Not much, almost everything is left stock. The most expensive part is the standalone and other electronics around the engine. It's being converted to 4motion right now!
Congrats to a nice build! Im converting mine to 4motion right now :) Yepp im running stock internals with arp headstuds with about 500whp. Going built motor now with ie rods and je pistons with a precision 6766. Hoping for around 800whp with that setup.
It is not the same engine. The 2.8 is called the AAA and the 2.9 is called the ABV. The AAA engine is only used in the golf and the ABV engine is used in the Corrado and Golf Syncro.
Sounds good :). I am converting a Passat 35i B4 VR6 Syncro to Turbo and 4-Motion. I have allmost all the parts but still missing someone to build my engineblock and head. I got some Wiseco 8:1 pistons etc. etc. :). I guess i will drive at first as FWD since the haldex controllers are still very expensive, but the most of the parts is allready ready :).
T4! I tuned it myself so it has alot more power to give in a real dyno With a good tuner. Im going to build a new exhaust manifold and replace some ignition parts and buy 2150cc injectors :) Tranny will also be swapped for a 02m 6spd!
''The second was the 12-valve VR6 engine which came in two variants: a 2.8 litre (AAA) model for the US and Canadian markets and a 2.9 litre (ABV) version for the European market.'' so wth are you talking about?
Yoo Mikael, nice vr6 turbo. Building one myself now. A golf 2 4x4 vr6 turbo. But i was looking for a nice holset turbo. Thought the hx40 would be to big (want to achieve 450 whp or so). But you drive the hx52 on a stock vr6? With stock internals? And how much hp do you make if i may ask? Thanks :)
i am impressed! i just ordered a HX35 with 14cm exhaust housing for my VR6 Turbo project. If i am not happy i will change it with a GTX35 but the HX52 is interesting too. How big is your exhaust housing?
Yeah, i payed 3000NOK for mine. NEW and including shipping. And i can be sure it is not a fake Holset :). Is it T3 or T4 on yours? Who mapped your car?
Jag är själv intresserad av en vr6, vad tycker du om dem? mycket strul? eller är det enda negativa att de dricker en del? :) Blir kanske en vr6 som första bil :p
Mikael Wallin lol...Thats why I asked,I just switch to the bw s366 .91a/r so i was trying to do a comparison...Not yet tuned though....check out my vids when u get a chance
WhaDatProduction Haha, thats funny :D i think yours is going to spool alot faster than my holset every day of the week! Any idea when you're going to get it tuned? I'd love to see som numbers!
