Earwig 89 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Down the line I am looking at swapping the VR out for an R32, but due to the cost of it and the time involved in sourcing parts I am now looking at the idea of adding a charger for the short term until I can get all the R32 stuff ready and then I want to take the charger from the Vr and put it onto the R32 when I do the engine swap....Is this even possible ? The engines themselves are not to different, at least I don't think theya re but then I don't know that much anyway haha.would appreciate some advice please on what I should be looking at doing (If it can be done)Cheers,Mark.

craggsy 91 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The chargers themselves will be interchangable. Just mounting hardwear and boost pipes will differ Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 That is just the news I wanted to hear I take it mountings and boost pipes are not to expensive ?Also, Vortech or Rotrex ? I know Rotrex are more expensive. I don't want to go silly with prices as my main goal is the R32. . If I remember correctly, you had the Rotrex ? Did you ever have the Vortech to ? Or was that Jake ? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Rotrex all day. Just more effecient, will give more power at a lower boost level.I had a rotrex as did Jake but Jake has had everything tho Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I had a Vortech with NOS and 12psi pulley running 388.8 bhp, but honesty id got Rotrex for a charger but ...... a charger is just a stepping stone to a turbo !! ...... Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 lol just look at the member that have had chargers and now have turbos .... hmmmmm ok not very one but all the ones who are speed freaks .... lol Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Would love a Turbo but I gotta try and keep things reasonably sensible !And besides, swapping a Turbo from a VR to an R32 would be a larger cost right ? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Just different manifold....and boost pipes etc Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Your convincing me more to go with a Turbo !Gonna be more difficult to put together though right ? Not just simply a case of bolt something to the side of the engine like a charger...Stealth racing jobby ?What sort of price can you expect these days ? I saw the pricng list in their thread but it's a bit dated. Are prices around the same ? Anyone know ? Link to post Share on other sites
