  • Has anyone been to the wreckers in Kilsyth? They have 3 mk3s wrecking there and thought I might go on over and see if I can find some parts that I need.

            Silver, Green, Black! You're in luck. Except I was planning going on Wednesday. I start work at 3pm now on Saturdays but finish 12 on Wednesdays was thinking of spending the afternoon there.

                Don't pass that up too soon, a vintage VB can must be worth hundreds on the Coast.

                    Sounds slightly wrecked but will probably go very cheap, if anyone in SA needs spares.

                        • Hey everyone,

                          Im currently in the process of doing a turbo build to my mk3 vr6. Its all happening at JC Racing in Botany. Im curious as to what people think are some 'must do' modifications in order to have a reliable and healthy motor as well as drivetrain etc.
                          Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

                          Cheers,

                            • Henry,

                              From what I've researched, the bottom end needs ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs (to prevent the head lifting) with a decompression plate when running more than 7/8psi.

                              The gearbox a LSD will help but the 02a boxes aren't the strongest over 250kw or so. Maybe putting an 02m FWD box in would be good, I think Seb might have one possibly?
                              Other than that I don't think a whole lot is needed besides an oil cooler unless you're planning to go more than 300kw+. Tuning counts for a lot and it's good that you're going standalone so you won't have issue with bad files, etc.

                              Tim

                              • The stock pistons are cast i'm petty sure, so you may as well chuck in forged pistons. A part from the cost there really isn't a downside, and seeing as new pistons means new rings and maybe a hone, your engine will potentially be in a better place anyway. Might not need forged pistons if you're not chasing big power, but its an easy win now if you decide you want more power later. my 2c
