Henny 0 Posted July 4, 2006 too much! :lol: I did the assembly work myself, but there's a good eight or nine thousand pounds gone into the various versions of this engine since I started messing with it in a big way... I reckon to build another one would cost somewhere in the region of £6000... (not including the original engine to work on or labour costs!) In hindsight, I'd probably have gone with a VR6 and thrown the money at that instead to get some really silly BHP, but I'm very happy with what I now have, and have no regrets... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted July 4, 2006 *£6000 = approx $40,000,000 :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted July 4, 2006 There's a guide in the Bentley manual and lots of threads on it on here (have a search). Be careful though - most of us are Brits and the el-crappo ABS system on the US-spec cars works slightly differently and you need the ignition on for it to bleed properly. I'm sure I've seen a how-to on http://www.vwvortex.com forums, but I break out in a rash whenever I go on there, so not gonna look the link up for you :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted July 4, 2006 I was under the impression that the 2.8 and 2.9 engines produce 174PS and 190PS (DIN horsepower), or 171.6bhp and 187.4bhp (SAE horsepower), resepectively. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Yes they do. But US VR6s 'only' got the 174bhp 2.8 (see page 1) :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Yes indeedy, pferdesterke vs bhp. Din PS ratings from the manufacturer are near enough bhp ratings for bloke-in-pub type comparisons though.. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted July 5, 2006 You're so presumptious Kevin! I have tried one mate. And 2 x 325's. All E46. I meant try "it", as in race a 323i agains a VR6. Blimey. Wrong side of bed yesterday fella? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
