Yes, another VR6-T

[Norwegian-VR6]

1. Its new.
2.Its been hanging around since 2010, so in alot of places. But it was ok with lube. No dirt
3. I can push the piston a little bit with my finger. But not all the way. Maybe 40%
4. I can hear a tiny "swish" if I get off the pedal when boosting is just began....
5. 63# ProMaf is spot on AFR @ 15 psi. 11.8 - 12.2 full boost.



DieGTI: No surge.

[Norwegian-VR6]

A friend came on visit with a Turbonetics mbc. Adjusted boost to 25 psi and the car runs very well. Just finished a 310mile long drive to a friend Tor_m. He is bulding the mk2 Rallye 24v 6766 4Motion. Tommorow its 310 miles home again. Pics will come later. Tired, good night

[AJmustDIE]

I'm watching his thread as well!

[Norwegian-VR6]

See if I can get the Golf on a Rototest dyno soon. Car is running amazing. Only 15 psi daily. Works great. Offcourse, poly bushings in the wishbone is gone. After 25-28 psi for a week, it did happend.
So new Powerflex "r32" Race bushings is ordered.

New family/girlfriend car ordered on friday.
2012 Skoda Superb avant. 2.0TDI 140bhp with a 02M/02Q 6 speed manual.
The backseat space is huge and the ride comfort is amazing. Norway and Denmark has new car prices you wont belive. But belive me, when I say this car was 66000,- USD Wonder what European car I could have got if I lived in the states or Canada

[v.i.massive]

this is some real good work

[wabbitGTl]

Should've gotten the Yeti!

$66k USD would have gotten you 2 Passat TDIs, or a very low mileage E92 M3

Love this thread, love the car. Keep up the excellent work!

[Norwegian-VR6]

Boost gauge is reading Bar, not PSI

[Capt.Dreadz]

Daaamn...$66k? You could've gotten a fully loaded 2012 Audi S-line Q7 w/ 3.0L TDI & premium 2 pkge and enough left over for a base model 2012 Mercedes GLK350.

BTW, i wish my boost would romp up that quick.

[Norwegian-VR6]

Q7 i bet is a nice family car, but it doesnt look good. Rather have the GLK or a ML
Q7 S-Line 3.0 TDI is 190.000 usd...............
But anyways, full tank of diesel on the Skoda is 157 dollars as well. So its not cheap to be so stupid that you love cars in this country

Skoda Superb have 02M/02Q 6speed gearbox. And at 60mph it does 1600rpm in 6th gear
Imagen that on a 20+ psi VRT

[wabbitGTl]

with fuel prices and automobiles so expensive why is it that norway has so many wild and crazy cars? lots of dedicated gearheads i guess?

[Capt.Dreadz]

There's something in this thread thats preventing me to replay. Everytime i hit the button, a warning pops up telling me that theres something here that will affect my computer. I'm forced to use the "quick reply". whatever it is, its on the last page.

Q7 TDI w/ Prestige pkg is $64k. Site pricing is always marked up. I manage to track a blue one down (Plan on buying one for my wife to replace her Allroad) for $51k out the door. If i go in there with $45k in cash..they'll take it.

I just looked at the Superb Avant Elegance (2nd highest model) from the UK w/ a 6 spd 2.0 TDI and it comes out to be $40kusd ($25 GBP). They're even running a special "No VAT". I think the reason why its so high in Norway is probably due to it being an import.

[Norwegian-VR6]

Nice update, especially liking the motor mount setup and the fuel pump. On your oil relocation kit why don't you replace the black flex line (between the 42 DD block and oil filter housing) with a braided ss line? That hose especially when curved like you have there and exposed to heat likes to shed its skin and develop leaks. It is a PITA to change it when you have the front end back on and can save you some headache. Just a suggestion because it has happened to me a few times. If you need some help with getting a custom length for that line in ss let me know (so you can retain your current routing).

[v-g]

I think the reason why its so high in Norway is probably due to it being an import.

Every car in Norway is an import. (Except some small electric sh*t)
The prices are high because the government needs their money and add approx (and even more) 100 % of the car's price in TAX. So, yup, that is the price of the car PLUS the price of the car, again. And, for good measure, they've even some more to add on top of that.

