MaidenVR6 26 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Very nice project! Fingers crossed for your clutch. Good luck with the car. Love the turbo choice. UM Pro-Maf is not wrong either Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks man. Hopefully clutch will be ok, heard a couple of horror stories since I bought it but then I have heard the same about a good number of the other ones too so hard to know when there are so many conflicting reports Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Courtesy of United Motorsport my new 24v lump now lives. Couple of niggles to sort before it gets back on it's wheels but hopefully not too much longer. Will update in detail when I get time to write it up but for now here's a few pics and a wee video of it running after initial start.Couple if engine bay shots from the finished result. Standard inlet will have to do for now but is only temporary.Just for you Tony! The rad and fan setup works well so far, fan comes on at 70 degrees with no issues. Will have to see how the rad performs in boost and on the road though. It is on there as a trial and if it works any way well I'll be having a custom ally one made for the job with better cooling efficiency.UM flash, did some security measures in case anyone fancied their chances at stealing my ecu to copy it...After a few hours of effing about trying to get the ecu to take the flash it turned out to be a silly alarm remote issue preventing it. With that sorted I was never as glad to see this screen!Short uninteresting video to prove it actually does run lol Link to post Share on other sites

palmer 17 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hello m8 this may sound stupid (but hey u gotta ask to learn rite), When you fitted the 24v lump did you have to alter the rear mount as the mk4's run the dog mount ?? Or do the mk3 mounts bolt up to the block ok ??Any help would be ideal as i shall be droppin my lump in soon when ive pulled it out donor lol, Cheers m8, Lee Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 If I remember right Gethin has modded subframe to run a dog mount.....either that or I've gone mad and someone else has done it Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 He doesnt run a dog bone mount. Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I've used a United Motorsport 02M transmission adapter mount, standard rear 12v mount which bolts straight to 24v block and had to adapt the front engine mount. This is only if you use the 02M 6 speed....most people over here seem to use the 12v 02A box because it all bolts straight up.If you use the 12v 02A transmission you can use the OE 12v mounts all round. All that's required is a spacer on the top bolt of the front mount.Craig, think you're thinking of Kristan/Maiden VR6 Link to post Share on other sites
