G60 silly question. 315cc injectors with standard chip?
STU175 replied to bristolbaron's topic in Engine Bay
higher flow rate injectors would make it over fuel and run rich. i wouldnt risk it. -

never had cruise control. i never took the dash out in the end just lower panels gave enough access. i just didnt want to have even more of it apart at that stage

The wiring for lighting and power is routed through chassis leg the rest just rerouted. I wanted to do as much as I could without cutting and lengthening the original loom. The only wiring I had to lengthen was coil and expansion tank and I remade the starter and alternator power cables and earth's also STU175

yeah i had the same with the manifold i had a mate assist pushing it together so not to damage the threads on the studs. i have wrapped the boot in heatproof tape and made a heat shield to go between aswell the heat wrap i put on was useless i have now removed it. as soon as it got hot it smoked alot and didnt seem to be getting any better!? it should have been all right i dont know why it did that its wasnt the most expensive wrap i used tho....
-
thats the way id go in hindsight :bonk: the gwerks manifold runs really close to the steering gator it melted my first one! i installed a heat shield that seems to have solved that problem but am keeping a close eye on it.
-
LOL we've both got great taste obviously! yeah if all goes to plan i hope to making a few more shows this year. ive got to clock up some miles to get it run in

its been off the road for a few years. i believe we spoke briefly at an alive and dubbin show quite a few years ago. my car was in the show and shine so you would of seen it.

ill be coming not far for me. im hoping to have mine all road legal again by then
-
looks a neat idea may have been interested 6 months ago i went with a wagner replica golf g60 setup. looks like it would need a bit of tweeking to fit a corrado. the intercooler outlet could possibly foul on the larger corrado headlights and would have to hack off the towing eye by the looks of it. would be nice to build in a bracket for front mount oil cooler if i was having one made

sure ive seen some on vw heritage
