The VR6 Engine

[jafo]

Hi just wondering has anyone ever done or attempted to put the vr6 24v head on the 12v (aaa code). Is this possible? I take it the injectors would be different so the wiring may need to be changed but does it physically fit? As the vr6 24v engine has a standard bhp of 304! More than the 12v
Thanks

307BHP???  Thought it was 174? 

I heard they do fit a while back, but i get the feeling the waterways were slightly diffrent?  Or somthing like that im not 100% sure

Yea the 12v has a standard of 174 although i think the coil pack engine (obd2) has slightly more. Not sure how right this is?
And the 24v has 304 bhp i think, Well if the waterways are situated different then i take it there is no way!
Thanks anyway

24v has 205 bhp or there abouts.

    Not a chance.

r32 only has 250 so 300 is a bit to much

My 8v gti has 500bhp. Rolled it on my drive on a trolley jack, got the figures from my ball of string and pencil.

hey everyone, thats me typing too quick and not thinking to the same speed i meant 204 bhp, not 304. So does anyone know if this has been done?

no point mate just get the 24v engine ,has been done but for the money it costs engine is cheaper

Why build something you can buy?

Well unless it's something like a lambo or something you want, in which case, building it might be cheaper, but not by much.
