  1. Agreed! The vr6oc could perhaps branch out to alternative markets.. But personally i do like a sausage fest lol
  2. Have had 2 vortech vf9's, vortech vf1, rotrex and 2x turbos and i would suggest that if u want more power than most (350+) then u need to look at internal mods first then dont waste time on a charger and go turbo straight away.. I however u want to sit with an average acceptable power increase then a charger is best on stock internals.. This will give 250-300 reliably with no major engine work.. All cases will require a decent map and can run from stock ecu.. I am currently working on my mk2 van conversion with a stock vr6 engine and t3/4 turbo upgrade with short runner, expecting 400 ish pn s
  3. Though we could use this thread to post some of what we find on our web browsing / journeys to show some clever things people have done! Ill start with this.. its quite long, but pretty mad! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=RobaJKGMMiE
  4. Will be here from 730 mucker so will see u when u get ere Spreadsheets have not been used as yet.. We are still restructuring the main business and as such have bigger processes to apply first!

  8. Update from saturday.... Thanks to Parkie, Russ and Bungy for offering services for the morning.. so we managed to get: the fuel tank pump and wiring sorted Fuel pump and filter in position Up rate the vr fuel lines Installed the brake line extensions Mounted the intercooler Fitted the rad and water hoses Fitted the boost hoses Got the carpets back in and the seats in position. Sorted the boot out as now finished! Started to template the exhaust pipework Since then I have now ordered new 76 nd 63mm boost hoses and pipework, and sourced an amazingly cheap turbo replacement or the old t3/t4! And

  13. Nicely done and plenty of notice either way so im 100% committed!
  14. Enough you fools! Tomorrows action plan should see us fitting the oil feed, water pipes and boost hoses. Front end back on and fuel tank wiring Once thats done, the interior can go back in and then its just welding and fabrication works.. Coffee and croissants will be ready from 8!
  15. Yep, my vrt is obd1 and has plenty more than 300 available!!
  16. Youll be fine chap.. The mk3 cab is a fairly straight forward conversion and as has been mentioned before u got a whole donor car so you will have every thing u need!! Patience is whats needed not huge skills! Keep it up and it wont take much longer
  17. My understanding of the reason is running this power through the setup has caused crank shafts to dissintigrate on a couple of occasions and by purposely using a DMF as the weak point we should offer a margin of protection to the engine and transmition.. With that reasoning I kind of agree that id rather replace a flywheel and clutch than a total engine rebuild..
  18. After a lengthy discussion with Andy i'm gonna sticknto the dual mass.. Just gotta source one thats going to be most suitable.. Found this little youtube clip for those that on know how it works that makes a little more sence!
  19. Graham had a long wait for his rado lights but did get them! He also sent them back and did get his refund! I honestly believe they are a smaller outfit and manage to keep end user costs down by no having a huge stock overhead. Unfortunately the down point is delivery times would be dependant on maximising order transactions. Were in the same boat with our business! I would suggest as daz has said, get them to check stock by phone and ask for an honest estimation for delivery times..
