A friend has gone down the DTA route on his mk3 20VT conversion. I think it all comes down to who maps it in the end. QPEng route looks easy and no further mapping required to get it running. It's not going to be an optimum map but it should be close enough for now.
Yeah, QPEng looks good but can you still tweak it for more power later on? I have heard from reliable sources that DTA has more options, but I am not sure on pricing.
Konis should be fine on standard springs, used this combination on lots of cars. Suits our roads up here well. I think the TA shocks I've got are standard length.
There shouldnt be that much of a difference in weight, block is essentially the same isnt it? Will see how it sits when I finish and take it from there. KW V3 coilovers are on the wish list!
Cool. KWV3's are very sexy. I'm thinking of them for my Rallye, as they are supposed to transform it. (Not that it handles badly anyway
)
G60 brakes are a definate, trying to source some carriers at the moment.
Spent many an hour searching on Club GTi, most of this conversion is well documneted over there thankfully!
Am a mod over there, my sig has my VR6 on, but my name is different.....begins with a P. PM me if you need anything.
Wheels are going to be standard RAs, trying to keep it looking as standard as possible. I think a 8" wide wheel would kill the handling, I'm more of a how it goes not how it looks person
They are actually pretty good on a 8" wheel, as long as you get the offset right. RA's always look good though. Are yours from a sportline?
The subframe that it's mounted to is bushed from the body so hopefully it wont be that bad. As you say quite easy to change if I dont like it!
Barry did you notice any increase in noise when you fitted yours?
Rallye is all poly-bushed up and quite firm, but you ask if there's any noise?
The engine is not that quiet really, so its hard to tell, off the top of my head it has the boost return deleted, ITG panel filter, 65mm pulley, SNS/G-werks map, Schrick cam, Nothelle head and Pipewerx (decatted) exhaust. It's not the quietest thing in the world, but it does sound well.
I'll see if I can find a pic of some RM's that I was making up.
