double-6s 0 Posted April 1, 2006 is the audi 3.2 engine the same as the r32 lump? and would the inlet manifold off the audi 3.2/r32 fit on a 2.8 lump? just curious. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted April 1, 2006 no 2.8 and 3.2 heads are different, the 3.2 has bigger ports exhaust manfolds fit though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted April 1, 2006 cheers. and are the sudi/dub lumps essentially the same? pretty sure they would be given the similar outputs they have.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted April 1, 2006 yes, althoguh it does have a different engine code the audi has a better exhaust (tubular stainless headers instead of cast) slightly bigger throttle body (I think) and the cam cover is different. inlet manifold is the same but the audi one has the bushes for the TB rotated 45 degress so the throttle body sits on an angle, so it clears the bonnet. something I had to do on my own conversion (instead of cutting a hole i the bonnet stiffening ribs like the 2 mk2 R32 conversions I've seen....)

PhatVR6 0 Posted April 1, 2006 yeah! still looking for some audi headers so I can ditch this cast crap. just fitted milltek cats to the mk4 (4 motion), the power gain is noticable!! these 24v's love free flowing exhausts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted April 1, 2006 i was thinking of a 12v rebuild, but am gradually getting talked around to 24v i reckon. how much does stand-alone management cost phat? did i read one of your posts mention it? just curious again. oooh - have you got the kw's yet. think i may go for the v 2's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
