Mk3highline reacted to Bealieboy in 6 branch manifold sizes help
353mm across manifold by 90mm depth at the mounting
63mm at downpipe
44mm branch pipes
50mm intermediate pipes
Approx 710mm total length from manifold to downpipe flange.
Hope that helps.

It looks like it's a supersprint copy

Mk3highline got a reaction from martingraham in Radiator and intercooler
Cheers
Will see or do something similar to the mk3 tdi for intercooler location
Or a side mount intercooler of a mk1 TT
Need to keep it all out of sight

Hello
I've picked up a 6branch for a vr6 but the diameter of the whole thing seems bit big
Anyone got one off the car that can measure the tube sizes pls?
I will once I find my vernier

Mk3highline got a reaction from Bealieboy in Mk4 calipers
Yeah you need to change the rear pipes and there available from eBay £35 ish
But the problem I had was that the normal size for the banjo bolt is m10 but the calipers I got off a mk4 had the m12 fitting
So get the calipers first to see the size of the banjo bolts

Mk3highline got a reaction from Bealieboy in 96 vr6 1st ever project build thread,
it will show 9psi as the charge air will be hotter/warmer than ambient temp
I can't wait to mine sorted the bracket part is going to be a nightmare

Start with a 24v motor mate
Davey boy and papers are going that way too
I think Same turbo set up same boost on a 24v usually give about 30-50 hp more than a 12v I think
And shed loads more torque in the mid range

Hey matty when I get my swap done I'll take you for a blast. I'm in Newcastle. Good to see more proper northerners on here lol

I'm colour blind too!!!
Well being honest I ended up using the 12v ecu so didn't have to rewire much besides the injectors and couple others like extend MAF sensor wires one wire on the alternator plug
It took me and hour to do the injectors one earth and 6 live lol
only reason I went 24v was the limits of the vr6 head N/A struggle to get to 250bhp
And cheaper than rebuilding the 12v
There are a few out there who can do a wiring loom for you so that its plug and play
There are quite a few corrados and golf with 4mo and r32 engines in
Its basically same engine to mount in the bay same mountings used
it took me a week but half that time I was getting stressed doing the heater matrix throwing spanners swearing making lots of tea eating and on phone to my mrs lol
I told her I would be back in a couple of days
Any ways if your near Northampton pop over I will take you out in the black rusty shed lol
I'm sort of in same boat as recently moved etc
In all the years of messing with cars this is by far the best most cost effective conversion I've done that's lasted lol 10k miles in 7 months

depends which parts your on about
It's more or less the same engine with extra 12v lol and a lot better head design
Servicing is same
Only difference when you go turbo will be the exhaust manifold but there only cheap
Which costs you on about?
Plus the 24v management is miles better one reason being as it uses wide band lambda as standard
Have a read of swivellingit s thread his got a low boost 24v 4motion
Zak
But the 12v VR6 does sound million times better than the 24v

Turbo the 24v instead even better again. Another member on here VIW28 has an around 550bhp mk3 with a 2.8 24v turbo engine in it

Oh sorry I meant was to swap in a 24v lump I paid £350 for the engine wiring ecu and gearbox
I sold gear box for £170
Old engine for £100
HT leads and tool for £30
Alternator £25
Intake pipe-PCv £25
Old clutch and flywheel I think I got £30
And I've still got some other bits left to sell
To get 250bhp from a 12v you would need loads and loads of cash to waste
A nothell mk3 golf with big valve head port polish and 3.2 didn't make 250
My standard 24v with a 4.4kg flywheel made 229bhp 200ft lbs and 224bhp second time at stealth and that is without a remap still got the cat and restrictive exhaust and a list of faults both times
Hope you see why I'm advising towards 24v

I think mk3highline has ran his mk3 with the mk4 24v engine on the rollers at 230bhp and this is the reason I'm picking my 24v engine up tomorrow
