Engineering, front brakes, nistune, injectors, turbo & splitfires would need to be done as well...

More cost effective to get the 20 singing.



For someone who's owned his 32 for like 100 years you really are a tight arse...

$2000 engine/loom + $1200 gearbox + $400 brakes + $600 engineering + $400 splitfires + $1500 turbo + $600 injectors + $500 nistune + $500 tune + $600 hoses/misc

Not going to spend $8600 when I can get my car running for $2k and re-use my turbo/injectors/splits/nistune :)

Why do you need Splitfires, Turbo, Injectors, Nistune, Tune... It's going to be faster than your 20 in every way in 100% stock form... 

230kw with my current setup vs. a 170kw stock rb25.

Even so, it will cost me $5k to drop in a stock rb25 setup as opposed to keeping my 230kw for $2k

My 33 GTST did 199rwkw with an exhaust lol. Even then that would be LEAPS AND BOUNDS above a 230kw RB20. It would be leaps and bounds above a 290kw RB20 in comparison. Peak power means shit when you have to wait till 8k to use it on the street.

Gotta look at the long term benefits and potential for future upgrade. Also shaving nearly 6-7+ years off the engine age. Resale value will be slightly increased. General reputation amongst VWLers etc.

Legit the only thing that matters though

Yah but yours is ded... Most likely because it's been forced into making 230kw and it kurt cobained in retaliation.

Stop grieving, start making 2.5L torque...

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
