I was dreaming of silly power but think 600-650 is where the wallet is at lmfao I would not worry about main bearing clearance in relation to power. Standard bearings and specs will be fine.

p0u1 14 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I agree the painter looks very good, almost looks like he can skip polishing. I'm amazed out how much tire you got to fit as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely can’t wait to get back on the dyno. Don’t think I will be aiming for maximum power on the next session as I want to have some seat time before I risk it all going for big numbers.

I haven’t been on this site for a couple years and am gob smacked to see someone going for a 1000 hp vr6... amazing is this going to be a full track car then? My Vrt project is still ongoing, trying to fit a chargecooler in the standard vr6 manifold which is bit tricky but I’m persevering, only aiming for 400 hp though! Link to post Share on other sites

Car is now MOT’d, taxed & insured so fully street legal. Not really practical for pooping to the shops etc... but will be used on the road and the track.Standard inlet?When I turbo’d my first 12v that was the first thing to go. People get into all sorts of debates about runner length but the hubrennersporttechnic that I fitted made more power NA before the turbo was fitted than the original.I would save your self a lot of plumbing and get a cheap Ebay short runner.

matty.vrt 120 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Got any videos yet?Went out in the car this weekend but was too excited for videos .Car was misfiring and after checking all the coils we came to the conclusion it must be the injectors.After pulling the injectors 2 were totally blocked.Some cleaning fluid and some compressed air from the local Tesco garage and the blockage was clear.
