Good stuff, i'll have to pop round one day for a natter :grin:

The surrey RR is known to give low numbers compared to other dynos so I would get another one done, or perhaps 2 more and take the average. Every dyno place claims to be the most accurate mate, but they all use correction software to 'fudge' the crank power figure. So take the numbers with a pinch. Just use it as a guide only. I wish the UK would just use wheel hp like the yanks do! Just stumbled across this post (browsing VRT stuff ya'see) I recently had my mk2 VR6 on a Dyno Dynamics RR down nr Cheltenham @ Ajec racing (Same set up as Surrey RR) Previously in same spec @ Stealth put out 216bhp. Was 205 @ Ajec. So an 11hp discrepancy, not the end of the world but as Kev says above, the Dyno Dynamics dyno's do give lower figures than others. My other half has an Edition 30 mk5 GTI and on JKM's DD rollers was cock on 227hp (230ps) With Revo stage 1 278hp 310lb/ft (Revo claim 300hp) I've done the old 'maf g/s log and divide by 0.8' to roughly calculate hp on the mk5 and it came out 282 :grin: So tend to think the DD rollers can't be far off 'the truth' I know that Vince uses a different ambient temp correction on the turbo cars than NA as can remember running my old 16v years ago which suddenly had +10hp from nowhere! Once the correct ambient temp was added it was back to where it should be :lol:

Are you still doing these hoses Dave/Graham? :D

These things are awesome, had a pax lap with Sabine in the 'ring taxi when they used the V8 M5 in 2002 :cuckoo:

There's a check box on options page that says 'force dumb mode' - try that when you test the port. If using USB cable you may need to get a serial-usb driver and install into vag-com folder too.

Dave, are you going on track at Combe Autometrix day? Tempted to book up for the PM sessions.. :norty: No doubt it's quick @ 0.8 bar but when my friend Alex's stripped mk2 16vT (Stealth built) did a 12.97 with approx 360bhp on the Sunday, you've got to doubt the 13.1... :shrug:

I'll pop over for a natter one day guys :D

No data from the Schimmel 263s then? :wave:

Dave if you fancy a drive out to the sticks .... :wave:

Dave, I have a set of H&R green VR6 springs you're welcome to try once I get another set of coil overs (should be within the next few weeks)

Good to have a chat Sunday Dave, just a quick line to say I'm no longer dole scum :clap: Listers VW Evesham have a new tech :D

Sorted mine, the lambda sensor plug (loom side) had been replaced at some point and had a load of bad solders, fixed those and never had the code come back - fuel economy greatly improved, well as good as a VR6 can be, eh :clap:

Neal... 0BD II 2.8 DRC 268s Carbonio CAI eBay 6 branch mk4 HG Unorthodox racing alloy flywheel C2 UK NA software 216.9bhp @ 6189rpm (118mph in 4th gear) 192.2 lb/ft @ 5297rpm You tube vid of power run - Power graph Torque graph Summary details Sorry they are scanned, I used to have the Dynoplot software and always get the files from Vince back in the '16v' days.

Had a look at this at UD. Really nice car, credit to all those involved in the build. Good to have a chat with Graham and Dave too :grin:

My OBD II 2.8 did 216.9bhp and 192 lb/ft @ Stealth in the Summer with a C2 UK NA chip, and those cr@ppy Dougherty racing 268s :clap:

Same as mine on the VR - Used a TT fore-aft shift lever (5spd box still...)

Amen to that! :clap:

I did read on one site that it wasn't an R36 head. Be nice to read the full spec

It's amazing how it all fits in.

Hi, cheers - it's a model 78 I think ( it was 2002 when I bought it, so memory is a bit vague )

Awesome project :grin: Regarding the mk4 shifter swap, I got some bits from Paul (phatvr6) to do mine in my mk2 VR6. Basically you can use any mk4 shift lever, even a 6spd one with the cables, then you need the corresponding 5 spd 02J tower for the top of the gearbox to match the cables, as some have parallel pins and some have ball fittings. Only other thing you may have to do, is the tower support in the base of the gearbox ( 2 bolt fitting,has a vw logo on it) is sometimes a different diameter to match the tower you use and you have to change that also (I didn't need to) Well worth doing, as the regular 02A shift is generally vague and cr*p in my experience. :cuckoo: mk4 IV R32 lever/cables Shiny fore-aft lever is from a TT to reduce the throw. ps - sorry for thread hi-jack :gag:

Some of the VW cups guys past and present post on Club GTI - worth a post in the motorsport section? http://www.clubgti.com/forum/forumdispl ... rune=&f=28

I'm sure in the grand scheme of things with VR6 turbo conversions using bespoke parts.... replacing a rose joint or two periodically won't break the bank... Tapered hole was drilled out IIRC.
