Sleeper much :emo_baghead:

[Shteifen]

and we have a winner! good job man!

who did the engine work?

with the adjustable FPR and bigger injectors it doesnt seem like your too concerned with fuel economy, but ill say it anyway, with the 80 degree thermostat you'll probably use a bit more fuel, unless the giac chip can factor it in. (other wise its always going to think its not hot enough, like its just warming up so its gonna run rich like at idle, you know?)

Seb did the work, its certainly the coolest Auto VR6 kicking around I recon!!!

how does it go Courtney? :)

[Golf Houso]

I wonder how long the tranny will last lol...

Dyno'ed it at all?

[whiteVR6]

Yes Seb did all the work :bowdown:

although i did do the cleaning!!!

she is running real nice... i value my licence so i havent run her in good yet :(
taking her to Warwick over the weekend so will let you all know how she goes then (itll be my first time on the track so i hope i dont fail her... and Seb!!! :rolleyes:)

getting new tyres (Pirelli p6000) and a wheel alignment tomoro and then we will really be rolling

[whiteVR6]

will be at the dyno day on the 31st oct all welcomed to come check it out

[Mrk_Mickey]

It could definitely do with some polish and shoe polish for the bumpers :wasntme:

Glad you got it running guys.

-steve[/QUOTE]

I did all the work at the w/shop . Ihave all the specs of the engine written down somewhere in the workshop .

Fuel economy wasnt the greatest driving to Queensland , but with enough clothes / supplies and spare parts to last a week it doesnt suprise me . It avergaged 10l/100km over 2300km . The car does run hotter so it doesnt take long to heat it up .


I wonder how long the tranny will last lol...

Dyno'ed it at all?

Auto transmissions rarely break , they just wear out . Ive upgraded the parts deemed necessary for the extra power . I could break a manual transmission quicker than an auto , especially once you have decent power


PIX OF ENGINE BAY!!!

Have u done any suspension work?

Courtney will post up some current pics shortly .

Apart from some new bushes and soon new rear bump stops suspension will remain stock . This is a daily driver with a baby on board and will be a long distance driver so suspension will remain stock .


Needs a 5speed damn it! What a shame to have all that gear and run it through an auto.

The auto is a weakness ,but if it was a manual I wouldnt have used 262 cams , 268 as a minimum . Everyone can have their opinion on this , but it was my decision to build this to show you dont need a manual to have a quick car .


What time did it run?

9.8 @ 74 mph was its best time . I know it could have probably gone faster if I did some more tweaking before giving it to Courtney to drive . The Seat gti's best time was 10.4 . I know here in Sydney at Oran Park (where the elavation is much lower ) a manual vr6 with chip,intake,cat back exhaust ran 9.9 . So I'd say the car would run 9.5 . That equates to an easy high 14 on the 1/4 . Faster than Williams Ibiza VR6 . Im happy to run it against anyone thats up for a race , otherwise I'll wait until drag combat next year to get a 1/4 mile time .

[GoLfMan]

I love it cos its different to build a quick auto VR6.

I'd rock it as a daily for sure!

[whiteVR6]

Hi again
So we headed to warwick a couple of weeks ago and came back with two trophies :banana:
I think my best time down the 1/8th mile was 10.004 my reaction time needs a bit of work! but it was a fun weekend
This is definatly an enjoyable car to, sometimes too enjoyable!
I'm upgrading my brakes to 288mm units for the track day this coming weekend

[The_Hawk]

Nice work on getting the car up and running. I've only been down the strip once and managed a 15.7 in my VR6, and yeah, that whole reaction/launch thing takes a bit of work to get right.

[greens_tuf]

What is the stock thermostat temp in Aus VR6's I just assumed it was 80c?

Williams Ibiza is a stock, not new engine and it did a 15.1

For someone who swears by timeslips its funny that you didn`t run it down the quarter, so that we have to theorise its quarter mile time, or deduce it from the eighth time.

Probably because its not a very fast car that has has had that much spent on the engine.

If I had spent that budget on a VR6, I would have bolted on a supercharger and that would be that. Fast as....

