I am keen to trace the history of a Golf Edition 30 engine?

With regards to the cooling etc everything is fine in the Golf set-up I suppose it depends where the intercooler/intake etc is to be mounted in the Elise.

p.s my pal runs an Elise 111 and has invited me to Anglesey on a trackday soon, which is very nice of him :smiley:

That torque figure is fantastic compared to the Toyota unit where anything over 200ftlbs would melt the gearbox! You have to rev the balls off the 2zz engine which is fun on track but tiring on the road. Excuse my ignorance- what is a DV?

I think we are looking at a pro alloy intercooler but you are right in saying that the location is key as there is not a huge amount of space available in the engine bay.

Anglesey is a great track- very twisty and suits the Elise well.

gazbutS3:
The DV is the diverter valve, its a factory fit electronic dump valve basically, the early cars had a rubber diaphram type which weren't the most reliable and were liable to split espcially when mapped, VAG made an updated piston type which seams to be much better, I've been running one for 20K on Stg 2+ ( which would be a giggle in an Elise). They aren't expensive 45quidish from the dealer and are a doddle to change, I'll dig you the part number out if you like.

Yes, Anglesey is a lovely track, been there a couple of times in the S3 :smiley:

Rupert:
Got you- thank you very much for that. If you do have the part number that would be great  :happy2:

Are the dump valves audible?

alexperkins:
It isnt a dump valve on the FSI engine - its a diverter valve that recircs used boost back into the intake. It does make a bit of noise if theres enough unused boost, but nothing like an atmospheric DV

Rupert:
My mistake  :happy2:

Glad I won't be sounding like a chav Supra  :wink:
