I'm not trying to be that guy but you should really consider harnesses if you don't have them. 600hp in an mr2 spider with no airbags is a recipe for danger
Hooooly shit! Thats a wild build :D seing Audi/VW parts on the MR2 always feels kind of weird but even more awesome because it does not seem as straight forward for a swap. Definately subbed, I wanna see more :P
Did you fabricate the motor mounts or did you buy them? I would like to do a similar build for time attacks. I would go with the cast iron block 2.8L vr6 bore and striked to 3.0L. Where would suggest to get used vr6 engines? Is the engine you sourced from a v dubr32? Awesome job. Id love to see you using his car in autocross or time attacks or open series race days or practices!
I fabbed my own, and I sourced my engine and gearbox from a TT, which is the same block as the R32 or Touareg. I'd think the best 2.8 source would be from a mid 2000s jetta. Just make sure they're 24v instead of 12v. If I need a new block for mine, I'm gonna use a Touareg block since the R32 ones are rare. Also, all VR6 blocks are cast iron no matter what size if that matters.
The front ones are kinda shown in the second video I posted. Not sure if I'd recommend it unless you've done a full audi electronics swap, and need the hub and sensor design. I'll be doing a video in the future on finishing the air suspension setup that will have more detail on the rear setup.
Both engines are capable of big power, just one sounds better than the other, and has a better dyno curve for both hp and torque. It's all about preference at the end of the day, and I work on VW/Audi as my hobby. I'm not a Honda guy.
@@269GarageSo nicely said ! Your a very motivated talented guy ! Im watching this at least a year after you had posted this and i am hungering to hear more about how it performed on the street or track ? I drove a 450 HP 91 MK2 a few years ago and i was shocked at the grenade curve on throttle. It wasn’t really a fun drive as it was a handful when the turbo was spun up so much power all at once and especially in a 2,700 pound car i cant imagine 600 or 700 HP in that little go cart lots of smiles per mile . I liked and subscribed !
