    if its that p**** on ebay with the full vortech kit, his user name is "towok" or something silly like that, dont buy it hes a con. that item has been relisted. the last time it was on ebay, he only wanted 1100, and said hed end the auction early, but he only accepts WESTERN UNION BANK MONEY TRANSFERE and comes up with every excuse not give his phone number. i asked numerous amount of times and he always came up with silly excuse. i even said il come and collect it and pay cash... again he said hes always too busy and that the only way was western union. personaly, id stay well clear if is the

    yeh will be mapped with vince.... are you still on standard headgasket with that setup?

    awaiting my charger, and it has a 8psi pully with it, was thinking to start with 6 and standard brown tops, but as im getting it mapped, might aswell leave the 8 on and get bigger injectors.... whats the next size up, 305cc red tops? wheres the best place to get them? cheers

    they are just saying that for the sake of it, just incase you listen to them and actualy do it. if they could have done you, they would have there and then

    imo its where in the rev range your car creates all its torque that determines how the car feels on the road. so realy in the vr's case, its above 4000rpm because when your racing, your nearly always above that anyway. the civic typeR that was previously mensioned, yes only creates 145lb, but where does it create it, probly at around 6000rpm where it counts as engines around that rev range when its racing. so back to the point of how it feels on the road, if on paper, the torque figures higher, but @ the wrong place in the rev range (ie lower down) when your caining the car racing, it will be

    iv just fitted these, the 268's. what did you guys that have them think of them? iv lost alot of torque imo....
  8. 6potmkII
    tell me about it £500 a go.... so are you gona put your standard cams back in? or stick with the 268's? i would have thought with a charger, low down torque would have been quite good anyway, plus itl help get traction and once your moving, off you go at 4000rpm?? im unsure what to do now...

    easi guys and girls iv heard from some people its not good to run the 268 cams with supercharger.... (not that i dont value there opinions but).... is it because it will cause damage or just not work aswell (not as much torque)? what if i was running say 6psi with 268 cams and it was taken to say vince at stealth? cheers
  10. 6potmkII
    other than 300 map at stealth, is there anywhere alse i can get a chip based on my mods for less £££? i kno a rr map is much better, but im a bit unsure with the near future plans for the engine, and dont want to waste 300 incase i do anything else major cos il have to just get it mapped again....

    thanks mate all in now, easy peasi! nuts where 20nm and bolts for sprockets onto cams where 100nm! feel more horses at really high revs but have lost torque imo!! i need to drive it around for a while to make up my overall conlclusion but 1st impresions are good
  12. 6potmkII
    as the title says realy
  13. 6potmkII
    there nuts sorry, so i assume the same nuts are ok to put back on!
  14. 6potmkII
    i believe it is, as when i changed mine, i changed the whole unit
  15. 6potmkII
    hi all im changing my cams maybe tommorow, just wondering, will i need new bolts (ones that hold cams shafts down)? also, what are the torque settings for these bolts? any other helpfull advice/tips for changing cams welcome :-d cheers
  16. 6potmkII
    as above realy, somebody i kno has these for a vr6 and i can buy them off him if i want. there brand new, he was gona rebuild but hes selling up. there chill cast and not reground worth £200? any advice appreciated komi
  17. 6potmkII
    as said previously i think, it usualy happens when its running lean, fuel starvation in that cylinder

    i think the gearbox bearings are whining and getting worse by the week! at first thought it was wheel bearing but im pretty sure the noise is from the box... few q's really.. are they hard to replace? any other vag boxs fit the vr6 to change the ratio for the better? where do i purchase/and how hard is it to fit a diferant final drive? cheers
  19. 6potmkII
    hi as above guys/girls and is it worth doing? anyone done it? cheers komi
  20. 6potmkII
    tbh wid you, i fitted the manifold when i did my mk2 conversion, so couldnt have noticed any differance. it did sound like that from the start so i assume i bought it like that and didnt notice the hole
  21. 6potmkII
    just a quick Q, timing chains will be done tommorow, and new clutch goin in as box is off. just wondering how much the standard vr clutch can take, as im going turbo in the very near future, im lookin at say 6psi/250bhp, is that ok on oe clutch? cheers komi
  22. 6potmkII
    this is exactly how my raceland 6 branch sounds, i initialy thought it was blowing from where it meets the head, but turns out, there is a pea sized hole just before 3 becomes 1. sounds like an american muscle car when cold! will get it welded v.soon

    if the car is burning oil, it could be the rings, but it wouldnt necccesarily lose power. if its burning under hard accel it could well be your rings, as sprx3 says, best way is to do compression test.

    fuel filters brand new, its an mk2 so only an 8v pump but they run at higher pressure than the vr6 i believe. its just that the fuel pump nackered i think, as it doesnt loose power as bad when its a full tank, and also the pump doesnt whine as much.
  25. 6potmkII
    come to think of it, i think its the fuel pump. is it a possibilty?
