- 05 GLS BHW sedan 5 speed conversion. BHW Carver SantaCruz in progress
Big thanks to Whitbread, vwzips and more than a few others that provided the parts and info needed to do this conversion. Took about a month of evenings and weekends that included a bsm delete, timing belt and parting out a v6 passat for the conversion parts.
Had Matt do the Malone stage 2 to the ecu. EGR delete (looking back now i maybe should have kept it on this motor) and i believe it's the 300 clutch 45lbs flywheel kit whitbread sells that is his "personal favorite". It has a very soft pedal pressure and despite not driving a stick in 2 or 3 years was a breeze to pick up on. If you can swing his kit in your budget do it!
The engine has a noticeable vibe/tone at ilde. Not bad but probably not something someone who needs an ultra smooth car is gonna like. Im a diesel nut and to me idle vibes are part if the oil burning experience.
When I first fired the car up (after setting abs codes and steering angle dodad) my tv was at about 4...adjusted 6 times and ended up at 7...went back the other way and ended up at 2.7...figured i could do better...another fraction of an inch counter clock wise and im dead on 0.0. May play with it a big more in the future but as of now im sick of working in the evenings and wanna watch the pens win cup number 6. Yes i let the car warm up over 80 deg before adjusting. It was near 80 today so it didn't take long despite the egr delete.
So for my question. I used to have the mpg reading on the display...now it reads a min reading and outside air temp. How do i get it to show mpgs again? Im not sure that this min means
Also...a stage 2 BHW is nice! It feels quicker than my old jdm b18c5 95 dx hatchback and at nearly 1000 lbs heavier. Im quite impressed with the responsiveness in this motor.
