G60 conversion problems!

[gibber 0]

Right then, I have just finished fitting my G60 engine out of my corrado into my mk4 golf cabrio, (for those that dont know the mk4 golf cabrio is baised on a mk3)

 

I have a few problems.

 

1) The rev counter at idle is at 4k, and the engine is at 900rpm. Wen you rev it the needle goes off the scale.

 

2) Wen the engine is warm the oil light and buzzer comes on, wen you rev it they both stop, it didnt do this before the engine conversion. could be the clocks!

 

3) it seems to be runnning very rich!

 

4) When you drive it it just bogs down when it comes onto boost.

 

Do I need to try and graft in the G60 clocks?

 

Anyone got a list of things for me to check?

 

The speedo and MFA also arnt working!

 

But on the lighter side, it starts up!

when you pull the bue temp sender off does it go into service mode ? have you connected the ecu earths etc , have you earthed the lambda ? souunds like a wiring issue to me anthony

Yeah piped it up with out the intercooler for the time being,

You want to see the looks I got driving around the streets with no front bumper, grill head lights haha!

 

Yeah blue temp off it drops the revs to about 600 rpm.

 

Tried running an extra earth from the battery to the lambda but had no effect.

Dont the G60 clocks have a blue connector attached to the rear of them which is the Vacumn pipe of sorts!

I was thinking the vac pipe on the G60 was just for the MFA? the golf clocks dont have this vac pipe!

 

When I say the MFA dont work, it doesnt go off the clock.

Plugged the g60 clocks in and the oil light and rev counter work fine!

 

I dont believe no one can offer me any help as to why it bogs down under boost!

Its still running a bit rich tho! Any ideas? Does it need a propper set up?

 

Currently an AMD chip, 70mm pulley, stage 4 charger with an RSR, jetex exhaust with decat.

 

Hey they realy dont run too well without an intercooler tho.

Twin inlets and open boost return make for one strange sounding mk4
