rs2 engine problem!(help)

[Tonks4x4]

Charge the battery, that won't help if its low and slow turning over.

I guess you have already checked if there is any boost leaks? I know there is no MAF on Vems but it seems to have the same symptoms.

And my 2p about if its an rs2 or not!
It is an RS2! With an upgraded inlet, upgraded turbo etc. who cares if the block code is RR,3B,AAN,ABY,ADU
Johnny has an original ADU engine in his 3B coupe does that make it an RS2 coupe???

Agree with tonks, stop bullying about the 3B engine, bit childish IMO.

Hope you get it running right

[pasbogdan]

Not anymore.

Yup..Rs2 chasis with adu engine,custom exhaust,custom intake,custom turbo,injectors,pistons,rods,cam cover,ecu etc etc upgrades is rs2 and you get in your knees in front if it and say"great job".And this one is not anymore???????The only difference between upgraded 3b and adu engines remains what?cam sensor?that could be solved.

[rynaqui]

Unfortunate if the old ADU had problems you couldn't solve. Good luck with fixing this one

..it's a car that's getting driven ..rather than an immobile garage queen.

And the guys here will help you sort it..Good luck ,Fatii

Silly question maybe but have you got the cam timing out? (did you change the cambelt) On rs2 cam wheel does not align with mark on valve cover on 3b it does

[AndyP]

It's timucin's old car, yes it is a real one.

So what if it's got a 3b in it, at least its kind of running now which it always refused to do for a few years.


That car was jinxed from the start

If you read the original build thread you will see why it no longer has the RS2 engine.

[V6quattro]

Just finish reanding it.....

I'm not bullying here, just considering that such a long thread, with so many disasters..
Almost long as the RS2 America one......

Different approach to an iconic car......

to me Saltinot car it's defenetely an RS2 where the exTimucin car it's not anymore, it's not about bullying but the simple truth.

Stefano, that's Your simple truth.
If you see how many rs2 have been left unmolested then you will realise that you are a minority. Most of s2 rs2 owners see them as highly modifiable and to ME that doesn't make them less of an rs2.

Besides there are a lot of improvements to be made on the original engine and I wouldn't hesitate to do them to just say that its original.

I have seen a lot of original which are not even reaching 240hp. Does that make them more valuable because they are original?

[UrS4boy]

To me an RS2 with a 3B is not an RS2 anymore. That said, if the original poster had just said, "I have a 3B on VEMS that is having problems, can you help me?", I think the response would have be more positive.

And it still can be.
