    Tim's 3 Door VR6 Turbo Build

    So as my VR6 got written off (which was the original project for the turbo) I now have myself a 3 door ready for the turbo treatment.

    My old VR6:



    The new car is a 1995 MK3 Golf which has already had the VR6 subframe and wide track installed.

    Here it is as I found it under a tree in a backyard:



    As it sits now:




    The modification list (running list) is as follows:

    Engine:

    *ARP Rod Bolts
    *ARP Head Studs
    *9:1 Decompression Plate
    *Garrett GT3076R (0.60A/R)
    *ATP Exhaust Manifold
    *Tial MV-S 38mm V-band
    *Turbosmart Dual Port 38mm BOV
    *Haltech PS2000
    *Haltech Boost Solenoid
    *Mig Fab Short Runner Intake
    *MSD Blaster Ignition Coils
    *Top Gun 10mm ignition leads
    *Frozenboost AWIC system
    *A/C delete

    Drivetrain:

    *Rebuilt 02A 5 Speed with Peloquin LSD plus ARP differential bolts
    *Clutch Net Stage 4 six puck clutch and pressure plate
    *DSS Level 3 500HP axles
    *DSS billet hubs w/ARP wheel studs
    *APTuning pinion brace

    Fueling:

    *Xspurt 1000cc flow matched injectors
    *Twin Bosch 044 fuel pumps
    *Aftermarket Industries 2L surge tank
    *Walbro 255LPH lifter pump
    *Turbosmart FPR-1200
    *Haltech Flex Fuel Sensor

    With the help of a friend the engine was built earlier this week. The sump will be attached once the fittings for the oil return arrive.



    I also installed some colour coded door handles as I had some laying around:

    So mad. Good you've kept onto this.

    I was looking at getting that mk3. The price and no rego were it's detriment to me. Hope it's all well!

    Also, will you squeeze that turbo in on that manifold?

    Thanks mate it is a great base to start with it is really clean and rust/dent free.

    As for the manifold/turbo fitting it will be close to the firewall but won't hit. If I went for a GT40 or similar it would have been an issue.

    Yeah fair enough. Standard intake manifold? What rear housing? 3" exhaust?

    No a short runner intake manifold (Mig Fab). The turbine housing is 0.63A/R. Not sure on the exhaust/downpipe size but it will be around 3" or 3.5" most likely.

    And thanks mate, 300kW is the minimum power figure I want so it could well be more but we'll keep it low to start.
