Since ive mounted the Cayenne 6 pots with the 334x32 R32 discs on my VRT, which btw braking is awesome now, the stock rear brakes werent exactly pussymagnets ive bought the EPYTEC kit for the back, this kit comes complete with the hardware to mount the front 280mm vr6 discs on the new rear spindles, along with 911 (996) 4 pots brembos They also got a kit that comes with an extra adapter to fit S3/R32 calipers that youll need to use for the handbrake only Since i dont have those laying around yet, i went for the more basic kit, which means i now dont have a handbrake ( cant be bothered t

mk3 5 door turbo

/\ This is true. One of the reasons rods bend is because excessive back pressure fills a cylinder and almost 'hydro-locks' the piston....and something has to give....usually the rod. Seen plenty of S shaped ones come out of big turbo 1.8Ts that use sh1tty manifolds that don't flow enough.

They will....providing the overlap forced induction friendly. Schrick 268s are OK. 263s better. As for valves, I fitted a Schimmel head with +1mm oversize Inconel valves, a set of 263s and running exactly the same boost pressure (11psi, GT35R) I found an extra 50hp, so breathing mods can and do work.

it will be your only car vr6's are like cancer once you have got it, its hard to get rid of

Could do with reserves too. Also if anyone fancies Cumbria VAG in June let me or any of the other mods know and we'll get your name on the list

Nicely done daveyboy, got a nice assortment of cars going. Will try and remember to bring cleaning products this year so theres no dirty blue Corrado in the corner

Golf for me!

Yeah still using the standard cat

Hi - it doesn't quite work like that. This is what happens - my supplier forges them in-house, then sells them to big companies like Skunk2, hundreds at a time usually, who advertise them as their own rods - I can also get my own corporate logo on them etc if I want and do the same but I thought I would do it as a Group Buy to see what numbers I can drum up. As these are major forging plants you need to order at least 60+ units, sometimes 100+ in order to justify the tooling costs (same as in the UK). In order to do this I need to get the numbers to justify the costs - £9k was my last toolin

Hoping to be on new rims soon

It's good to see it some of it going to use and not the big scrap yard in the sky!

Ooooo, this sounds good cook, good work sir!!!!!!

My vr corrado and my buddy's cars vr6 TT and 2 Audi v8 Quattro

Cheers I've started a build thread now So once I have it I will upload the state it's in and progress pics etc.

Welcome mate I'm sure once you have sorted out the niggles you will fall in love with her! What problem are you currently having? Perhaps start a thread in the forum for advise Hopefully see you at a show soon! Pete

Stick with it Ben, they all have niggles here and there but once ironed out they are great motors. I've had 2 mk4 r32s in the past and they were both faultless. Same goes for my old faithful mk3 VR, couple of niggles here and there but 99% of the time she doesn't let me down.
