How much for all of it?
-
Yes crank is forged - there is a difference between a Nitrided, Forged 4340 knife-edged, lightened and balanced crank and a factory forged crank though - forged means just the way it is manufactured, material spec and manufacturing aspects like Nitriding is where the durability comes from. Rods need doing as well as pistons on a high boost build - any VR6 engine will see you past 1000hp if need be, doesn't matter on the number of valves or displacement - I would just get a 12V engine and spend the money saved on the internals personally, or perhaps a 24v 2.8 motor for it's ME ecu. Engine w

No probs - I've just posted a bit more info on the remapping page in-case your engine is about to blow up

Okay - was stuck bed ridden this week and got to thinking about the 10,000rpm question that was posted on the forum. I took a look around a file I have, it's a German turbo one floating about on ecu tuners forums and I think that one or two tuners are going to be, or are, using this for their commercial tunes. The file itself is a read only file but it is good for picking up addresses and functions on a few VR6 ecu variations. However, a lot of the protective functions have been turned off and whoever created it was also putting a map pack together - as such, some of the values in the maps/f

Newer version uploaded to Nef Moto today that has most of the Zundung features added in Z in case any of you have the older one.

Our old V6 4motion turbo developments using a custom GTX35R, going EFR nowadays.

File for some addresses on 256 ecu's, some functions and some offsets/factors online; Area's of interest; E - Einspritzung - Injection L - Ladedruck - Boost control Z - Zundung - Ignition You may notice also that I type nine in places, that's because my nine doesn't work on one of the laptops I am using, also the i is a bt iffy, so if you see njection, you know what it means! Feel free to send any oem bins to me and I may use them to see what crops up in changes/reverse engineering.

Intake manifolds.. never seen one like this before (personally)
RBPE replied to IbizaPartyBoy's topic in General Chat
It's port matching that would be the problem - drop a thread on Vortex and they will be able to tell you. VW did make the 24v engine at the same time as the 12v though so I would have thought the easiest thing in terms of manufacturing would be to make plastic ones at the same time as their 24v VRIMS. By the way, the only reason that the 12v didn't have one is that the money men couldn't quantify the cost and so Schrick bought the rights on the 12v and VW brought them out on the mk4's, which, in the US had 12 and 24v - but we got 4motion -
For those that asked - the weight of the VR6 H beam rods is 570g including rod bolts

I would still go a bit lower for an FI set-up, around 9.0:1 is what I am aiming at for with the 24v pistons, still gives good driveability off boost and you can push it to 2 bar with that ratio. However, I need 7/8 people wanting a set and then you can have what you want (so long as you want the same thing), so if there are 8 of you that want 10.0:1 then we can do it. They already do a 12v piston, I'm at work so not had much time for calcs but looking at some of the Wiseco pistons for FI VR's, they have a compression height of 32.38mm which yield's 9.0:1, the ones my supplier does at prese
-
Update: As the rods are going to be a custom order they will come with the manufacturers own bolts, I have just looked at a tensile strength test report and it was a touch over 211,000 psi, which puts them on a par with the ARP 2000 ones or you may want to upgrade to them anyway. So, this is what we have at the moment; 1. A batch of custom X-Beam rods are going to be made up, they can do 7/16 and 3/8 bolt holes so should suit both the VR and R32 vehicles. When I get enough interest it will be about 35-45 days to make them apparently. 2. I am going to design, unless someone has a spare

