    When you talk about engine longevity you are talking about forces exerted on the engine; stress, twisting/shearing forces etc so first port of call is what causes it. I'm amazed by people that spend little time on the fuelling side of things, opting to "upgrade when I reach the limit's" or even rely on the ecu to make changes if needed. Detonation can cause pressures tens or even hundreds of times that of a controlled burn which inexorably lead to component failure, same with excessive heat if a tune's too aggressive and has little or no component protection in place (seen plenty

    I assume you are on about these rods; http://www.fcp-engineering.com/h-beam-steel-connecting-rods/106-vw-vr6-r32-28-29-32-special-turbo-161mm.html I've not used them yet myself but know a few tuners building and running around 600hp with them, non UK so didn't see what they did to the engine - so for interference I suppose it depends on your valvetrain set up but there's 3mm length difference according to the site there. Just drop in with stock pistons, alternatively there's the spacer plate and rod bolts/head studs route. Not a lot needed for reliability until you

    This still for sale?

    Did the Kinu on Japanese cars, not bad, make sure you factor in import duties and what have you in case (26% of unit and post price ish) which brings them up to sort of Precision Turbo level, GTW's not far off. The guy that does them was the partner of Kinugawa apparently but they fell out so he went the lone route - probably basically the same things. Good for what they are, I'd just look into what it can cost with the duty and look into other things. A friend has been looking at them and with the duty and cost of a recirc etc an EFR on his 20vt will not be much more f

    Yeah. T3 turbo will fit T3 manifold, get the measurements for cars and try and work them out, can clock turbo's, counter-tap manifold for fitments etc, tune might be an important factor regarding the manifold to think about too - but these'll go off topic for this sticky.

    No excuse! You leave the family expect the worst! Welcome back any way, although I still think the mk5's are dog ugly! Awesome ecu's though!

    The top link is a Rothe knock off and the bottom link is an SPA knock off - neither of those companies like that fact, in fact Mallon stopped making his for the well known turbo companies I think due to it. It's the quality variances to think about, the differences in the 25 years of SPA casting and/or Rothe material spec which add's value and thing's like porosity in manufacturing for example; http://www.afsinc.org/content.cfm?ItemNumber=6933 Do you really want to skimp when such things are subjected to 1000*C temp's? I believe Kev ran an SPA knock off on his DIY Turbo

    12v VR6 turbo

    RBPE replied to raj_vr6's topic in Engine Tuning

    I'm itching to use a GTX3584, I'd say yes for a 600whp set up - go for around 1a/r at 600 - it's all kind of changing at Garrett to keep up with the Jones' though, all the Gen 2 and buy comp/turbine seperately - you can dig out the odd old GT35R from some - sort of a transitional phase and Brexit here for prices, lucky in the US for those things! Yeah - got the axis mixed up though I think? I type quickly - x axis lbs/min times 10 for rough hp rating, 1 on vertical is ambient (outside) pressure so 1.5 is a half bar boost etc - Garrett's guide gives you rough equations, I'd type the

    Tuning's about the hardest thing you could do with that - if you look at the HGP twin turbo's they retain single airbox and maf (hfm) due to that's how the oem has it set up - it all references one air sample point (the hfm). Integrating 2 would be very difficult on oem due to that, lot's of custom code integrating maps/jumps etc, not sure on options for aftermarket ecu's, you'd have to have a look at each one! If I was you though I'd look into the mass and size of a GT35 compressor and turbine wheel and look into gas flow dynamics at various (loads/flows/air speeds etc) and see if

    Anything from a £20 flashing tool to £200,000's worth of equipment really! There's various elements to tuning and variances between ecu's/brands so you start by what market you want to do it for and work from there. Cheapest way to tune a car for yourself would be to get a cheap ebay clone like this; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MPPS-V13-02-Interface-Cable-OBDII-OBD2-VW-AUDI-BMW-Citroen-ECU-Flasher-/201620158317?hash=item2ef17f776d:g:zkgAAOSwRJ9XgQc0 I've used that exact tool on a mate's 20vt as it's all we had to hand at the time and he'd already used it

    12v VR6 turbo

    RBPE replied to raj_vr6's topic in Engine Tuning

    You need to guess rpm limits and VE and what have you, Garrett's tuning threads tell you how to do it. You also can't really guess on spool accurately without looking into what others run similar to you, efficiency of set up, ecu tune/cam timing, turbine housing etc can all make a big difference. You can guess but use Garrett's info. At a quick guess on these anything around 600hp crank or wheel even, would be looking at top end limits of top pump fuel, 98/99 RON here so a couple of bar maybe a bit more or less depending on efficiency, so go to the 60lbs/min y axis on the GTX35/40

    Me likey, is that purple though or just the light? Concave do make the wheels look nicer on any car.

    Both great sets of turbo's, main reasoning for most is usually the sheer length of the EFR's and the tight confines of the transverse bays. Direct from HPA usually for the manifold although I sometimes come across the odd HGP or Mallon one in the German classifieds if you keep an eye out - saves hundreds just check for cracks on pics although they tend to be honest in their descriptions - not got one at the mo tho. I've not had an email through, I'll check the spam filters but rule of thumb you'll pay less than they are on ebay and I'll get best price, can change from

    It's pushing the limit's of the 7670 a bit that, 8374 might be better, more efficient. The 2 I'm dealing with at the moment are both running GT40's so they can handle big turbo's! Cast mani, there's a few choices. People normally go for knock off SPA Turbo ones, I'm bias but I'd say an original one with T4 flange using the 0.92ar might be an idea. Failing that the HPA ones are probably the best, got the twin lambda bosses in too. CTS T4 ones look quite good too with their inconel. Few choices there. Personally, if you have a fabricator, have them weld up a twinscroll manifold coming

    It'll be there somewhere, it's the entire car, probably just in a different area ifyou go through the menu, for example; http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2003/drive_standart/405/hg_ug/906/subcategory/906000/part_id/3726195/lang/e http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2003/drive_standart/405/hg_ug/919/subcategory/919050/part_id/3708908/lang/e

    You could probably backtrack it if you get the Denso part number or try a company that sells them for the angle I suppose and check it against the stock ones? https://forum.miata.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-434013.html

    Check the engine code - BDE twinny for example; http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2003/drive_standart/405/hg_ug/109/subcategory/109090/part_id/3723592/lang/e AQP/AUE Single VVT to 2001, BDE twin VVT 2002 - check engine code for dates around there to see which or part differences; http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2001/drive_standart/203/hg_ug/109/subcategory/109045/part_id/3691323/lang/e

    You can sack the spacer off nowadays; http://www.fcp-engineering.com/h-beam-steel-connecting-rods/106-vw-vr6-r32-28-29-32-special-turbo-161mm.html Turbo, intercooler, recirc valve, injectors, possibly maf depending on how it is tuned, pipe-work, exhaust manifold, possibly inlet manifold depending on the exhaust manifold, downpipe, possibly wastegate dep on turbo. ARP hardware is always a good idea where possible, might be forgetting a few things but rough idea
