    r32 head got destroied by the machine shop . I bought a r36 fsi head and I am in the process of fitting it. anyone done this before?
  2. the dog
    2.8 pistons have shorter compression height so they are 6mm under the block top at TDC. To fix that you need custom rods which are taller. If I understand things correctly you need 2.8 Crank ,r32 pistons and 6mm or so taller rods to make R30.They idea is to make the engine as square as possible . I was told an r30 had tuscan rods soo if they are not custom they may be from another model. Any recommendation on the chain tenstioner issue? I am preparing the head to rev to 8500rpm

    I think its time to clear the air. There are a lot of misinformation flying around. Its really frustrating.. First of all the 3.2 crank is in the 2.8 block. The crank is not touching anywhere and turns freely without any modification Second the Woosner R32 84mm pistons fits fine. The piston pin is where it should . So the R32 block is NOT taller. Its the same block with different bore and bolt diameter. . In the next couple of days I will post pictures of the R32 heads to the 2.8 block.

    There are a lot of misleading information about the Vr6 engine especially at vwvortex. I will post info with pictures here to clear the air. No modification needed for the crankshaft. No special pistons needed. I already tested the engine with the R32 crank (when I did plasti-gauge) . My problem is that I can not seem to find a good r32 crankshaft. All of them have a span rod bearing (oil pressure issue?any solution?) . Its like an epidemic . I am waiting to measure another one on Monday

    more issues with the used 3.2 crank.more delays... Just to let everone know the 3.2 block is not taller than the 2.8.

    Big delays from the machine shop. He promised he will have it ready tomorrow... Lets see.. 3.2 head is taller than the 2.8 24V. Head gaskets comparison shows no issues. 3.2 Crank is in the 2.8 block. I only need the block now to put everything together.

    I would be surprise if the blocks where different. I had both blocks next to each other and I am 99% sure the difference is bore and studs diameter. We will know hopefully today when the r32 pistons are in the bored-out 2.8 block....

    Question Is the 2.8 24v block the same as the 3.2 block minus the head studs? I tried googling it and I get some vwvorterex answers that it is. If this is the case then I am 1mm overbored for the r32 due to the larger studs I am using (2.8 ones) 034 is selling conversion kits to use 2.8 studs on the r32 so how bad will it be? I guess we will find out soon enough. Hopefully I will have the block ready be the end of this week. Any suggestion on porting the r32 heads, especially the exhaust ports??

    I was looking for 3.0 pistons (2.8 crank with 3.2 block, didnt really look into it as to what crank to use, ) but couldn't source a set fast enough.I event bought a good used 2.8 crank to use. That is why I went for high lift cams and solid lifters. I was only able to get a 3.2 piston set and I went for it. The block, most likely will crack but I am making a spare and if possible I want to sleeve it. Dragsters are in November so I have no time to waste waiting for parts. Turbo will get me to 850-900whp . BUT I have two big turbos to swap if needed. comp ct5x and a ct4x7875 billet . I am i

    i would also like to use the 3.2 crank but will the block with a 84mm bore, hold the 1000whp i am planing to push to? I know Eurospec sells stroker kits for the 2.8 to 3.2 butare the ok for this much power?
  15. the dog
    Thanks for the reply I am sticking with the 2.8 crank then. Do I need a torque late to bore the block? I found a R32 head which I bought . As for cams do you have any recommendation? I would like to rev to 8500rpm (gearing issues). What is needed to do this? Springs ,valves are a must. Do i need solid lifters?Where to get them? How to update the timing belt tensioner so it can survive?

    Hi I am new to the forum and completely new to vr6 engine. I will need to your help to get me started. The A3 quattro 8p needs to be faster than my 2.7T30v A4 b5(close to 1000whp) The engine I pickup is a 2.8 24v. The engine has an issue with the crankshaft so I pickup a 3.2 r32 crankshaft. My goal is to push to the 4 digit mark but there are a lot I dont know.. 1. Shall I bore the block to the r32 bore or will that make the block week? Can i quickly source stock bore bur r32 stroke pistons to go to 3.0 vr6? can the block take it? 2. How good are the heads? Can I get the 2.8 heads to flow

    Hi

    the dog posted a topic in Newbies Corner

    Hi from Cyprus I am about to start my new VR6 project. I pickup a 2,8 24V to swap in my Audi A3 Awd.I already got a 3.2 crank, turbo intake and I am looking for a r32 heads and better cams. I am planing of turbocharging it. They are still a lot of thinks that I dont know. For example I dont know if I can bore the block to the r32 bore without loosing the ability to hold the power. Is a girdle plate needed? How good are the heads?Do they need excessive head work for 800whp+? I am curious to see how far I can push. I took my 2.7biturbo in my A4 to close to 1000hp and I want to compare them