Enjoy the auto VR6, probably makes it easier to drive in traffic.

the reason it hasnt run down the quater mile is becoz i havent been able to attend the events that have taken place since its been built, i have a job and a child and its not easy to make it to go to every event
the next drag combat that takes place i definatly be racing at

the reason it doesnt have a supercharger bolted on is becoz this is my daily driver and its really not nessesary for me not to mention the fact that i cant legally drive a supercharged car since i am still on my P plates, yes lame i know but some people follow the law

and yes i do enjoy it being an auto, i requested an auto car and seb built it to my specification so it would be great if you didnt shoot down his efforts, he did the best with what he had

now lets see some of your work?
then again id rather not get banned

high 14s seem like a pretty alright time for an auto. :)

any estimations of what kinda power it's putting down?

to be fair, golf loon has quite a few build threads of his own in their respective sections.

guys quit the stupid antagonism and lets see a vid!! :)

i'm sure extractors and a 2.5 inch exhaust on any vr6 make is sound horn.

Williams Ibiza runs stand alone . This car runs a chip , I really wish lemmiwinks or equivalent would work on the early ecu's so I can do some fuel trims . Instead I cant and have to use an adjustable fpr to compensate . Stand alone in this case is better cause there are no decent tunes available for modified N/A VR6's !

Id run it down the 1/4 , but its not my car . Its a daily driver that drives Courtney to work and does the grocery shopping . Its complete with all the dings from shopping trips . It even has rust starting to come through the door ! As much as I want to take it to the drags its just not practical , by the time Courtney can get to WSID from work after picking the baby up would be 7pm at the earliest , then scruteneering etc . Just not worth it , I know its fast , would have been good to compare to other cars at Warwick but no one really turned up so not my fault . Its booked in for drag combat so if your really really want to see it , it will be there . Oh and its probably gonna race at Portland as well .


I think you fail to realise that this engine had a spun bearing on the mains . Bolting on a supercharger would make it look like it would go faster but with a motor that wouldnt even start youd be going no-where , just faster .

Its fairly easy to drive . It does get annoying when it changes gears too early . Id doesnt start picking up till 4000rpm . Shifting is best done around 6700rpm .

Loon bought the red Ibiza from Ebay many years ago . It was built by a company on the Gold Coast ? from memory . I could find details of the company if you like , I know a guy thats had some work done by them .

There is a lot more drive train loss due to the auto , you feel it as it picks up . The advantage is shifting is fairly smooth and you dont have to worry about getting a perfect shift

Dynoed 115.4kw atws last dyno day .

Ive seen the quite a few build threads , but none have made it to any track days / drag days / dyno days . Its all well and good doing a build thread , saying how fast the car is , but , with no basis as a comparison how fast is the car in reality ?

A vid ? You can see this car in person at drag combat . Im expecting to see your car out there as well <wink>

Car sounds good , especially at WOT !

Interesting, more misinformation from Seb. The Car came from Pickles auction, and the engine came from ASV with an incomplete loom. Bolted together by me in my Garden.

So there is another red Ibiza with a Dizzy VR6 running around with Microtec then ?
This car was on ebay like 6 odd years ago . Who did your microtec install ? Where was it tuned and how much power did it make ???

[Tim]

bah u two need to stay out of eachothers threads if you cant play nicely!

And loon not wanting to stir **** but from memory if we are talking about the same VR6 ibiza now owned by william. You purchased it as an unfinished project. It was advertised on ebay for ages before you got it.

But yeah cut the crap! This thread is about courtneys car. Which in seeing it take off from golfworx place a couple weeks ago is an awesome piece of kit! Sounds tough as. Looks a lil bit rough round the edges but its a daily driver.. Not a show car.

I was amazed to see how well the aristo rims suited it as well. I would have thought they would look too big.

x2 on that... I remember it, he advertised it real cheap too. It was all bolted together before you got it, it just needed the finishing touches

[mikinoz]

I think that the VR6 is great - in terms that you have spent time and money to modify it how you wanted it to be for your purposes, that is great.

I spose really how fast it is down the 1/4 will be known only once you have done it.

