Clio of mine has gone.. It was only mine for a month as a means to sell on another car so I took it in part-ex. Now got myself back into the big audi's I love. (audi S6, V8)
I am after the accoustic valve for a supercharger build on a mk3 Gti golf.. to quieten it down.
Lupo 1.8t is fine...
anyone of you guys got your old accoustic valve and want to sell it?
I am after one for another project where I want to quieten somthing down
many thanks

It will require maintenance and service rebuilds, and have you spec'd one which has adequate torque hendling? driveshafts? gear selctor mechanism and indicator... all additional parts I believe.
I ask as I have been down this route for my racecar (not a clio) and to get one which was remotely...
ds2500 pads are superb pads, but like anything they have a temp limit.. which if you have got them crumbling you have got them too hot. these are only 280mm disks so there will be a lot of heat.
Ds3000's are the next level.
Dont blame disks because you overheated the brakes... Get better...
I will be paying by business Mastercard, so payment which allows this will be req'd..
If its not possible I will go direct if the logistics of this turn into a problem.
How does that fit with what you guys are planning?
lol - yea, tis I, Bill (said in an allo allo voice)
got a 182 at the mo, and enjoying it a lot. back to renaults again, previous was a well modded Ren 11 turbo back when i was *cough*, younger.
thanks for the welcome.
:)
remember a core's flow effciciency for cooling vs flow could cause a low temp but high pressure drop across the core, which is good for cooling but bad for overall power... flow is what you want.
what turbo are you running at the moment?
EGT's and wideband fueling are your important things to...
and these are also sold and very effective on atmo cars, 16v, VR6 etc, insulator is an insulator, and conducted temps from manifold is actually slightly higher on an atmo car, as intercooled turbo cars when running an efficient intercooler run cooler intakes... up until they hit start-stop...
what stops the ptfe gasket from creeping under clamp pressure and heat cool cycles of manifold and cyl head?
Phenolic is a better material to use for insulator gasket. incompressable unlike ptfe.
Phenolic is what we use on the vag turbo and VR/16v units
DTASWin software is pretty well featured, logging in-built etc, canbus now.. I run XDash also with its extra's for a whole load less £ than other systems.
Both systems have their market and followers. Both work well.

its a relative statement i would say.. cheap it is'nt, relative to some top team ecu's it is tho. paying a license fee smarts to me personally when the cost of the hardware is the same, just disabled in software from you. With the likes of DTA you buy an ecu, its comes with everything it can...
new spec for 2009, not raced it in 2008, was too busy and building it up again from shell to a higher spec chassis & motor.
DTA's dbw is not available to purchase I should mention, I am one of a couple of people testing them for DTA. One day it might be for motorsport use only ;)
motec is...
