CorradoVR6-Turbo

the main differance is pressure drop,you will need to full more volume of air on a intercooler and pipework unlike the small amount the chargecooler will take . Turbo's are easy to compensate for pressure drop,quick turn of bleed valve and its fixed,superchargers require smaller pullys to compensate,this is what happend with my old VF1 supercharger. By using a short runner manifold like SP's one,the throttle body is on the passanger side....your rotrex is on the drivers side....meaning pipework of from the throttle to PWR chargecooler over the exhaust manifolds but very well insulated(either way over the exhaust is not the best idea!) then to the SC. Or stock manifold and somehow sqeeze the PWR chargercooler between the throttle body and SC...it will be tight but you will have zero pressure drop and very good throttle response. :D So imop. Supercharger with chargecooler Turbo with Intercooler.

As always Shaun loving the car but HATE the pre rad sticking out the bumper like that! i know it needs air flow but can it not go higher behind the grill?

as in chargecooler mate,it will work well with the rotrex.

Sounds good,but top quality comes with a top price! :wink:

I love the air to air,hassel free,lighter and cools far better than the water to air cooler i had but with your rotrex i would stay water to air, as the supercharger does not generate the heat a turbo does.

yea some sort of cooling would help allot,what boost are you running?,have you tried to vent the recerc valve to atmosphere instead of back in the intake?

rotrex and other superchargers develop boost or very little of boost when on/ idle part load when there is no use for boost, it gets vented to prevent pressure build up so this is normal,only on 3/4 to full throtle does the reserc valve shut and full boost is allowed.

about 18.8 mpg playing around. 22.73 mpg if im a good boy :nuts:

:lol: ive seen it all now!

they will have some form of lubrication beteeen the dust and oil seal but not on the shaft exsposed covered by the rack boot....its pointless. the grease supplied is to lubricate the seal once fitted.

Ive been in the trade for many years and have never seen grease on the rack let alone CV grease!

thats new to me! its supposed to be dry and dirt free with the boot intact. There will be no harm in adding some oil or fine grease but as soon as you go for full lock it will be pushed to the end of the rack with the dust and oil seal?! :scratch:

i can get 312mm with wilwood 6 pots under a 16" wheels.

I would love a full on weld in cage but if that happend then it would just become a track car full time,no point wasting a cage for the road. :wink:

Why? i cant afford the full weld in type....plus the rear end will be stripped out.

Get the liquid filled ones...they hold up just fine to vibration :)

I dont bother keeping an eye out on how much ive spent,if i want it or the car needs repair it gets it...end of! :tongue:

Probably! what did he have 4/4, +4, +8 ? Saying that i would not remember :lol:

try running a vr turbo with the heat they give off!!! and its noisey...fuel pump wines away and bla bla ......just so dame hot! glad ive got cloth seats :lol:

Fitted my roll cage today....swine to fit! but looks the part,will look even better with stripped out rear,bucket seat etc 8)

If its just a gauge then yes mate. :)

But it will adjust the overall mixture? what was the readings on idle?

Nothing wrong with that question at all mate,ive run an under bonnet gauge for some tome as do MANY others so there is no saftey issues at all. The gauge should be between the pump and rail and for N/A Vr's 3 bar at idle and with throttle should see 3,5 bar. Fitting it to the return line will see no pressure....but i dontknow what set up you have. Are you still running stock VR rail and reg?

11?! thats very rich mate,not suprised it failed,3.5 is the limit on fast idle and tickover for your year....no cat or lambda will fix that high co! The exhaust blowing will knock out the lambda readings but it will remain rich and as its failed on Co then the lambda will be fine so your exhaust leak is not affecting the test have you tried to adjust the co?

i read more than 40deg often! so cant say what yours will be mate. What gauge,sensor will you be using?
