Tim's 3 Door VR6 Turbo Build

[timiteo]

A few updates but no tune yet guys!

Car is running but we're just sorting out an alternator charging issue. It ran fine at idle it's just the tune that needs to be done before skids haha.





And some of the good stuff!



I won't be making it to VITS Pat I've still got a lot of work to do before then but will be at Nationals.

Josh I do plan on engineering it I have the engineer ready to go I'm just waiting on the tune and install stuff.

Stathi she'll be running soon! Drop around one day after visiting your girlfriend haha

Looking good Tim!
What ecu are you running, is that the issue re the alternator?

Running a Haltech PS2000 Speed.

And the alternator issue is separate, the ECU runs fine it's just an electrical charging issue.

SP mx5's had the same issue with a haltech. Believe the wiring diagrams are incorrect and needed to be patched. That's why I mentioned it.

If the ecu is responsible for controlling the alternator regulator than its a possibility. I don't know but thought it worth while mentioning it.

Hope it's sorted soon

I believe in a VR6 the alternator trigger is in the cluster or something like that.

Anyway it's fixed now and the car is getting tuned next week sometime hopefully.

Sneaky shot from the rear. It's the only piston car in a shop full of rotaries!

Nice one!

Small update started it up and it gets up to temperature everything works fine and it's surprisingly quiet both the exhaust and engine noise. The loudest thing in the engine bay at idle is the ticking from the injectors!

The car is now booked in for tuning next week (I know I've said that before but delays delays) so I should have some numbers very soon!

I'll put a picture up why not here's my MK1 and my friends MK3 3 Door VR6. It's a shame it's N/A though!

Nothing wrong with NA.

Made some nice pulls and good power we almost had the 98 tune done then blew a head gasket on high boost. Waiting for a new head gasket in the mail then back together and off for the ethanol tune!



It definitely comes alive at 3000rpm it's ridiculous how quickly it builds boost. Final power figures to be posted very soon!
