what does the r36 engine come out of?

 

[Englebert]

The Passat, 300bhp with DSG.

Amazing, thought they came out very recently? Must have a bit of money to do that in such a short space of time.

Looks absolutely perfect too...

 

[Rob.H]

Passat i beleive??

Looks very nice that, bet its quick too, just wonder if it would be very nose heavy and have alot of understeer?

 

[Green_Speed_Machine]

The r36? lol

 

[sean_d]

Very smart car

 

[ForceIndia]

Also a few Audi's which is where I imagine this comes from.

 

[Englebert]

Just noticed the Audi badge, perhaps you can get it in an Audi of some description too?

 

[Chris n nic]

R36 estate...saw one at TOTB at elvington...pretty smart but surely that would be a massive weight to have at the front...although its pretty cool to have that in it imo

Chris

 

[DazG]

297 bhp as standard and yes the engine is out of the Passat R36

 

[Christopher]

That's some feat!

Must be a narrow angle V6 then? Like the old VR6's

Awesome car anyway, it must sound epic!

 

[Naith]

i want.. NOW

 

[VeinAST]

Looks stunning that

 

[Beas]

Thats mint!! seen a mk2 with an R32 engine before but never that!! Bet its great fun with a DSG gearbox in! assuming it has. Anyone no if it rear wheel, 4wheel or front wheel drive?

Wasn't the one at TOTB in the rear though? Or was that a different car? (I remember it f**king flew!)...

Looks amazing the one in the OP though. very OEM looking.

Proper job!

 

[jesus]

Looks stunning that

as does the r36 (potentially)

 

[Waitey]

Isn't the R36 V6 all alloy. If so its probably lighter than the old 1.8.

 

[Ben.]

looks a beast

google'd it and the only audi with a 3.6 fsi engine is the Q7, surley that wont be it?

 

[Ian_182]

Probably got the engine from a breakers yard for a couple of grand

Looks bloody lovely.

Bet it shifts too

I always thought the VR6 engine wasn't a V6??
Anyone confirm?

 

[The Boosh!]

it says v6 on the engine joe so im guessing it must be...

 

[Pep]

^ The pic of the R36 engine does, a VR6 says 'VR6' on it

 

[Weeman]

i can confirm your thoughts are wrong and it is a v6

 

[Gary-Lew]

That lump is also in the Q7

 

[PYE21]

VW Also 'released' several engines to UK tuners on the quite to put into projects etc months before the R36 was released!!

Proper job!

That was a Polo coupe m8y...and was with a 1.8t in the rear. I actually meant I saw a proper R36 Estate parked up....

[clio_mad]

Awesome car, I believe its being either turbo or supercharged for more power

 

[DazG]

Awesome car, I believe its being either turbo or supercharged for more power

I think it was being supercharged and the owner was trying to fit the haldex 4 motion system off an mk5 R32 as well.

Awesome project none the less!

 

[mini-valver]

Anyone confirm?

It's a V6 by definition but looks more like a staggered straight 6.

 

[DazG]

The 3.6 is an evolution of the 3.2 in the R32.

 

[Mark One]

i want to know what management it runs on? as i understand it, they are direct injection. normally that means that you dont have an "normal" injection pattern, you may have a few short bursts for economy or just retarded injection timing.
didnt know of any management that could handle that.

Cool conversion

 

[R20 CWH]

good conversion, the R36 passat almost got beaten by the 3,0tdi audi in a 5th gear test, its too heavy!!

 

[Ali]

STUNNIN!

 

[Brett]

Must be an absolute weapon. Doubt its running standard power though, probly putting out 400+ bhp.

 

[Christopher]

Yep.

Technically V layout... just very narrow-angle
