Aye :D You wanna see the golf they run too, just the gearbox alone sounds like an awesome bit of kit!

Myne kiks typeR a$$ yo innit. 8)

Check that the idle screw is still in the back of the throttle body too, although most of the time the idle will rise if it goes missing. Neil.

Haha :lol: Aye, may be worth a shot that! They do run a golf too! I wonder what they are like with the ol' G60's :lol: Ive suggested the sticker should be yellow too, it was a last minute thing before the last race at snetterton 8) Neil.

Damn...Looks like you have caught that in time mate :) Id clean it back to bare metal, stick a little hammerite rust eater on for good measure then etch prime/paint/stone chip...or sommet similar to that. Neil.

Does anybody follow the brit car championship? With the ferrari's/Corvette's/Lambo's etc? I now supply/sponsor one of the race teams, who also run the black lexus you may have seen in the british touring car championship :D Top of the headlight on the black bit...You can just make out the web address. And of course, thats my lil old product on the lights. For anyone interested, they are competing in the 24hr race at silverstone over the 21st/22nd of september. Neil.

Id go for grooved discs over cross drilled... Says he who bought some cross drilled zimmermans :lol: But cheaply and for a valver that won't get a lot of abuse! Neil.

The top one sits behind the center console on the rado's...its just a connector for the plugs that go in there. The bottom one sits under gear lever surround as said above. Neil. :)

The stock 200kpa map sensor reads up to around 15psi :) The rallye one (only some) have the 250kpa map sensor which reads up to 1.5bar. Neil.

Aye, i believe it should hold it for 10 minutes... Injectors/seals etc have all been changed, and there are no fuel leaks anywhere... :? Neil.

Mine dosn't have an accumaltor mate...its the late set up with just the one pump in the tank > fuel filter > injector rail. Neil.

Yeah, just by a local garage...who didn't really know what he was doing...He asked me where to check it! It had bang on 3bar at the fuel rail, iirc it did drop off quickly when the engine was stopped...Only the fpr would cause it to drop wouldn't it? But ive had about 4 different ones on it (all 3bar) Neil.

Well im now running a red top chip, albeit for 300cc injectors instead of the 350cc injectors that im running. It hasn't changed the chracteristics of the problem at all... :( Definately revs higher though! :shock: I gave it some stick on the motorway, and id normally change up just before it bleeds off boost...But it kept going :? Normally change up at around 5800/6000 and this shows on my rr graph as where the power peeks...But it winds up to around 6500rpm now and its still going... Anyway, nowt to do with the problem... Ive rechecked the ignition timing, and its absolutely bang on 6deg btdc. Is it worth trying to go for 8deg? and see if it revs more responsively/stops the popping? Pics for views,just like on vortex...never understood it meself :lol: Neil.

Im sure ive read somewhere that it should be positioned beyond/in front of the front wheels? Neil.

From quite a while ago, when the car looked very different... Neil.

Aye, the number plate is "Cool" 8) :lol: Neil.

Im crap with photoshop, but quite happy with these :D Neil.

Sound...Id like to think all the pipework/cossie intercooler etc is leak free. 8) Re:The lambda, ive done all the wiring checks on it, ive even taken it well out of the equasion by chopping the signal wire right up at the ecu.The lambda earth/heating/signal are all perfect as far as resistances/earthing/signal voltage. Ive got so many print outs/wiring diagrams/notes that you wouldn't believe it...Ive half written a new bentley manual here :lol: Neil.

.7bar/10psi i think? Tbh the timing is advancing, but i don't think its quick enough to respond somehow...maybe...maybe not. :scratch: Ill stay with the over fuelling for now i think, everything leccy wise has been replaced/tested.Isv/dizzy/ecu's/chips/sensors/senders/lambda/coil/c-o pot/injector loom etc absolutely everything except the knock sensor. Neil.

Aye...Ya not wrong mate :cry: Personally i think its over fueling on part throttle or ignition not advancing for some reason. Why? Well (before the red tops) without the wot switch taped up, it pops out of the TAILPIPE when gearing down, and throws the odd flame on gear change. When the WOT switch is taped up, it dosn't do that and runs like a different car. So there has to be unburnt fuel in the exhaust when the WOT switch etc is operating normally. Does this sound plausable? Over fuelling on part throttle? I really don't know what to do next, but i think its sensible to replace the system and then either have a live mapping/rolling road/wideband to at least try and see if it is running rich/lean/when/where/how! WHY! :bad-words: Neil. :lol:

Id love to go for the big valve jobby http://www.cncheads.co.uk/vw_g60_8v_bv.html But its a lot o cash! Very, very nice though... Neil.

How is it wasting money mate? :? It NEEDS a system, its rotten around both boxes at either side and not really getting any better. And for the lambda to operate 110% perfectly in an ideal world it has to be leak free. Wasting money would be to travel and have it mapped/looked at with a blowing exhaust, and then get the exhaust sorted...Im not in Ireland here mate :scratch: :lol: Neil.

Nah, not that i know of mate...but he does specifically do remapping now, and he has never contradicted himself or anything when speaking about the problem with the corrado. I just like the way he works with his live mapping etc, from what ive read anyway... Neil. :)

I think im going to go with the idea of, sort the exhaust just so i know its 'as it should be' and then look into the red tops/mapping. Time to start saving... Can anyone confirm that the red tops i have will be of use for mapping? 12ohms/350cc @ 3bar. Neil.

Aye...sorry for the confusion, the actual system is blowing around the 2 boxes, and its only started after the problem appeared. My mates mk2 g60 had a snapped manifold stud and was blowing like crazy, he has never run a lambda but the car still ran perfectly fine.If i unplug my lambda the problem is still there too. Im about a million miles away though mate :( Fuel cost would be immense, and Darren has suggested lots of things it may be, but we haven't found the problem yet,ive even had him on the phone in the past while ive been going through leccy checks etc. And ive checked everything that anyone else would anyway apart from the fueling via wideband. I can't really see how the fueling would change after simply parking the car up all that time ago either...weird :? Ive read a lot of Steve's posts, from pitstop and he seems extremely knowledgable. Neil.
