Title: Clueless and need all the help I can get! Post by: Aneves on September 06, 2016, 07:47:32 PM What's up guys? Have a mk4 vr6 looking to tune stock engine while learning, I'm building a turbo 2.8 vr6 that I would like to tune once I can get around tuning my own. All and any help greatly appreciated. Need help start to finish, hardware, software and know how!
Title: Re: Clueless and need all the help I can get! Post by: nyet on September 06, 2016, 07:53:34 PM One word of advice. Do not start buying parts until you have your tune fully planned out.
If you buy a random box of parts, and only after you installed them start to worry about your tune, you're fucked. Title: Re: Clueless and need all the help I can get! Post by: Carsinc on September 07, 2016, 05:09:07 AM Nyet speaks the truth, that being said there are def some things that can be done.
I'd say its safe to build the bottom end, you know rods and pistons, if stock pitons plan for a headspacer cause you will be wanting to lower the compression. Other than that I'm going to tell you the same others will, to go from 0 to VRT in the tuning world is far from easy and will most likely take years.

Title: Re: Clueless and need all the help I can get! Post by: Carsinc on September 07, 2016, 04:48:58 PM I agree but a headspacer is better than stock compression.

Title: Re: Clueless and need all the help I can get! Post by: Aneves on November 05, 2016, 03:42:08 PM As far as "hardware" I was speaking in terms of tuning electronically wise. Sorry for the mixup. Mechanically all hardware I have already been collecting it over the past months. I own a shop and have access lots of goodies. Vibrant sure helps a lot. My whole thing is that I would love to build a car and do everything myself, instead of subletting it out. All help greatly appreciated.

Not sure what your tuning experience is, but if you're actually clueless as you say, one noob to another: - Buy a stock 1.8T (K03(s), stock injectors) - Swap it into your MK4 - Tune that to stage 1 - Change to bigger injectors and Turbo - Tune to stage 3. Revisit your VR6. I could be wrong, but getting the hang of these things is difficult in easy level, you're playing God mode. |