[JVLR32]

Sounds like a healthy debate and i think both have handled it quiet well....no slanging....very good gentlemen:banana:

I will say one thing a true dyno is a Engine dyno!

[Golf Loon]

Who did your microtec install ? Where was it tuned and how much power did it make ???

All done by Adam at Just Engine Management 99KW ATW on the first tune. We then tweaked it later, dunno what we got that time.

We actually had to send the computer back to Microtech as it was sent out with the wrong settings and had been installed by monkeys.

Dunno that it was ever in Brisbane, I got it from Liverpool. It had never run when I had it and it was probably harder to repair all the stuff ups done by previous mechanics than just build it myself.

Thanks for the support guys, discussion and debate is healthy, its a shame if it has to degenerate into slanging.

We all like VWs, lets just play nice together.

[Oneofthegreats]

This is a very nice build with alot of thought put into all the part's selection which cam take alot of time & experience to get the setup's right.

After all it wasn't just a engine build. It's a complete drivetrain overhaul which is no small task I reckon

Look forward to seeing it run at both Portland & hopefully if I can make it. WSID.

P.S. It did sound pretty bloody nice leaving my house!




I will say one thing a true dyno is a Engine dyno!

I won't argue with this, but I'll add that not all dyno's or operator's are created equal. I had my car old car on a dyno for nearly a day one time & we played around with everything. I managed to screw another 10rwkw's out of it & thought. This is great!

Put it on the street & it was an absolute pig. Would chock & flood under a full throttle take off. On the dyno it was fine.

Nothing compares to real world/real load & real time tuning.

Thats why alot of people use the MPH of a 1/4 mile. As it take's so much power to push a car that weigh's so much over that 1320ft that fast.

Another one which I've been reading more & more about is the big white dyno.

Same principles apply. Certain weight takes so much power to push it so fast over a timed distance.

That must be one very slow VS SS sorry Spyda.

My stock VN 5L auto ran 14.8

Friends stock VN 5L manual ran 14.5

Friends stock VS GTS ran 14.0

Friends stock VE SS auto 13.6

Cousins stock Evo 3 with 80+kgs of stereo with 15psi ran 13.0

Can't remember the mph of these cars sorry

All of these cars were in full street trim ie. street tyres, full interior, spares etc.

I remember that the first oz built VR6 mk2 ran 14.4 full stripped out. Not bad considering how long ago it was.

[dubsquad]

Just saw this and must say awesome work, you should definitely do easy 14's with a little more tweaks here and there. Took mine to the Motorplex a couple of weeks ago, and got :
660ft - 9.85 @118.92km/h
1/4mile - 15.1.
My engine is stock apart from a pod filter and 2.5" catback exhaust. Other than that it's just lowered. Suspension should be your next area of interest IMO.

Oh and i'm pretty sure there a pic of your car on the strip in the latest issue of Volkswagen australia.

[Spyda]

Haha dont be sorry man, i dont care. That was my mates first run when he was 19 so im sure the car wasnt in great shape and he had no idea what he was doing. Thats the only actual VS SS time slips that ive seen, i have no idea what it is suposta do but thats what he got.

Still vr6 = slow in comparison. I knows its only half the engine but its also have the car. Its a bit anoying to see people arguing about whos cars faster when all the cars are slow.

My mates close friend has a VS BT1, looking stock from the outside running 11.8 on street tyres with a NA 5L (i havnt seen the time slip but by the sound of the engine i dont doubt it). The wheels chirp on each turn of the cam when its ideling in drive.

Got any pics of your cuz evo, i hear alot about it but have never seen it.

Science's VR6 ran 15.2 I think... He had time slips up on here but they have been deleted!

[mikinoz]

Don't know? A full tank of fuel would change you by about 30KG, spare wheel another 8-10KG, those aftermarket seats are more substantial than the original ones - and possibly I had a few 'random' items in there like the fire extinguisher, some tools and my laptop bag that could have added 10KG or so?

There is 50KG right there and bare weight from original specs is 810KG.

Sorry to hijack!

[Golf Loon]

There is 50KG right there and bare weight from original specs is 810KG.