[Norwegian-VR6]

I was driving along to work in 6th gear. Wideband was pending from 10-12AFR......
I tought, well here we go again with boost leaks
3 minutes I drove like this, when the gasoline smell came. Stopped the car and gasoline was floating all over One injector had gone out of the fuelrail, and was spraying the engine bay. I have a heat blanket and a fire extinguisher in the car. Just to be safer. Closed the hood, and waited for the tow truck to pick me up. 355USD to get the car home Insurance only bring the car to the nearest workshop. I wanted the car home asap.



Hope these will last longer than the regular Powerflex control arm/wishbone bushing.




Just a old Golf......

[wabbitGTl]

sorry to hear of your bad luck, $350+ for a tow is pretty ridiculous. how far did they take it? all things considered it could have been much worse. i assume the burnout was on the test drive after?

[Norwegian-VR6]

I took a day off at work and got some parts fitted. New oil pump, mounted the Powerflex buschings and got a new set of tires. Federal RSR semi slics. Same sort off wheel that Toyo R888s....
Result? Tight and presise handling. Better steering wheel feeling and the grip is very good.
Running only 20 psi, but it rips pretty good on the road and in the streets
ProMaf software setup runs very good. Super happy.
The 1.06 T3 housing on the GT35R is a perfect match for the 12V.
Its useable and really playfull.
Been driving 12000 kilometers this summer. Zero issues.

Im not a big fan of show off people and big talkers. I hate that.
But I need to say.... When the boost is between 20-30 psi, this little black golf is a monster in the streets.






Some cheap chinese tires. Tyre pressure was perfect, but it had 3 holes in it, like you see in this picture





Fedreal RSR 215/40 - 17" semi slics...





Winter is here, and there is nothing much else to do, than putting the car in the garage. Ready for 2013

[Norwegian-VR6]

this is some real good work

I have forgot to say thank you.
So, thank you

[Norwegian-VR6]

Still reading and wondering about a water/meth kit. Just regular washer fluid you can use with it?
See that USRT recomends a duel nossle setup, and other setups use singel..
Im thinking about water/meth, when the boost is over 1 bar/15psi.. Sometimes im hitting 28-29psi and I can only see good things if w/m is added to my setup. It was a set of Schrick 268s coming my way a couple of months ago from a Vortex user, but I guess he sold them to a local or something.
DRC268 or Techtonics 276s is really tempting.. Head is complitly stock right now, and i guess im happy with the cars performance like it is right now. But there is always a BUT

Would be cool to see some W/M setup pics or link to some mounting threads for Water/Methanol
AND a tip on where to put the nozzle on my setup. Right after the 45degree silicone @ TB ?

[V-dubbulyuh]

W/M = the truth.
You will see improvements in IAT & potential for more boost.
Cheap insurance for you motor.
Yes regular washer fluid (research the meth content of whichever one you select).
Mine starts around 6 psi and maxes out by 25 psi.
Dual nozzle if you can spare the cash.
Installed mine prior to the silicone elbow for the throttle body (perhaps ~ 8").

[Norwegian-VR6]

Only good things, and it can't go wrong, since my turbo maxes out at 30psi and I can run that on pump gas without any damage IF the w/m runs out of fluid.
I asume a dual nozzle kit that has some sort of warning for fluid level is what I want. You get what you pay for with these kits I asume. Don't want any fancy-pancy stuff, just something realiable that does the job. 400+ usd for a kit i asume anyways.

[Tor_m]

You have been wondering to long about these water/meth kits Kristian, I think you should just buy a kit, and try now! Maybe other people in Norway will try to!! But dyno the car without water/meth, and then with water/meth

[Norwegian-VR6]

Lol
You are right Tor. Safer for the engine and a cheap insurance.

Dual nozzle = two nozzels next to eachother? Prior to the silicone elbow of the TB ? Right?

So a kit looking a little like this then ?
Controlled by boost sounds easy for me. I want it simple.

COOLINGMIST Universal CMGS autolearn (Boost/VAC/MAF)
Universal 1.5 Gallon Trunkmount Tank $80.00
Universal CMGS autolearn (Boost/VAC/MAF) 600+

Single Pump Dual Stage + $99
Red display silver bezel

TOTAL - - - $838.95
Weight 12 Pounds


Or something else ? Like Snow performance or the others... Im a w/m newb and have never seen a kit installed in my life OR directely spoken to someone.

