my 4 motion r32 golf hybrid with added boost ;)

[pzr vr6]

the car started life as a 2.8l vr6 4motion with every option apart from sat nav. at some point somebody hit a rock and smashed the sump off the motor it got written off as cat d.
the previous owner to me bought it and a scrap r32 golf then proceeded to swap everything mechanical apart from the brakes
ie engine wishbones steering rack suspension arbs etc i bought it from him like that about 12 months ago

iv got some updates iv ordered a set of ecs stage 5 brakes these have 355mm 2 piece disks and porsche cayene 6 pot callipers and are ****** huge!

very stealthy and itl go like ****
mods so far are
kw v3 suspension
nuespeed front and rear arbs
3 strut braces
poly bushes thoughout
75% reduced throw gearshift
race haldex controller (far more aggressive than stock and goes full 50/50 torque split also works off throttle position not just wheelspin)
boost gauge oil temp and oil pressure gauge
dubpower prototype big bore and port matched 6 branch exhaust manifold
full custom 3" exhaust system with big bore custom decat pipe
carbinio induction kit (makes it sound a little like the 12v vr6 which is a very good thing)
18" oz superleggeras with 245 40 18 potenza s02 (225/35/18s in the pic)
YouTube - exhaust
YouTube - launch

bits to do

YouTube - 450 bhp Rotrex R32 scares the mrs!

YouTube - Superchrged Golf R32 450bhp


YouTube - Rotrex R32 on take off!

been down to have a look at it today its in a million pieces. the heads off its been examined for wear (mainly chains/tensioners etc) and its mint
these pics are a good view of the vr6 lump 6 pistons in a v on a single head the 2.8l 12v has exactly the same layout

[pzr vr6]

Should be a nice car when it's done. Pity its a 5 door.

got a 6 year old and 3 month old so 5 doors = good i dropped on the car with the engine already done so couldnt care less if it was 3 or 5 dorrrs tbh
yeah im on r32oc

 

[pzr vr6]

I love the video with your girlfriend (wife?) saying "slow down, that's enough".

thats not mine mate that was the protoype rotrex r32

is mine still a 4mo? yeah but no but yeah but lol

 

[pzr vr6]

You have to lose the grey mudflaps and lower plastic trim or do something about them being grey!

makes it more subtle

 

[pzr vr6]

oh it comes up nice when i clean it properly

rear looks lower than it is because the front nearside wheel is on a kurb but no other wheels are iv had to get genuine r32 wheels on because i couldnt get the superleggeras to fit over the brakes

 

[pzr vr6]

il bear that in mind
but trust me round here especially in this weather its filthy within 2 days of cleaning it the shape of the booft creates low pressure which sucks a lot of crap into it (also adds drag but thats another topic lol)

 

[pzr vr6]

i use fk1000p sealent the paint beads really well for months and a quick wash is enough to restore it very niceley iv just never bought decent trim detailer lol

wash it
claybar if needed
wash again if needed (clay)
chem guys wet mirror finish glase (adds depth)
fk1000p sealent
dodo juice red mist detailing spray (fantastic beading)

 

[pzr vr6]

Clearly need to drive in something properly fast then all this stuff about trim cleaning etc will go out the window with a massive grin on your face

that too

 

[pzr vr6]

heres a launch vid WITHOUT the charger 240 hp max

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzhtWEOQeQQ
i had a very nice 4wd controller on it then FAR more aggressive than standerd and worked off throttle position didnt wait for wheelspin. iv ordered a manual controller from holland but it seems to have disappeared in the post!! it means i set the 4wd anything between fwd and 50/50 split i can leave it permenant 4wd if i want


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzhtWEOQeQQ


how do i embed vids here?

 

[pzr vr6]

How did you find sunny weather to use a Megs G220 in?!

fine mate gives you vibration white finger though lol

the red mist is fantastic for removing the polish best thing iv used


ps when i get the smaller pulley and fix the limp mode issue it should be around 500 hp and 400 lb ft thats not bull**** pub numbers either

 

[pzr vr6]

im going round the car as and when i can polishing it. iv done the bonnet a while ago today i went at the boot and the nearside rear 1/4

after washing

http://i46.tinypic.com/1zcfm80.jpg

as you can see theres still some scratches there but iv not got a paint depth gauge and i think id have to take a lot off to get rid of them and imho its not worth it

heres a few of the rear 1/4 no before pics cba lol the whole car was/is packed full of swirl marks

Pics too big. Please re-size or use links. FF.

 

[pzr vr6]

the stock controller is rubbish for doughnuts its fwd until it detects wheelspin and theres a delay before it puts some power (only 20-30%) to the rear wheels. it feels clumsy and lazy when you play in the snow but its doable

3rd gear driftin a bit

2nd gear doghnuts changed to 3rd at the end itl prob do them in 6th lol

 

[pzr vr6]

 

[pzr vr6]

jesus that cant be road legal

sounds like its not got any form of silencing or cat whatsoever.

2 boxes no cats pased mot so cant be that bad but yeah its ****** angry when you open it up


Don't swear please.

 

[pzr vr6]

Dude that car launches like a mofo!

V. Nice I like

that was before the charger too

 

[pzr vr6]

Hmm

passed an MOT with a decat you say ?

The OcUK detectives are already sniffing. Wonder how long ....

sniff away its emmissions test not a cat test the cats reduce emmissions hence most decatted cars fail

 

[pzr vr6]

Ah, i was under the impression the videos he posted was of his car.

they are my car i made a mess of the 1st post i copied and pasted it without reading it properly
i also got a 2 day ban from the forum for naughty language (think father ted) it suprised me as id expect a warning 1st but hay ho

yes iv got r32 wheels on it now the charger brakes etc are all fitted the engines run in im just chasing down the last stupid sensor fault. the water/methanol injection makes a hell of a difference and the rolling road was done without it connected.

i dont see why you cant run the haldex in fwd mode (i did indeed pull the fuse for the rr) its not a mechanical centre diff so theres nothing actually being stressed. im also waiting for a manual haldex controller to arrive from holland when thats in i tell it what % torque split to run anywhere between 0 (fwd) and full 50/50 split permenant if i want.

any other questions/suspicions?

 

[pzr vr6]

Shame the guy didn't read the FAQ.

That car sounds like a diesel at lower revs aswell

i didnt read faqs has anybody ever read them ever before posting?
and it sounds nothing like a diesel in the flesh

 

[pzr vr6]

And the thread gets derailed as per......

Love it sounds awesome, bet its bloody scary.

its actually a doddle to drive because of the way a centrifugal supercharger works. the power increases extremely smoothly you get no big thump like most turbos it just keeps pulling harder and harder the more revs you give it + with it being 3.2l you just stick it in 6th gear at 25 mph+ and waft round anyway
