Can people chime-in with some ideas about exhausts? 63mm (2.5") presumably are not off the shelf and need to be custom-made? I'd prefer stainless but mild steel would suffice.
Jetex & magnex both do 2.5" systems off the shelf,i have the latter and its very very quiet,the air/boost wooshing noises however are not so i'd go for a 2 box system at the least.
Hi is the vr6 throttle body your using the obd1 or 2 and how much bigger is it to the bam one thinking of buying one myself. what manifold are you fitting it to im using a large port agu you sticking with the bam minifold? also see you are going cable will you need a bracket for the cable?
TB - VR6 2.9 'Rado - OBD1. Larger diameter throat than DBW one. Inlet manifold - Stock BAM Cable bracket - Have welder.......will fabricate!
Can anyone identify this part? I removed it from a Mk2 shell that used to have a 20v BAM installed ! Was bolted to front crossmember.
Custom engine mount?? Something I've thought about instead of the solid one which I've heard breaks brackets.
I can see a pic of the bracket in the car before I bought it.........but I don't think I got both halves!
yeah looks custom, is the round bit on the top threaded? if so the oem front bracket might sit right on top lovely
Embarrasingly, I add this pic of the other half I found on the crossmember just now.......... Yes, looks custom front mount.....was on a BAM equipped car, so WIN for this install!
LUK VR6 Clutch assembly arrived.......I also found a solid flywheel in my lockup - Taken off a Mk3 Golf 1.9TDi engine last year.
yep thats a std front bracket, so any engine which uses mk2/3 mounts should drop right on nee bother might be an idea to find out what it is theough, so you know where to get bushes from. ive read about people making things to accept ford mounts, so id start there. does the rubber have any markings?
Are you making a transition plate between throttle body and manifold as mine is not a direct bolt on part so my toolmaker mate machined me a plate .
Good point.......i've yet to offer it up, but if you say it needs one, I'll have to get one made. Thx for the tip.