[AlexiGTIVR6]

I just use my windshield washer bottle for my water/meth mix. I mounted my pump to the frame rial just underneath it. Just a few inches of line from the bottle to the pump then a couple feet to the nozzle. My nozzle is roughly 6 inches before the TB.

Ive done a few trunk mounted tanks and pumps but i just wanted a hidden / clean set up in my car.

My AEM WM controller is mounted to the bottom of my fuse box. Easy access to make adjustments when needed. You cant see any parts of the system from in the car or under the hood.

[Norwegian-VR6]

Clean and nice Alexi. Always liked your car since you first started the build thread.
Felt the diffrence with w/m installed yeah?

[VWallin]

So I'm guessing with you opting for a water/meth kit that e85 is not as common in Norway as in Sweden? And i was thinking of starting to work in Norway...that won't happen if i cant drive my
vr6t

[AlexiGTIVR6]

Clean and nice Alexi. Always liked your car since you first started the build thread.

I deff felt the difference. Not huge but the engine felt smoother. On my old set up (3076 turbo) i was having my timing pulled randomly shifting hard into 3rd gear at the track. Never had the problem on the street though. I originally got the WM because of that. I did gain a couple mph at the track with it so i was happy

I havent done any logging with it since i change to the 6262 . I also just install a UM promaf set up so i cant wait to see how it runs now with it

Oslo have 4-5 Statoil stations with E85 pumps. 20 stations in the country. Not like Sweden Wallin. Cool mk2 you have by the way.

Cant wait to read all about your 6262 w/m ProMaf setup! My ProMaf setup is from 2009, so I guess Jeff or Matt at UM has tweaked it to be even better.

[VWallin]

Thanks Like your car too and have been following the build for quite some time
Bummer we have e85 at almost every gas station in the country.
Are you planning on visiting Bugrun this year? Would be fun talk and drink some (10) beer!

[Norwegian-VR6]

Sweden have E85 at almost every station and a new car is 50% cheaper than in Norway. Some cars are 60-70% cheaper.
Anyway, Bugrun 2013 should be done. I drove 10000km in 2012, so why not a trip to a VW meeting that had over 1500 cars last year And its all Volkswagen. hehe. We usually drive down on Thursday. Its a 8 hour drive from home.
Always beer and grill Mr.Wallin . By the way, i can mix in E85 in my fuel. Right now the tank has 25l 98okt and 20l E85. I just tweak the fuel pressure regulator for perfect afr ratio. Usually afr around 11,5 ish.. With w/m i hope the engine will be more happy.

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

Haha. Well you also earn doubble+ so not a big deal :-)
+-0 in the end beacuse everything els is double money , haha.
Work in norway, live in sweden Kristian then you home and also get the e85 that you want.

Lets take ONE beer at bugrun lol
See yaa!

[AJmustDIE]

ONE beer

It's never just one. -> ........

To my knowledge, no. After a long talk with Scott from USRT he set me up with some info and a nice package. For a dual nozzle setup you would run one nozzle after the IC and one after the tb. Having them seperated will provide the best of both worlds for cooling/octane considering one will have much more travel time in the chamber.

[ericmasters]

I am also in the learning stage of the meth world, so anybody please feel free to chime in! Your car is amazing btw, lots of inspiration

Hehe... Do not earn double salary Henric There is a reason why so many Swedes work in Norway. Good thing, is thr a lot off them stays as well. Beer @ Bugrun, yes! It was in the beginning of june yes? Looking foreward to see your 490whp Lupo! That is a monter! Car weights around 800 kg? Still using Bullseye turbo on that 1.8T?

It's never just one. -> ........

Never, ever just one. Its like opening a bag of m&m and just take one hehe.

I am also in the learning stage of the meth world, so anybody please feel free to chime in! Your car is amazing btw, lots of inspiration

Coolingmist is hooking me up with a stage 3 kit. I must say, the customer service is amazing. Can't wait!
Thank you for liking my car. There is a lot off stuff going on for it in 2013. Its a daily driven summer street car and not a track or drag.
