how much would a VR6 conversion cost roughly?

[Water Boy]

Man sleeper much... I love the pop out rear windows... Get the intercooler clack and make sure u keep the steelies on...

Now get some more go-fast goodies and really start blowing the doors of ricers...

Quick question do u have some sort of LSD in there for some twin spinning smoking action from the front wheels that would really freak em out

Dave just let me have a good go in this car, some motorway driving. Its very civilized for a conversion. You can drive it sensibly, or like a Lunatic. I didnt have the radio on, engine was music enough.

loon, the intercooler will work best in the raw.

FYI everyone - heat is transfered from the hot intake air to cooling air flowing from he outside through the aluminium make up of the intercooler. the wrong kind of paint may act as a heat transfer barrier, a bit like a ceramic coating or similar.

radiator paint will minimise any heat transfer changes. i dont know if you can buy it, or if its much different to normal enamel, but radiator shops nearly always paint repaired radiators in black glossy paint.

Thanks for all the comments guys, seems the stealth look was the way to go. I like it a lot, i think of any excuse to go to the garage just to perv at it. Blacked out intercooler would look good but the thought of taking the front off again..nah.

I see this thread hasn't been added to for a while. As a Cupra owner I am very interested in this car. An update would be good if you have the time.

He has moved to Canberra but the car is still driving around and has been Tuned recently and engineered.

Update Dave?

Tuning the QPeng ecu is so stoneage compared even to Microtech. Even the guys at QP in England couldn't provide the tech help and they don't have a tech manual.The problem with overseas stuff is there is nearly no support.An Autronic SM4 would be the go.But in the end after 20to 25 hours of trying to figure out the backwards way they built the ecu we managed to get 93.6 KW's at the wheels from only 10 to11 psi from a 110KW at the fly engine.And it stops and turns very well,almost feels like a Golf 1 the way it handles!
