It was only reving to 5000 on the rollers at well lane so i followed their recomendation and fitted a standard air box/filter (I havent re fitted the head-inlet recirculator yet). Anyway the car now revs right to the red line but seems a bit gutless after 5000, do i have a fueling problem?
Sounds more like coil pack. Mine died on me at York Dragway. pulled ok in the loer gears, but was flat as a f4rt over 5000rpm once I got into 3rd.
How much for a second hand coilpack? Or should i buy a new one?? Can anyone lend me one to test???? I live in sunny Rochdale
it would if they put a probe up the exhaust,for some strange reason they were just doing power figures?
Maybe they stuck the probe somewhere else I passed the emmisions part of the mot easily last week. I have a mate who is building a mk2 with a corrado vr6 init, i'll see if he will lend me his coilpack, your house was a bit further than i thought last time Paul but i'll come up for the eibach!
Strut brace, have you wet the bed or what? I didnt think you worked weekends, and i didnt think anyone who didnt work was up at this time.
Mine felt exactly the same so I had it put on the rollers and it was just flat after 5000rpm - and max bhp was down at 125 road/168 fly. They suggested that the cat was blocked (dunno if you've got one on yours) - and if you looked at the cat when doing 6000 rpm it had a patch that was glowing red indicating a blockage.(suggest you do this when on rollers not opening the door and sticking your head out on the motorway lol). Bit of a gamble but I managed to find a 2nd hand one for 75 - fitted it and problem solved.
I live in sunny Rochdale [/QUOTE] Whereabouts in Rochdale do you live mate?I live in Middleton/Blackley area but the girlfriend lives in Littleborough so I pass through Rochdale most nights.Do you ever go on town hall?I drive a black Vento VR6,lowered and OZ Super T's.You might have seen it knocking about PETE
BlueVR, I have a decat pipe fitted but thanks for the suggestion. Pete, I live near the football ground and work at boro heating, a guy (called tommy) who comes in my work was telling me about his son who has a black vento vr6, is he your dad? I might have seen it, is it on an M plate? Edited by: 1990
Yeah,thats my dad.Small world eh?He comes in your place with his mate Tony.Its an L-reg,now on a private reg-L666VRG.You cant miss it(usually filthy cos i rarely wash it) Peter
Tony Hyde AKA Claud Greengrass, feck me it is definately a small world, do you fancy comming to the Rochdale meet on Saturday? OH yes, and the car went alot better with the other coilpack on, mine has a good few cracks on the bottom of it and was only held in by 2 bolts??? Bit dodgy. Phatvr6, if you come accross any damaged corrado vr6's while on your search let me know, i fancy attempting a vr conversion on my own over the winter. Edited by: 1990
I'll try and get there!!A lot of the dash is in bits at mo-in process of fitting tv and dvd player. PETER
