ill try that later on today.

bit of an update, this is for 8v WUR's only - as 16v WUR use a vacuum assit
so if you have an 8v your better of just replacing it with a 16v WUR!
-
Gambit,
Im still a beginner. Can you tell me where the ware up regulator is mate?
-
not really sure about 8v's, ill hazard a guess and say it'll be on the side of the block and have a couple of fuel pipes running to it
should just be a bit below the coldstart valve
-
On an 8 Valve the warm up regulater is on the front of the block just above the distributor. On a 16V is on the side of the block, gearbox end.
One thing if you get a vacuum assist Warm Up Regulator you are gonna have to get a fed for it from the inlet manifold so may have to tap and drill it.

if your currently ok then don't bother! all you'll do is make it run too rich. if you f*ck up the fuel air ratio you'll either a, run too lean go slower and burn a hole in your piston!
or b, run too rich go slower and burn a hole in your wallet!
if you haven't got access to a rolling road you can't set up the fuelling other than guestimating
-
You can set up fuel/air mixture with a co tester or a gunston colortune.
-
....not with the engine underload you can't, unless you take the bonnet off and sit on the front wing while your mate drives....
-
Or set up the mixture on the road with a air/fuel meter, like I have ;).

True, but on a standard car setting up the mixture with a co tester is perfectly adequate. Factory guidelines don't state using a rolling road to set it up. ;) :D :-*

you might need to if you move/disconect the warm up regulator so that the fuel pressure runs too high :o

I quite like the idea of sitting on the front wing while my mate drives ;)

how about your enemy sits on the bonnet and you drive! ;D

A rolling road is ideal if you want to set up the car to its optimal performance. Most garages including main dealers don't use rolling roads. All the cars i have worked on have been pretty much standard, so my methods have worked. I agree that when modding a car, it is best to use a rolling road, as that is the best way to get optimal performance out of an engine.
Whats the most i could get out of my vr6 without any head work or cams?

Apart from the usual few hp with the halfords type mods that we are all aware of, go for some serious hp with forced induction ;D. Super charging works well on the vr6 engine, no mods required to the engine for low boost. Would make a interesting project ;).

I quite like the idea of sitting on the wing and then getting michael jackson to drive after he gets an invitation to a kids birthday party.
Thats gonna be white knuckle
