  1. WOW, this will be such a buzz to drive, LOL, you are going to love it!!
  2. BWS is R36, BLV is passat and BHK is Toureg. If you want a 3.6 engine let me know. Alex
  3. Yeah car runs fine thanks. Just running N/A for now which is a handful in itself. Might have more of an update in a month or so.
  4. Have you looked at the 24 valve engines? 2.8, 3.2 and 3.6s. 280-290 hp with a standard R32 running Emerald or a 280-290hp 12v running 8 psi with either a turbo or supercharger. I know which one I would go for everytime. If you work out the costs involved going the turbo route properly to get the reliability its a no brainer.
  5. Whats wrong with your box to need a rebuild? Shims, some bearings and syncros are dealer only. I would offer to do it but I need to build another one for myself first.
  6. No John its a Syncro, no need for Haldex as its still only N/A, amazing car though!
  7. Have you tried contacting the supplier to see if he will send you one?
  8. How many of you have ever been out in a Rotrex charged car though?
  9. Are they for a N/A or boosted application?
  10. CCM (Golf VR6 02A) and CHN (Corrado VR6 02A) are the boxes to look out for. Alex
  11. If you want to make a 12v engine bulletproof you need to spend a fair bit of money. I spent thousands on mine forged rods, pistons etc and the head gasket still let go twice at 25+psi. Have a look to see what you can buy a 3.2 engine for?
  12. I hate to say it but 8.0:1 is just too low, 8.7:1 is as low as you want to go really.
  13. We have done 5 or 6 MK3 R32 conversions at work in the past month and they all made between 280 and 290 hp, the economy is still reasonable also especially for a daily driver! I really do think you should consider going to the 3.2 its just a much better engine all round.
