got the need for some power

[Treza360]

this might sound abit dumb but if the 3.2 motor is highly tuned and the 2.8 is not, could i just change the motor to a 3.2? chip it and a set of headers? or isn't their much more power in the 3.2 for the work? i am sorry if this sounds abit stupid

If you can find an 3.2 motor sure but it's going to be pricey. Have a look for JVL32's thread where he was trying to find one. Also from my previous post, no there's not really that much power to be eeked out of the .:R without big dollars and/or forced induction.
Forced induction for the Bora is a good option.

By the way I think Seb (Bug_racer) is probably the best person for input on this topic as in Australia I think he's the man when it comes to N/A mods on the VR6 VWs.

Sebs done a few forced induction ones as well

theres about 3-4 r32's running around in Syd that Seb has fitted cams, extractors, port work, and other misc mods running 130-155 at all 4 wheels (with GIAC on most) as well.

i think he also may have a set of cams to suit a r32 golf that also fit in a v6 bora as well avail for sale from a customer (sexyr)

yeah that's aussyjimmy from Vortex isn't it?
When you think that I did ~122kW at all 4 wheels stock, that's a hell of a lot money to shell out for a ~30kW gain. The joys of N/A tuning.
Chip and exhaust I think is where I'm going to leave it at.

worked out what i am going to do now after thinking about with a few beers a couple of mates. going keep the same motor and just do some of the more basic upgrades (full exhaust, chip and maybe cams) and put money into some other project.

now, i have talking to few mates and got a few prices on extractors. the two prices ica get a set of amk or a set of obx for around $500 (mates rate but would have to wait 3 weeks) or a i can get a set of hand-made extractors for $200 per cylinder ($1200 bucks) but get early next week. have not really heard much about amk or obx, any good? or should i pay the little extra hand made ones?
