Plenty of turbo info on here mate
-
I thought I'd try my luck just for a change I'm after a very cheap mk3 golf vr6 Preferably 3dr obd2 Any condition will be considered as it's going to be project and will be completely rebuilt. The only problem is, I wish to do a deal on a set of wheels for the car Now before people call me mad, or God knows whatever!! Lol these wheels are up for sale at £650 so I thought why not try and open my options and get something that I want from them. The wheels are Audi bbs speedlines 18" split rims They have been split and powder coated and are now finished getting rebuilt, I also have x5 tyres whic
-
Looks promising Davey Especially since it's been painted lol I love the vento front too, I'd keep the comps and sell the blq's tbh to fumd the build So keeping an eye on this
-
Yes Davey and that's why I ain't doing it anymore lol Unless I can get a vr6 donar car seriously cheap with a fucked body or loads of rust il consider it but il stick with buying a decent vr first lol Thanks for the above help though
-
Thanks mate So in one way it would be wise just buying a decent vr6 But on the other hand I might find a decent gti for cheap but still have to find a doner car to swap in Unless I can find an engine,box,loom then find some driveshafts separate it find a breaking vr6 Either way it's going to cost similar amounts, and either way the vr6 lump will be rebuilt so it doesn't exactly have to be a minter. Same for body work although I can't be arsed with loads of rot I wi co slider both options but i have to sort out the garden where the work is going to happen first, get all my tools together, so
-
I've been looking into this if I can't find a vr6 golf in the price range and local enough (when I actually get round to getting one) I now know the clutch is only hydraulic on the gti 16v and the vr6 so that rules out all other models unless I'm willing to change Now the work involved with this along with suspension, driveshafts I might aswell just spend more money on a vr really So I've decided to forget about this and focus on just a vr or if a turbo'd vr came up at the time I'd possibly buy that
-
Bump so how hard would it be too put a 2.8 vr6 into a mk3 gti? Or any mk3 for that matter
-
I'm in the lookout for a vr6 3dr manual but as funds a low ATM and can't seem to find one sutible for a project I had a thought What if I bought a mk3 3dr Then bought a vr6 loom, Ecu, lump and box? I know it will fit as I have done it before years ago but I was young and it was a family members car so didn't pay much attention How hard is it? Simply plug and play? Bare in mind I want a track themed car with stripped interior, roll cage Then a turbo'd 12v lump up front So all has to be stripped anyway as part of the project Just is the suspension the same? Il be putting 312mm brakes on any

Garrett gr35r turbo £1050 Tial 38mm waste gate £180 263 schimmel cams £400 Arp head studs £180 Timing chain set £205 Head gasket set plus other gaskets £150 Clutch £400 Head spacer £60 Intercooler £100 Cooler pipes Oil lines Cone filter £50 4" maf Manifold t4 3" down pipe + exhaust £500 Walbro fuel pump £170 Injectors £200 Started putting together a shopping list, now I now some prices will be slightly wrong but it's just a rough figure ATM. By the time you factor in software/ rolling roads/ clamps/ pipes/ fittings plus what ever Your looking at about the same price as stealth racings prices
-
I knew there weren't cheap lol I wouldn't mind buying 2nd hand either, see now the cheap skate in me would be tempted by an eBay special but I'm going to have to say no from the get go and not cheap out on things lol Especially the turbo !!
-
I haven't even bought a car yet haha I've had 2 vr's and a gti so still got some parts lying around Just if I plan it properly il know exactly what to buy How I want it too look Il know the budget etc I'd hate to think I started such a project and couldn't finish it I'd love a 3.0l forged lump but it's out of my budget, experience At the moment I need to know where to buy turbos from? And how much is a good price to pay for a gt35r? The rest of the things I know where to buy from
-
Cheers mate bit of a brain fart there
-
What were you saying yes to Mike? I asked that many questions haha
-
I can do the work myself, if I need a hand I have plenty of mates that are mechanics How come you arnt using a spacer? And you using low comp Pistons ?
-
Another question Are they water cooled? I read somewhere I'd need to plumb it into the coolant system
-
Few people seem to be getting the Garrett gt35r which looks like the best overall for power, delivery, drivability and keeping the gearbox relatively unscathed if I don't go mental Where can I buy one from though ? What price am I looking at? Is it a full unit ?
-
They've got they reasons I suppose I would like a full kit bought so I can fit myself, but it was only to make it easier lol If I had a spare 5k it let them fit one for me but I haven't lol so I'm going to have to stockpile the parts until I have them all haha
-
Does anyone know if stealth can cater this kit for diy ? Or is it still a full supply and fit service ?
-
Which figment for the turbo aswell ? T3/t4 ??? Bit confusing ask this turbo lark
-
Right I'm looking into this more and more now Few questions ons I have are Which turbo? Initially il be aiming for 350bhp roughly, by reading some other thread about 9psi is quite good, perhaps little lower to start with and achieve lower 300s Injectors ? How big? And what brand? 4" maf? Is it just the standard maf just with a 4" housing? Waste gate? External waste Gate is the way to go from what I've read, about 40-50mm I'm guessing. But do I need a BOV aswell or not? And I do want a quite loud psssshhtttttt haha because I can Can I use a spacer plate before I turbo ? And run a lower com
-
Yeah Pete now I know having looked into more Funds are a little low ATM since buying the girlfriend a corsa so just waiting for now Plans are rebuild with 263 cams/arp bolts, stainless exhaust, remap Underneath rebuild and paint, bigger brakes etc Whilst collecting turbo bits then il take it back off the road (if it's on the road [emoji13][emoji13]) And turbo it. Il probably aim for 350bhp similar to the setup stealth sell
-
I think I've came to the wrong forum lol Davey my mate who's does remaps is Paul, tell him Matty sent ya, I think it will be his first vr mapping as well but could be wrong http://www.unit9remaps.co.uk that's his site mate
-
Aye Davey cheers Be good to see another vr And il have a look for that mk3
-
Yayyyy!! Colour blind people lol It does seem very worth it overall, especially if someone can make a plug n play harness, my mate does remapping so stuff on that side of things is great. Does a 24v head not fit on the 12v block? Well saying that it's the same as doing a full swap isn't since it's the same block haha brain fart!! I appreciate the offer Zak but I'm miles away lol, I'm in County Durham/Newcastle area but thanks anyway Like Davey said it might be wise to go straight turbo, but I am interested in 24v now, just not interested in the extra work and money. I know selling the 12v woul
-
I read a post on this forum that 24v tuning part are 20-30% more expensive, although I don't recall the age of the post, so could of be a while ago. You clearly know what your talking about but without sounding funny, if the 24v engine is so much better, which I'm not saying it isn't, why hasent everyone on here done it? I do love the 12v sound too, lol I think Im just wanting to make this simple tbh, especially at first, as I don't know the condition of the car il be buying (hopefully il find a good one, plenty out there if I keep looking) How hard is the 24v swap? I'm colourblind so the las
