Other shops can install the HPA kits, but I was just answering his question as to what engine to use.

[benzza]

actually i dont know how to get that engine cuz its 3.2 liter which brand of that engin whats u guys think about the VR 6

[noR]

It's a 3.2L Vr6.

Available in an Adui TT , R32, beetle RSi.

I'm not sure what other cars.


VR6 is a big motor, and you can squeeze alot of power from it. But maintenance and repair might be a major pain.

[benzza]

thank you for all question but for Vr 6 there r two type of Vr6 right one is 2.8 another is 3.2 right which one is better

[noR]

3.2 is better. It's newer and more complicated. But it's a nice improvement over 2.8.

I agree with 3.2L. Now go to find one in used engine yard at Bangna. I think if you can have done VR6 completely but 2.0 plus Turbo set up won't be finished the problems. If you want some part here let me know.

[benzza]

hay karn i think when u come back may be we can join for beetle group anyway hows 1.8 t is it fast i think my 2.0l is litle slow and it wastes petrol 7 km per 1L. so bad anyway i think for 3.2 VR6 hard to find in bkk but 2.8 is okay easy to find anyway u think what do i need for the 2.8 engine to put in my bug karn.

give me some advise anything cool in US for bettle part

[karn_porsche]

My 1.8T is stock+ GIAC X and Forge DV and turbo inlet pipe for now. So it run quick from 0 to 100 mph or 160km/h. It's kind of fun. I know it's hard to find 3.2L in Thailand. Actually I have no idea about 2.0, my friend in Thailand put camshafts, expand the ports, new values, new exhaust on his 2.0 golf. It sounded good and run much better. There are many people here ride on 2.0. They can advise better about 2.0 more than me.

[benzza]

thank you kub karn i am not sure if i put Vr6 it will be just 180 hP but one company in bkk they tell me if i change the engin wont be good so they advise that their turbo set but light turbo but all it cost like 150000 baths kub also they said i can get like 210 hp anyway let me know some advise thank you kub karn

about the shock bar kub r these expensive in US kub

[karn_porsche]

What company is that? What turbo do they use? How long for warranty? The ABD upper stress bar is around $180.There are many VWshop over there. Do some reserch if you want to put VR6. It's not too hard to do but give them time.

Welcome, we're happy to have you here
Your bug sure uses a LOT of gas! I would suspect a problem.
On my 2.0L I get at least 100km from 10liters of gasoline. That's driving very aggressively. You should check what's causing your bug to use so much gasoline - I think something's wrong, or you at least need a tuneup.

[benzza]

thank you for ur advise but i heard some people say for 2.0l its waste like 7km per 1L is that right

anyway what if i put nuespeed supercharge would it be better

[karn_porsche]

I think Benzaa drive around Bangkok which has bad traffic,so he doesn't drive much on highway like us.

[benzza]

thank you for every answers but for kun karn the company call A Mortorsport this company they will sep up turbo for which they can get 210 hp and another company which already have one bug put nuespeed supercharge and they cost like 150000 bath this company already had a project for supercharge they said bettle has 90 hp after they put nuespeed they have 40 hp more do u think its which way is better also VR6 itself has HP around 180 hp which should be the best way istn it VR6 doesnt cost much

Now is up to your style because if I were you, I would swap the engine to VR6 and build it up healthy so I can ride without problem. I would follow the VR6 diagram in every position. I'm not sure about supercharge because I don't know the effective result after that.
I think in the 150000 budget. You can see VR6 under your hood. Try to find the beetle with VR6 and compare which one you like more.

[benzza]

thank you kub kun karn i think i would prefer the VR6 engine cuz i think bigger power much better than set up the turbo

[VR6Bug]

i have the first VR6 beetle ever swapped. It was done in 1999 when my car was barely a year old. Some insight is always nice. I love the VR in my car but i would recommend you buy something else to be a daily driver. The oil pan on the VR in a beetle hangs like 3in bellow the sub frame. I've ripped over 7 pans wide opened in my car. The VR is great and tons of fun it just really sucks if your car is lowered say bye bye to oil pans and hello to fried rod bearings. I've tried everything but its imposable to stop ripping pans unless you have a dry sump oil system. I don't want to deter you from doing it, only you can make the right decision for you needs. best luck pm me if you need any help
