Hey Pete, am I the one that showed you that site?

Darn Scirocco fuel tank was actually crazy rusted.

POR-15 Fuel tank kit worked wonders on it though and it's sitting drying for the sealer right now. Those chemicals they provide are spectacular. Just wish the cure time for the sealer wasn't 4 days.

Just be glad POR-15 exists!

Me and a couple buddys were thinking about making a trip down for y'alls wednesday night meet. Just making sure its still going on before we drive down.

**GTIVWMK2** · 10-10-2012 08:55 PM

it still exists!

**gsusmaniac** · 10-10-2012 11:18 PM

Alright... a bit of an emergency. Found out tonight that my motor and harness is all OBD1 and my ECU is OBD2.

So anyone have an OBD1 ECU that I could borrow for a week or so? I am working on getting a chipped ECU from someone. But it wont be here for this weekend.

I need to start this stinking car tomorrow or it isn't going to St Augustine this weekend!

Damn, that sucks!! wish I knew someone with an ECU

I hope you can find one, it would be great to see you at the show

**gsusmaniac** · 10-11-2012 10:19 AM

Stopped at Mr Scraps this morning, they just got in a 95 Jetta! Going back this afternoon to pull the ECU and harness!

**R32peterb** · 10-11-2012 08:48 PM

WELL!!!! did it start?!??!!?!?!

**R32peterb** · 10-13-2012 07:20 PM

^^ it started and idled, but died when throttle was applied. the car did not make it to the show, he drove his mkIV.
the ride home was fun and can't wait to see the rolling shots

**gsusmaniac** · 10-13-2012 09:58 PM

Yeah, it was a no go. Maybe you can answer this... Will an obd2 MAF work on an OBD1 motor?

And Pete, pics tomorrow! I need sleep! Haha

**GTIVWMK2** · 10-13-2012 11:20 PM

No. they are different as far as I know. You can actually run the car with out a maf. it will run and rev but it puts the obd1 into limp mode at a certain rev I think. not 100%. like it will go to 4 or 5k rpm then stop. If I'm correct. I for certain that the mafs are different.

**GTIVWMK2** · 10-13-2012 11:20 PM

Does it spit and sputter or jsut straight dies?

**gsusmaniac** · 10-14-2012 07:10 AM

I will take a video today... I was told last night that I need an o2 sensor. Completely forgot that this exhaust didnt have an o2 bung in it!

**GTIVWMK2** · 10-14-2012 08:29 AM

Don't need one of those to make it run either. Not on OBD1. If you want good gas mileage you need it. but it will run with out one. I have video of one running with out one.

**gsusmaniac** · 10-14-2012 12:54 PM

Pics from the GTG are up... enjoy

On a Vr they are actually interchangeable (perhaps does not hold true for this application). Yes, physically different but functionally the same.

**GTIVWMK2** · 10-15-2012 07:27 AM

Ahh. see now I was told they were very different not just the way the mounted or casted.

**V-dubbulyuh** · 10-15-2012 09:09 AM

I use them interchangebly on Vrs all the time... especially since you can get the OBD1 used for much less. Footprint of the holes lines up perfectly. The main difference is the element itself, guess they made the OBD2 a little more durable. Might not apply to 8v though.

**gsusmaniac** · 10-15-2012 09:13 AM

Well there's an OBD1 at the junk yard so I will pull the MAF out of that and clean it. I also need to figure out why my injectors continue firing after the engine dies.

An I will get the video today. It idles smooth and revs smooth. But in order to get it to rev up, I have to cover the intake and control the amount of air going in manually.

**R32peterb** · 10-15-2012 10:51 AM

would anyone be interested in going to this

^^ the man is correct

**gsusmaniac** · 10-15-2012 08:25 PM

Ok, here is the video. And her is the order of things I show in it.

First I kill the motor just by opening the throttle.
Then you can hear the injectors continue to fire till the key is shut off.
Then I rev the motor by covering the intake and controlling the airflow.
Then I rev the motor by pumping the the throttle up a little at a time.

So tell me what you think. And what that whistle might be, I can't track it down for nothing. It sounds like it is coming from the upper manifold somewhere.
