously! :rolleyes: :laugh:
Hope you get it sorted soon, be waiting 'the finishing touches' on yours for nearly as long as I've been building mine (which is also an age :laugh: :grin:)
-
Yep unfortunately so :embarrassed: :laugh:
Lol, yes I know mate but if your going to do it you may as well do it properly! Like your learning! This build has been going on for a long long time but think ive finally got to the stage where i'm happy, got all the bits I need and want.
Once the key is sorted will give it a few hundred miles to make sure everything is all good then will be the trip to Rtech and see what this thing can do :evil:
-
You sure the earths are bolted back onto the gearbox?
May be the reason it wont start if its not been put back on?

Yeah there all on fine mate I havent just changed the clutch did that a while ago and its been running since then, changed a good few other bits recently and now won't start but reckon/hope it just the immobiliser
-
For your sake to save you a hea ache I hope it's the immobilizer because of the key the amount of effort you put into it yourself is unbelievable you deserve a simple.break
-
Is it flashing immobiliser activated on the dash?
Happened to my project today and I left it charging with the ignition on for an hour and it stopped flashing and let me start it!
Just something you could try :smiley:
