KADVR6 0 Posted November 8, 2008 well to say i'm happy after today is an understatment :D i could not be happer even if keira knightly walked up to me dropped to her knees and took me in her mouth :D today Kev,Dave and Graham popped down to my car to give it a look over to see what the problem was?? Kev turned up at 8.15 this morning :shock: bloody nutter :lol: due to he's alarm on he's phone going off an hour earlier than he thought because he had forgot to change the time on it. Dave and graham turned up at about 10ish. so after coffees and fags they all started to have a nose around the wiring, they then discovered the wiring to the TPS was for some reason different to all other vr's?? i can get technical as i dont have a clue about wiring :( but after some soldering, scratching heads my car is now a working corrado r32 :D it neads a proper re-map doing though so i will be taking it for re-mapping very very very soon, i'm hoping that by the end of next week it will MOT'd taxed and insured. i cannot put into words how gratefull i am to you guys, if there is ANYTHING i can do for you JUST ASK, i will do it. cheers guys karl :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nemesis360 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Your welcome mate just glad I could help, I know how disheartening projects can be sometimes but Itll be worth it in the end. Thanks for the coffee and that sarnie was great :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 8, 2008 You should hear this thing :shock: A cross between a Ducati 996 and a Nascar engine! Not normally a fan of the 24V engine note as it sounds too thin and raspy in standard R32s, but Karl's sounds TOTALLY different. Partly down to the 6 branch (which is a work of art!) and a £500 air filter I suspect :lol: Glad you're happy mate. Looking forward to seeing it all completed and mapped up! Let me know when it's booked into Stealth and I'll come and help you and Vince with it, and watch him doing his mapping magic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Nice, and there's me thinking that Kev's just been copy/pasting from Google for all these years :grin: - Glad its running and awesome to see a bit of good nature and people willing to give their weekends up to help another :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yeti 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Dude i'm very impressed you have it running! i need to speak to you about how to get the cable operated throttle to work with the r32 but thats not gonna be for a while! Your special 6 branch, is that similar to the one storm sell now or will your mate do a better one?... hoping to have mine at your stage by early spring so its gonna be a busy winter!... o and as i work near birmingham now... can i come for a ride please? :D ?

dukest 0 Posted November 9, 2008 great to hear Karl :) wasn't up early enough yesterday to make it but hoped you were doing well when i saw this outside stealth yesterday, their first mk5 r32 and apparently the wiring on this was a marathon too! 08112008761.jpg[/attachment:3jcjlhim] it sounded very tasty as the owner got taken out for his first drive - get some video of yours up :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be interested in the final power figures. The Stealth conversion was 273bhp on standard management. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted November 9, 2008 i should see more than that i think?? due to the standalone's greater tuning capabillites. but to be perfectly honest anything around 280bhp in N/A form is alot quicker than the 295bhp i had when it was charged, the r32 just has sooo much more low down torque than the 12v 8) are you not gonna take your old engine out and get the r32 ready yourself Ben, or you leaving it to stealth to do the lot?? i have nooo problem coming over and offering you some assistance if you wanna do the actual install yourself.
