FishWick 21 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 A few updates...Middle silencer removed........and replaced with a 3" Cat converter and resonator.The original Setrab chargecooler rad was a tad small I thought, but worked well. I've replaced it with a LHD air con radiator and that's dropped temps a fair bit due to the larger cooling area, plus it all fits neatly being a VW part :-)The flow has slowed down a bit due to the restriction of the rad, but I'll get a beefier pump!Ford Duratec idle valve added, SX fuel reg deleted and stock regulator added plus some minor tidying up :-)To balance the pleasure, I had some pain a couple of weeks ago when some silly woman turned into me as I was overtaking her. Should be getting the wing and wheel sorted through the insurance fairly soon.Roll on winter and some nice cold turbo air! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 How come you replaced the sx fuel reg with a standard 1?Great car btw! Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 and what about the Ford Duratec idle valve?? Link to post Share on other sites
Radostormvr6 2 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Like the Airbox & black cooler mate, looks very OEM.Whats the idea of the Reg mate? Exhaust needs 3'' rite though, get it sortedWing don't look that bad, good panelbeater will sort that. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Stock reg - I needed to create more room for the stock airbox to fit how I wanted, so it had to go. Plus you can't beat a stock reg in the stock location to maintain even pressure across all 6 injectors. My goals are more focused on OE+ than power :-)Power - No idea, same as before I suspect. Around 400hp.Ford idle valve - Why not? :-) The original VR6 3 pin valve is a strange beast. requiring PWM control in 2 directions. The Ford valve is a much simpler and more reliable 1 way valve.Panel beater, nah, new wing mate! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Joni 1 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm interested to see how you find the VAG regulator, also are you using the 3 or 4 Bar reg.I'm sorting my fuel system this winter so do you think the standard in tank pump plus in line Bosch 044 will be good for 400Bhp?Also where did you get those charge cooler couplings as they look just the job.

CheersJoni.[/quote']I use a 4 bar regulator, mainly because it's the pressure my injectors were flow tested and had the dead time measured tested at. The VAG regulator works fine. I've been reassessing my setup and a lot of it is overkill for the power I'm making, so I'm 'downgrading' some stuff to make it neater and more reliable and I'm finding that the power isn't suffering because of it, but drivability is constantly getting better. I have a Bosch 044 at home but haven't needed it yet. I use an intank Walbro GSS340 in place of the stock pump and that easily copes with 400hp. It's rated to 500 crank power IIRC.If you do use the 044, you'll need to feed it with something like a 340 as the stock pump can't keep up with it, which makes it very noisy. I'd also be tempted to enclose it a MK1 GTI sound absorbant foam casing.I got my coupling hoses from here - http://siliconhoses.com/content.asp?inc=product&catalog=0022B&cat=0022B Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 can i take you back to the spal fans kev..what size are they and how do you wire them up? Ive got 4 wires going into my fan motor atm. and just a little confused about how to wire them upCheers tom Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 They're 11" and 9", side by side. 9" on the nearside due to the throttle being very close to the radiator, otherwise I would have used two 11" fans.Wiring is easy, just join the two positives together and connect to fan speed 1 wire on your radiator sender, and then a ground on the block somewhere.

Phat VR6 3 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 cheers Kevalso... you still just using the single 11" SPAL fan? that work ok?his using 2 a 11" and 9"Ive got twin 10" but im going to try running just 1 10" for a while... only saved 3kg or something, would like to loose a little bit more Link to post Share on other sites
sharky_70 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 yeah but i think the smaller one is for the heat exchanger on the AWIC? single 11" should be fine i can always get 2 smaller ones Link to post Share on other sites
