Star*Chip.
The first stage in the tuning process
for all Mk3 vehicles, Star*Chip gives real benefits in
all-round performance (especially noticeable in the mid-rev
range). There are no down sides and a conspicuous power
gain is achieved as well as smoother running, better throttle
response and usually slightly better fuel economy when
cruising. There are no special tuning requirements and
servicing specifications remain unaltered. See our Star*Chip
section for more details.
Star*Chip
Plus.
Star*Chip plus is an effective and economical
conversion only available for 4 Cylinder 8 Valve MK3's.
It comprises a special version of the above Star*Chip
conversion, a free flow air filter element and a replacement
section of the exhaust pipe which fits between the exhaust
manifold and the catalytic converter.
Our research revealed that the restrictive nature of the
original pipe limited the power output. The new free-flow
section has the effect of releasing that wasted power
and the special Star*Chip ensures the correct ignition
timing and fuelling requirements are maintained.
PLUS-PAC Conversion.
The Mk3 PLUS-PAC conversion is based
around a unique camshaft design, developed in collaboration
with Crane Cams of America, which is matched to specially
modified software in the engine's Electronic Control Unit.
A free flow, washable air filter element is also fitted
to complete the package.
The cam profiles constitute the latest evolution in camshaft
design. Valve overlaps are kept to a minimum, reducing
the risk of raw hydrocarbons entering the exhaust, while
the special ECU software ensures that the emission levels
remain well within EC legal limits.
This conversion constitutes the greatest possible power
increase available on a while-you-wait basis, taking just
a few hours to fit and test.
SUPER PLUS-PAC.
Top of the range for the all-model conversions,
the Super PLUS-PAC incorporates the cam, chip and air
filter of the PLUS-PAC together with
cylinder head inlet and exhaust ports reshaped using the
latest techniques in surface finishing to assure fine
atomisation of the fuel.
In addition to this, larger valves
are fitted to the 4 cylinder 2 litre 8 valve engines,
increasing the top-end mass -airflow, improving
the performance even further!
To summarise the kits comprise:
- Gasflowed cylinder head,
- Sports camshafts,
- Larger valves (4cyl/2L/8V only),
- Specially selected valve springs
(4cyl/2L/8V only),
- Free flow, washable air filter element,
- Specially revised engine management
system software,
- All necessary gaskets etc.
VR6
REC3000/3100.
This conversion represents the ultimate
stage of tune but relates only to VR6 models. Not only
do all the features of the Super PLUS-PAC
apply, but the swept volume is increased from 2.8 to 3.0
litres (REC3000) for engines fitted to all models except
the Corrado (which has a 2.9 litre engine as standard).
In the case of the Corrado, kit RE3100 is applied, increasing
the swept volume from 2.9 to 3.1 litres.
The increase in swept volume is achieved by the use of
a longer stroke crankshaft. The original connecting rods
are used and the extra stroke is compensated for by modifying
the deck height of the pistons.
It is also possible to increase the
swept volume of the 2.8 litre engines to 3.1 litres!
This is achieved by re-boring the cylinder block and fitting
larger diameter pistons in addition to everything else
and can be ordered under conversion number REC3100S.
To summarise the REC... kits comprise:
- Long stroke crankshaft,
- Modified pistons (oversized and modified
for REC3100S only),
- Re-bored cylinder block (REC3100S
only),
- Gasflowed cylinder head,
- Polished valves,
- Selected valve springs,
- Sports camshafts,
- Free flow, washable air filter element,
- Specially revised engine management
system software,
- All necessary gaskets/expendables
etc.
