  1. You should call in and see me and H8RRA on the way back mate Chris
  2. This is just so great, what a bunch of nice lads! Feeling better all the time, Cheers. Chris

    Kev, calm down mate, i was suggesting that someone should go for it instead of buying off the shelf minimal performance things and if they had the time and space to do a project car it would be great to follow the project, would it not? I'm sorry you have this much myrth and feel you need to sputter it out at me like this but we are speaking about nothing of the same here, lets try and at least sing from the same hymn sheet Kev please? The 15:1 thing is doable and no it wouldn't be great as a road car but the illustration waasn't purely for that, it was an extreme statement to push ideas forward. Cost wise there doesn't have to be a fortune spent at all. As far as OBDII goes i have obviously driven Golf VR6's as a few mates have them in various guises. I would like nothing better than to get into a DTA P8 and have a play and further my knowledge in this area as i'm sure you would be interested too! The P8 has lots of great features and is way ahead of the old design that is the Golf ECU with OBDII and with an accurate UEGO sensor you can competently map the car yourself as long as you have the ability which isn't hard so most could do it if the aptitude was there. I'm disappointed with your post mind Kev, thought more of your than to go on a slag off like that on open forum mate :sad: Chris
  4. Adenosine slows tachycardias associated with the AV node via modulation of the autonomic nervous system without causing negative inotropic effects. It acts directly on sinus pacemaker cells and vagal nerve terminals to decrease chronotropic and dromotropic activity. Adenosine is the drug of choice for paroxysmal supraventricular tachvcardia (PSVT) which is what i had. Atrial flutter, Atrial fibrillation, and Ventricular tachycardia. Adenocard will cause a 6-10 arrest, this is expected. (this is the bit where you are dead) Great drug but not one that they wanted to give me straight off although from the first phone call when i told them i was in SVT with a tachycardia of 200 i asked them to bring a defib machine and 6mg of adenosine co i know that's the only thing that would end up working. But they wanted to leave that drug til last because it's so agressive, they got me to blow into a big syringe, this compressed the diafram and changes the way the oxygen is offered to the heard and this can sometimes slow the BPM down but i'd tried this at home then it was the vagal stimulation manoeuvre whick again is an attempt to slow the heart from the 220bpm it was at at the time. The worst thing is when you go to the doctors for an injection and they tell you to expect a small scratch and jesus it hurts as they fish around trying to get some of your life juice out? With Adenocine the explanation from the consultant was that it will feel like a large man kneeling on your chest when the drug hits the heart and it is going to really hurt! Then you know you are in for it big time, and it is horrible. After that your blud is moving around very slowly and has even stopped for a while so you go very cold and shivvery and the first time i had it my eyesight faded to just the middle, it was very scarey. Then you can pretty much go home! Apart from this time they gave me other treatments to thin the blood and do a 24 hour ECG and i felt like a pin cusion with black & blie parts in my arm and hands, but i'm feeling pretty good now, just aching in my chest from the high heart rate for so long, all is well. Chris
  5. Hey, it makes you think don't it! Bristol Baron, that pic made me laugh, it was better than tomato soup, not that tomato soup makes me laugh so much but it generally makes me feel better, cheers! Yes it was a year and a bit ago, last February i think when this happened to me the same, i driving my Skyline down to a show at York region, CMR if you know it, and it all went wrong, Chris Hill had to chase the ambulance in the Skyline, lol what a night out, sorry Chris! Chris
  6. LOL thanks for the comments/wishes, makes a difference! and no Paul i wasn't joking like you thought i was but the situation must have sounded very strange from your end when it happened! Still not right and still having the odd ectopic heart flutter but i'm still here which is what counts :-) I was told be the cardiologist to be careful not ot cut myself as the stuff they have injected into me makes it hard to stop the bleeding and will "cause a blood bath" in his own words! :shock: The pic came out canny mind! Chris
  7. Hi, i'm still around even though only just, had an issue with my heart in mid conversation with Phat VR6, kind a long set of events from yesturday evening, through the night and all day today, I'm home now and will post some info later cos i'm too tired and aching. Chris
  8. My Silver VR is plainly visible at my old house, spotted it ages ago, never thought it would be a thread! :lol: Chris
  9. If you get stuck, try using some string and wrapping it around where it normally goes then measuring it, you should find it to be around 1360mm Chris
  10. Isn't that what you would normally call a service? :roll: If you read PVW and Golf etc you will findplenty of 16v's doing 15-17 second quarters! Don't worry about it unless it's a vr and they don't do much different to that anyway. Oh did you say o-60? :lol: :twisted: :wink: Chris
  11. Good question, i think the best answer would be to say that you are trying to limit what the losses are. Chris

