  1. Hi mates, I need an advise for the proper type of spark plugs , in order to use with my 2.8 OBD1 + V9F Stage II charged Golf . Any suggestions ? ( Note i use the car in hot climate ) Also i need to get a Crankshaft Positioning Sensor. Any address would be highly appreciated !
  2. Hi mates, i decided to replace my rims from 17" to 16" . Therefore i am looking for Falken RT-615 215-45-16. Is this tyre & size available in the UK ? Can anyone advise me of a conatct name or address ??? ( I used to run on Falken's FK452 215-40-17 )
  3. this is my tuner's opinion = your engine is running way too lean Looks like a broken fuel pump or so, install fuel pressure. should go to 3 bar + boost is 3,7 bar at 7000 rpm. dont drive above 5000 rpm, you can easily kill your engine. install a 4 bar fpr to make sure you get enough fuel. the pump will more easily fail with a 4 bar fpr then with a 3 bar fpr. max power should be at 6600-7000rpm. with lambda roughly said 0,65-0,85 I think it is reasonable ....
  4. I also think, i have better measure my ful pump ... Which should be the reading ? fpr @ 4bars
  5. running fuel which is not super rated (hig octane) I use only 100 octane fuel limit in air flow both in and out this could also be an air leak. check there are no restrictions on the air filter _is it cold air feed? absolutely .Air filter is located 8cm above the ground ! then what size exhaust are you running and do you have a big enough outlet 63 mm bore fuel pressure reg should be 4 bar and red tops used for injectors. That's right ! the lambda must be working It is in place ( no cat converter ) are you MAF set up or not? MAF just before the V9F... if these ae all c
  6. Acording the Dutches, the Lambda reading should be roughly 0.65 - 0.85 ..... but check out what i saw!!!
  7. Yes ! if you can see i get a pressure of 7.6 psi. The peak torque is 30.49 kgM. It seems like lack of fuel after 5500 rpm to me ....
  8. VR6 Specialists , just told me that they can send me one for Euro 175 .... Thanks mate !
  9. Hi, mates ! I need an ECU for a OBD1 2.8 12V engine ...... ( a used one would be oK ) I my country this vechicle is rare .... Any ideas ????
  10. You are right but your idea, involves too much work ... If you notice the Lambda curves, you can see very lean mixture. In addtion as i cannot detect my engine through th OBD, i am seriously thinking that something is wrong with my ECU. My engine was recently rebuilted by a friend, so i hope everything is Ok. I doudt about the managment and other adjustments ...
  11. The red top injectors ( according the Stage 2 upgrade ) ... i just replace the fpr with the one of 4bar. No big deal ... i think the chip is responsible for the lean mixture. As i cannot "see" my engine through the OBD port, i need to get another ECU. Where can i get one ? In Greece this car is very rare .....
  12. Today i had the car dynotested. Despite the V9F Stage2 , the output was only 220PS. Note that the engine counts less than 6000 Km. I also worry about the lean mixture ( as shown in Lamda diagram ) I run a 3bar fuel pressure regulator and the VR6 Specialist's chip. Any suggestions ???? http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh280/swaper/Lamda.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh280/swaper/Dynosheet1.jpg
  13. Thanks mate .... !! I will try this week end ... Thank you all for your time ... Regards from Greece !
  14. I have already dismount the clocks, but i am not sure about the proper sequence of those red & transparent plastics .... I have 2 red & 1 trans for each clock ....i also cannot understand which OEM trans plastic i have to peel ( take off ) ..... Sorry to bother you ....
  15. If you have also turned the digital dispalys in red/black colour, pls tell me how to do it, because my english are not good enough to understand the Canadian instructions !!! I need to know where and how to place the red & transparent pcs of plastics ......
  16. Have anyone install DDI instruments ??? pls check the pict., i have some questions ... http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh280/swaper/ddi2.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh280/swaper/ddi1.jpg
  17. The location of that damn filter box is very very low .... u have to be very careful at all times ... I am trying to figure of something else, or ...lifting the suspension a bit ....
  18. I solve the problem .... Very stupid situation !! The air intake hose was removed from the charger due to a sudden hit on the air filter ( at the bottom of the car !!! ) .......
  19. Speaking about plugs, according VF Engineering, the recommended ones are Bosch F6DTC ( for hot countries). I live in Greece with my stage II VR2.8 .... Any suggestions ?????
  20. After installing the Stage 2 goodies on my VR, and i started enjoying the car, yesterday after replacing all water hoses with samco's, i noticed that the engine was not running as good as few hours ago !!! The engines missfires and you have a feeling like there is water into the distributor cap ! It starts immediately, it run very smooth at idle, but when you press the pedal , it seems that the firing order and the spark timing is from ... another car! So far i changed the coil but nothing happened. Since the last 2 weeks i run brand new leads. ( I need to know the right coil part Nr for 2.8 O
  21. Finaly, i found out (during Stage II installation) that the S/C was not properly assembled.Now the clamp is "closing" the body much better and hopefully there will be not further leaking !!!! I am too happy !!! I will check this afternoon if everything is OK. .... Now i think that the belt is too short !!!! Oh my God, will i finish someday ??? Thank u guys .....
  22. I need a picture showing the oil return hose on the oil pan. Also a measurment from the bottom of the oil pan can help as well .... I am trying to solve a problem of a leaking V9F S/C. I think that the oil level inside the oil pan , does not allow the oil return, so i have high oil pressure into my S/C , causing the problem .....
  23. I had the same problem last summer. After replacing many parts, i found out that the fuel pump was destroyed .... Check fuel pressure before .....
  24. I live in Athens, a very noisy city ... Nobody cares about the noise of my 63mm decat exhaust ... It seems to attract Hondas S2000's though !!!
