RobinJI Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Has anyone had much experince with TSR? I've read on other forums they're pretty sound. You can never have to many good references though I've got another engine on the way, TSR being VAG specific sem like a good place to start with internal mods..They're pretty local to me, and while they're a sound bunch of guys, from what I've seen and heard their works average, and their prices are laughable. There's a place 200 yards from my house who are seriously good and reasonably priced if you need anything doing. I know a guy who gets all his autograss mini stuff done buy them and the people who inspect the engines to make sure there's no cheating going on (cant remember there proper title right now) have commented on how the work was amazing and some of the best they've seen. Also the local VAG nutter brothers both swear by them having had engines built by both them and TSR (Their driveway currently contains a 1.3l mk1 run-around, a G60 turbo mk1 project car, a 2.1l 170bhp 8v mk1 GTI, a mint G60 corrado, a 3.2l B5 quattro A4, and a soon to be turbo VR6 mk3, between the 2 of them. haha, oh there's a series 2 landy project in there somewhere too.)

Rossi Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Can't believe i forgot about GSF, fool. Cheers. If its from a scirocco, it won't work. bosch no is 0237 021 041, so it's gotta match that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well I've had a nice up and down weekend...Bye bye K-JetHello ZX9R'sThey were running brilliantly for about 20minutes, before the hoses sucked themselves off the carbs, so I've spent today taking it all off again, put it back on, now I can't get it to run again it'll fire first turn of the key then just die regardless of what I do with the throttle, I'm hoping I can put it down to a flatter than flat battery...And a couple of pics of the car while I'm here methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hello ZX9R'sThat kit looks huge! What is it?I hope you can get it working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 ZX9R carbs, chopped down standard manifold, joined together with some 50mm silicone hose I've done the whole conversion for less than £100 It'll be alright I'm sure, I'll have my mates who actually know what they're doing with carbs look at it again!

tipsy Jock Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 You might want to move your harness straps so they're outside the headrest leg thingys, if you crash your head might fall off otherwise! Apparently anyway. The bike carbs must make an awesome noise, one of my friends bought an old scholl Audi 80 with bike carbs, it sounded like a plane on takeoff!

Alan Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Knocked on a door tonight about a polovan as i see they have recently got an Astravan, so wondered if they wanted to sell the polo, havn't ever seen one before.Was a fairly old guy, like late 50's, conversation started along the lines of "I couldn't sell it mate, its a part of me, ive had it since brand new and it would break my heart to get rid of it..."About 30 minutes later we was on the lines of "Well if you leave you name and number for me, if i do decide to get rid of it i won't want alot, as long as i know its going to a good home"So fingers crossed i'll get a phone call.Had a good ol chat with him about VW's, and the van is MINT. Think he said he bought it in 88 for like 5500 He kept laughing and saying i can't believe someones actually knocking for it, and i can see your not going to ruin it.Ahh i want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hello ZX9R'sWhat size throttle bodies are those? I've got a set of 36mm honda bike carbs sat in the mini that wont be going on it anymore, and I'm thinking if they're big enough to go on the rocco, well it'd be rude not to.

Jolfa Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 They're 40mm, with 165 jets (for now) on a 2.0 16vI should imagine yours would be plenty enough for a 'rocco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if I could use a cut down standard manifold on the 8v head? I'm guessing the answers no, but it'd be awesome if you could. Need to get my hands on one for a look really.

Jolfa Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 They sound gangster dude !It is a pretty ghetto job, even the injector holes in the mani are blocked with 1p pieces Sweet, cheers. Any idea if I could use a cut down standard manifold on the 8v head? I'm guessing the answers no, but it'd be awesome if you could. Need to get my hands on one for a look really.Almost certain the answer is no, due to the spacing of the ports to allow for the exhaust mani right under it. A metal fab/engineering type place may be able to modify it for you for not much money though... Something like this -Otherwise it's a Bogg Brothers job which isn't cheap!

Not really wanting to spend Bogg Brothers money, just seems ridiculous to spend £200 odd on a manifold for carbs that cost me £25. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
