3.6L and 3.8L Bora 24v conversions

[Bug_racer]

Yep, 3.6L block, 3.2L head (so they'd be the Mk5 R32 Golf head and the CC/R36 Passat 3.6L block mated together). I guess the 3.2L head must flow better?

It actually flows worse , but , the bigger engines are all FSI , so unless you plan on doing wiring harness / ecu / fuel pump+rail etc swap its much easier just to use the bottom end to get a bit more capacity .

Also this will only work on 2002 onwards Bora V6 as the 2001 didnt have the proper VVTI and the timing chains/mounting points for the guides on the head are different !

The engine comes with a reflashed ECU ready to fit. The company claim it is a 100% bolt on job, uses all the original parts except for the ECU that they supply.

I think that is probably another reason they use the 2.8 head in the conversion of a Bora/Jetta and the 3.2 head in the conversion of the R32, the head is identical to what came out of the car so everything bolts back on.

$7900 + shipping + cams... baby jesus is crying but holy mother of god... for an N/A setup that literally bolts in the results would speak for themselves.

2.8 24valve with a 3.2 head skies the limit.....luv the topic

If a Bora 4mo surprises me at the lights some day... at least I'll know what was under the hood!

Freakin' love it; I came so close to buying a 4mo instead of my S4! If I hadn't done so I'd be onto this without question.

Just aint cheap any of these conversions....be wise on ur decision

I would say they do that to make it a MPI 3.6 instead of a FSI 3.6.. R36 head flows better than a R32 head.. That's what I've been told.

Makes sense. You're not someone I'm likely to argue with on this anyway.

(If you want to finance something crazy in a Bora, I've got the car... )

it would be interestin to see if a r36 would flow better than a r32 head..:p
