Has anyone RS2ed their 3b? What ECU SW?

[PeterS]

Folks:

Trying to get some more information and feedback. Who here in the forum has "RS2ed" their 3bs?

Friend of mine has RS2'd his 3b for his URQ, has the full RS2 package ( oem turbo, injectors, FPR, MAF, and cams, plans on running a 944 IC (not much room on an URQ for anything bigger without alot of bodywork) and he is looking for SW for a 200 q 20v (3B) ECU ( he does have a 3 bar Bosch PT)

I'm looking for something similar, but with some slight differences..(RS2 turbo, RS2 or RS2 compatible injectors and FPR, 3b MAF, initially the S2 IC, late a much larger aftermarket one )...I have both an S2 3B ECU and a 200 3b one...I'll need to do something about upgrading the stock 2.0 Bart PT...

Both of us are in the states, and there are some options here too, but alot less experience with this type of conversion (RS2'd AANs are popular)

I've known Mihnea for something like 4+ years and have very pleased with MRC stage 1 in my 200q20v, but he's ever busy, and unfortunately for us (but good for his sanity) not the traveling tuning gypsy that he used to be...

(maybe this thread will get his attention )

If you do a search for newsh on the forum he has a comprehesive thread showing his upgrade of his S2 from 3B to RS2

Jamo:

Thanks for the reminder of Newsh's very impressive upgrade...

BUT, the thread is incomplete - it appears ( or it hasn't been posted) that he upgraded the SW....

If you mean ECU chipping by software then the Car has been tuned by MRC.

Top thread!

I like to read that one when I'm tired of the overtime and thinking I should splash out on a pre-summer holiday... it's inspiring

I'm currently undergoing a 3B-RS2 conversion myself, not quite as 'bling' as Newsh but it's still gonna go like hell

Main difference is the big-end bearings and head gasket to be done of course, but then that's a great excuse to fit some uprated conrods and make the engine torque-safe to full RS2 turbo capabilities...

Cheers

I just had my 3B ECU upgraded (full RS2 specs) by Alex at Intended Acceleration in Washington. He knows the 3B inside and out. www.intendedacceleration.com

Hi Peter, yes the car was mapped my Mihnea, MRC Tuning.
Mihnea plugs all his gauges and stuff and the computer into your car then sits in the passenger seat and remaps it as you drive, quite a buzz
He does travel to the States from time to time.

I really should read my thread again sometime to see if it needs updating

Beautiful work !!!

Can you comment on the results? Horsepower/Torque estimate? have you done any rolling road testing? Did you install a stronger waste gate spring for faster boost response? Or did you tighten down the Waste gate spring?

[newsh]

The car made about 340-350 on the RR I think before it was really running right, its had a Motorsport fuel pump and new filter and 7A FPR, and the RS2 airbox since then and a full set of Samcos and the Mark H mod, should be around 360HP and 500Nm now

I'm going to be fitting a 6 speed and a set of rods and going for even more torque soon I hope.

Yes Mihnea fits a stronger spring
