shrek777 15 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) SOoo...A few has changed over the winter... Car is r8 now broken into pieces... engine out, whole rebuilt, engine bay cleaned... Engine: head work + Schimmel 263 cams, lightweight pulleys, new engine mounts, refurbished manifold + cover, new gaskets, new chains, new piston rings, new ignition unit, new hoses, cooler, resealed AC, painted block + cleaned trans, new clutch kit, refurbished flywheel, refurbished starter, refurbished alternator...and maybe something more + BBS R17 from Polo Cross, tuned muffler, painted fenders + bonnet.... Lastly, but most importantly I managed to acquire an Oettinger manifold (schrick without logo) with complete setup and ECU from VW Sharan 2.8 VR6...for a dime Thinking about restoring it and putting it on my engine later this season... Here are some pics from works which are still underway...expecting it to be running mid April...

shrek777 15 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Sooo... It´s been a long few months spent in the garage but the engine is up and running It was quite a relief when it rolled over. It has some slight ticking but I presume it has to settle down, first 500km will be slow and steady to get the engine into the proper state Then dyno and some tune to get it smoother running Edited April 16, 2017 by shrek777 vr6_dazza, storms and VR6 Supercharged 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Flylow 2 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Your car looks very nice. I wish I was in Europe to modify my vr6 4motion. I am battling to get mine turbocharged. Link to post Share on other sites