    I can't comment on the power difference but it's oddly put, the carb situation is different as there are two reasons for the mica spacer, firstly for gaskets and secondly to reduce the heat transfer to the carb body as things like jet sizes may change and they use a fuel reservoir with a float in it and this will heat up and cause further fuek evapouration though prob minimal, the injection engines don't have jets but injectors which are externally controlled by an ECU. Anything that cuts heat down is a bonus but by how much you will benefit, that's the question. Onw point worth making is that these things claim things like 20% power increase, i think you should realise that this is misleading, doing a power run on a car that has warmed to 50-70C will give a figure of say 200bhp then umpteen runs later the car will only produce 160bhp, this could be termed as a 20% power increase if in the same situation the heat reducing item makes the engine maintain it's 200bhp figure, it's more of a loss reduction endevour rather than a power increase thing! Chris
  13. Triple side electrode, lol 3 headed! sounds like a serpant Chris
  14. The reason for this is that due to variations in the cam timing such as chains and tensioners with wear and the cam or sprocket keyways not being machined perfectly but within tollerance. These variations can put the cam timing out sufficiantly to alter power and torque results but can be corrected by resetting the timing to where it should be regardless of the presence of wear in the componants. Chris
  15. Yeah the verniers gears are all fine and well but you need to be very critical and know what you are doing. A Dial test indicator is essential and a 360degree protractor and off you go Chris
  16. I had to ask to be invited! what's tat all about? Chris
  17. All seems well, the link to one of the feature articles isn't working mind but other than that! What software you using? I use DW8 and smart FTP to up it. Chris
  18. Batmobile! I would like to see these types of things on the road, and why not, it's avantguard and for good reason. Here's an interesting one Chris
  19. Dude you need somebling wheels, pimp! My ET is 35 and they can touch the arches under extreme playing! Chris

    The spacer might do something slightly however, the idea is that your engine's protection is reduced, personally i'd leave the sensor alone, they aren't as responsive on the OBDI anyway so just a bit of a gimmik for the Corrado really. Forget a lot of what you read about smoothness and what people say, people ware posting about my VR loosing torque and power and idling lumpy and stalling when i was fitting a 6lb flywheel but NONE of it's true at all! You wouldn't know it has a rediculously light flywheel fitted apart that it revs so fast. The VR has 6 cylinders to push it round one circle so go mad a bit, it'll all be just fine. Mapping has to be part of the budget as it's as much or more important than the mods done! A good custom map will get the engine producing the power it should and give you goose bumps and often yeild better mpg when driven normally, though a poor map ie. and off the shelf map can often have less than impressive results and in some cases i've experienced have caused engine failure, i site the Z-engineering maps engine failure which is well known. Go to stealth but make sure that you have all the thought done right and the engine is in it's final state before the trip to see Vincent! Chris

    Some cam profiles dictate using a C/R of 15-17:1 and that's going for it. Now i don'r want anyone to pipe up slavering on about detonation blar-blar-blar because it won't. Remember the Dynamic and Static C/R's? well there you have your answer. If the valves are open for a long time then the compression has to be part of the equation and raised accordingly, i don't believe there are a great many people that could consumatelly construct a race engine with these perameters and get it to perform as predicted, but i had a good teacher, David (Wizard)Visard. Chris
  22. Now i know that there are a number of impressively powered G60's around but what power are you at with yours ben16v? Chris
  23. Fool, but i've done the same. :lol: Chris