Few more pics: Can also do this type of I beam rod as opposed to the other ones I posted up; Some of their pics of pistons;
-
UPDATE: Talked to suppliers - plenty of VAG parts available at present but we are sorting a bulk order for best prices, plus I am seeing what we can do custom order wise for 24v low comp pistons (4032 spec) and get some 1.8T and VR6 ones too at the same time. In short, I am going to have to buy something like 300 units in total (pistons and rods) to get the best prices or get them to custom make some parts for me! Initial prices I am estimating, including UK duty/import taxes is in the region of £50-60 per unit (i.e. a rod or a piston) - so we will work with that as a base-line - chances a
-
Okay, bit more info from my supplier - seems I will have to buy at least ten sets of rods, perhaps more for the prices - there are also 159mm and 144mm H beam rods available for 20vt and ABF etc - will obviously be cheaper than a set of 6 for the VR's, so any interested parties pipe up. The VR6 rods are rated by them at 750hp and come with ARP2000 rod bolts as standard, at least 550hp for the 4 cylinder H beams. 4340 forged steel, balanced to within a gram of each other, magnafluxed, heat treated etc - pretty much what you read about all the generic rods on the market - more than 15 years
-
The 24v and 12v rods are the same and for R32 it needs to be bored for a 3/8" bolt so I can enquire if they will do that for any interested parties if you shout up? In terms of forged rods you have some that do all development in-house like Pauter/Carillo etc, about 99% of other forged rods on the market are pretty much made from the suppliers I use in China. So anything you see from Australia/US/UK that isn't an actual named brand that talks about development in-house in their own forging plant, are probably using the same rods. My suppliers are major forging plants/manufacturers with milli

P.S - For anyone playing with NMAX - there is never any need to up your rev limit to 10k, lairy cams and massively modded head about 8k at a push, but I have seen a heavily modded VR6 with a big turbo and they still produce 900hp at 6850rpm and no more power was had up to the 8500rpm red line! The VR6 engines are proper undersquare engines in that they are slow and low revving and best to tune them as such in my opinion.
-
NMAX has been changed and the warning functions switched off for that high a limit - put the post on the remap pages
-
To the guy that sent me a message about their rev limit being 10,000rpm after a "tune", the NMAX would have been changed; But they must have also switched off the protective measures for exceeding these speeds also; So - I am not sure what "tune" it has had but if there are no warnings then a lot would have been switched off
-
There are a fair few differences with the ecu's, I would always use a 022906032 ecu with the 24v/R32 engines due to the scope of differences. 256 Immo on/off on the ecu I am dissecitng at the mo is; If that fails, I have an old 256Q original bin from a Sharan somewhere
-
It could be the sensor, it is about that time that VW started changing things for the ME ecu's and parts can be a bt of a mish mash - but the 24v ME7.1.1. ecu has many more cam controls than the 12V Motronic 3.8.1 ecu's, at a guess I would say there are ten times as many cam control functions so there are functions missing which could throw fault codes. Is your ecu a 256 or 258 code - last 3 digits? These are the cam controls on a 96 12v - 256 ecu; I have some 551 Audi 2.7T cam controls I did in English, that is similar to the inlet vvt only ME7.1.1. ecu's to show the differences to abo

Okay, changed this first post. Forged rods and pistons design, manufacture and sale from start to finish. Already lot's of options available for 16v/20vt etc and some variations, have a read through the post and Ill make a note, any other engine owners you know show them the post etc......so, Need about 7/8 of you buying the same part to justify it. 1. VR6 12V/24V Forged 4340 X-beam rods are now available - 45 day turnaround, custom batch order, major manufacturers - x2 - pretty much everything half decent from China/US/UK/AUS you see on the markets will likely come from these inc.

Stand alone pants, oem ecu far better. Newer the engine/ecu, the more advanced the features are but then it depends on the mapper and/or what parts you are using - it would be pointless mapping in the variable resonance manifold features of the ecu if you changed to a SRIM! Etc. Costs roughly the same - you pay for what you get. 450hp - either engine - ARP rod bolts, head studs, spacer plate and if your engine is in bits then new rings, bearings etc, stock rods have done 700+hp, pistons have been known to blow but older engines need refreshing and tolerances renewing which would more likel

2.9 Turbo Immobilizer on/off switch (some variations can mean different positions but it gives you an idea)

Hi, sorry for not getting back sooner, mad busy! T3/T4 Turbo kits and conversions are already sorted, it's just the mapping that is getting done at present. I'm a supplier for SPA Turbo now so have been using their manifolds and Rothe as well. Would really like to do these manifolds as they look awesome but sadly not many seem interested - pipe up if you are!