Aftermarket Seats, bigger Radiator, Bigger Wheels than original and 16v engine and 5 speed all contribute.

Can't find the one with the 2.2 60 foot time that ended up running 14.1

[Tim]

hahah I remember that! There was video floating around as well wasnt there? Best burnout ever!
I remember u explaining the technique involved as well. From memory it was lots of revs, 2nd gear and a side step off the clutch!

[Sammy125TDi]

Tim its was a fun day indeed!

The technique is about 5500-6000 rpm, handbrake and no mercy for the clutch... if it was still in the water box you could flat change to third for extra smoke... just don't roll onto the sticky part because you will destroy a clutch/gearbox/driveshafts.

[Water Boy]

Nice work Sam :banana:

[KI11Z]

well i'll be! congrats bro, those stickies must make a hell of a difference huh :appl:

[Sammy125TDi]

well i'll be! congrats bro, those stickies must make a hell of a difference huh :appl:

There is a bit of an art to getting them down the strip quickly... it involves little mechanical sympathy and a good launch with the right amount of slip and grip. Sticky tyres are good for a few 10th's as is weight reduction, its all free horsepower.

will be taking this lil beast down to WSID on sunday so we'll see how we go with the 1/4 mile very exciting!

Good luck Courtney!!

How did you go champion?

[whiteVR6]

my best time today was 14.8
only got 3 runs and the other 2 were 15 and 15.03
my reaction times arent great (never have been) but was hoping for some better runs when the day got a bit cooler, unfortunatly i got eliminated so bit of a downer of a day

[Tim]

not bad for a slushbox vr6

[Preen59]

You're forgetting to add that you went 94MPH! That's awesome mph to run on a 14.8. Your car has heaps left if you can get the RPM up off the line. :cool:

[whiteVR6]

Looking at taking a run down the 1/4 again soon
have ordered a new custom intake which means ill be selling my schrick manifold soon (pm if anyones interested ;) ) hopefully this will bring my time down a bit
really need to work on reaction times though !!

got a few more mods in mind as im hoping to run in the 8's this year at warwick but will see how it goes
im a bit obsessed with this car so my white vr6 is feeling a bit neglected right now lol

[Bug_racer]

This car is going down a completely different path after a minor setback . Engine is sold (going into a manual so it will get to see the full potential) and the Auto VR6 is getting a 24V conversion . Hopefully should be done soon and car will be going to WSID again :)

[schoona]

Interesting... :)

[Stephy]

Oh - I do like the sound of that.
:D

[whiteVR6]

Ok so with 3 weeks to go before warwick this is where we are at...

Engine needs to go in
Torque converter is getting strengthened
Need to fit stand alone engine management
Custom exhaust to be made

then i need to pass rego :D

[Stephy]

Ooooohhhh - excitement! Will this make an appearance at SEDF?

[whiteVR6]

Since my little mishap a little while back the car has been sitting up the back of the workshop awaiting an engine transplant
Its pretty much decided to run a 24V Bora engine on ITBs, it will also be running a Lugtronic ECU and harness. There will probably be no real updates this year as Seb will be concentrating on the time attack car and speedway car. The parts have been ordered already though and will post some photos once they arrive.

[Water Boy]

Wow that will make an amazing noise!

[Bug_racer]

If no-one buys the race motor this car will end up with it .
Gonna be funny when the quickest N/A mk3 VR6 is auto and will probably be almost a second faster than the next quickest car :)

[KI11Z]

[KI11Z]

[HaydEn]

Bumps?

[Bug_racer]

Bumping this up . Pulled it out a few weeks ago , so much has happened since I last worked on it !
Ive gone over the car and Ive found I barely did any weight reduction all those years ago . Its already 30kg lighter than before thanks to my other half doing some work on it . The race motor actually was sold so it looks like this car will just get a built 12V . 13s is the goal , hopefully I'll get some time to work on it soon once a few large projects are done .

[HaydEn]

Hope so too. Motivation/competition for me.

[Bug_racer]

So Ive modified the head some more , put in bigger cams , modified the extractors , got a 2 1/2 inch aluminiunised exhaust and put the engine in the car . Its slowly coming together again .
