If I went mk2 wishbones hubs etc would that mean it'd be 4x100? Do you know the difference in width between wide track and standard mk2?

Evening all, I might have to make up custom mounts for a vr6 conversion but what I'd like to know is, would there be any running issues if the engine was to lean further forward? Reason being I'd like to lean it further forward to raise the diff slightly so as not to stress the CV joints as the car will be pretty low and I've had a couple of collapsed CVs in the past due to lowering. I'll be using balljoint extenders/modified hubs to compensate for the lowering. Let me know guys Kenny

Evening all, I was looking at putting a vr into a polo using the standard mk3 vr6 subframe, but the track is 120mm wide and the wheels I have from an old car that I wanted to use are ET0 instead compared to the vr6s original offset of 35 (?) so will have shed loads of poke. So here's the question, is there a narrower subframe that I could use? Or shorter wishbones that'll bolt up to the standard mk3 vr6 subframe? Any ideas? Let me know Kenny

Ah well cant be then, good to know. How does it sound compared to routing back into the dp?

Sorry Kev shouldn't have brought it up lol Is it not illegal to run an open wastegate dump?

That wastegate is absolutely huge, dunno how much space you'd have down the back of the block, esp if you went for a hx40. You can see it on the 3rd pic down here . . . . http://www.g-s-racing.com/dan-chapman-jdm-allstars-drift-car.html

That might be on the drift car they sponsor, says its sr20det made 440 at 1.25 bar, doesnt mention spooling though.

Oh aye forgot one of the guys had ran both my bad.

I've got a couple of emails back from them iirc he said the hx35 would probably see full boost at about 4000rpm on the 12v but personally I think it'd be hitting full boost quite a bit before that as its not much bigger than a gt30 (i think).

Wasn't dissing or doubting the quality of the 35R, if I had the cash I'd be buying one, Just saying that seems to be the best place to buy them from, although the claim their hx40 spools like a GT30 sounds a bit far fetched, would like to test it.

When I asked about Holsets before I'm sure it was Kev who pointed out the exhaust housings are designed for diesel exhaust temps and may not take too kindly to petrol exhaust temps. If your keen on getting one I'd get it from GS posted above, brand new turbo, with warranty from somebody who knows what they're talking about, not somebody on ebay selling you an old one of their truck that they've heard can do 500hp on a petrol engine.

3500 was what I was aiming for, a power band as close to standard as possible but with more power, you guys arnt 2.8 anymore are you? 2.9 or 3L going by your pistons.

I think the 12cm2 is .87 A/R and the 14cm2 is 1.01 A/R, what kinda rpm are people with 35Rs seeing full boost? Just too compare. I'd been looking at the hx40 with a 14cm2 housing but if its bigger than the 35R and with a bigger exhaust housing it might be a bit too laggy, would a hx35 with 14cm2 be a better option, bit closer to the garrett?

As everyone said, sounds like an awesome project keep us all updated!

They dont actually have a T3 divided listed on the site but I'll email them, thanks for the link.
