Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

      Was thinking nitrous - can get those pit bike kits off e-bay.

      No I'm happy with it, need to get back onto the Golf. At the stage of doing the entire inlet and carving up the exhaust. Just awaiting some play money, not flush times for me like most of the world!!

                It's a 4 stroke Benny boy, I thought the giant OHV - over head valve would give it away?? DOH!

                    Clutching at straws mate, but yes it's air cooled, I'll give you that. Got whipped by a 4.2 TDI Q7 today, so keen to get back to the real tinkering - see the Audi section! Can't have a big ar$e 4x4 kicking my butt!!

                              ANYHOO....The total loss Provent is as yet to be hooked up to something, to get rid of the vapours. Currently the blowby gas is dropping out after the engine, down low onto the road. No actual oil is coming out, which tells me the Provent is working well, but when you stop, well it smells very obviously of burning oil. Will have to put it into the exhaust somehow, but my thinking is I need to do it with some sort of one way valve, as under high flow, I may just push exhaust back into the Provent.

                              I'm happy there's no more oil vapour entering my inlet, but I need to come up with a way to burn it in the exhaust.

                                we could design up a venturie section of pipe so that its always sucking on the provent..vent.... i figure i'll need one too when i get a pro-vent on my mk3..
