R32 motor swap into Bora V6

[Shane]

If i had the spare cash id do it in a heartbeat myself,the main selling point for me is i plan to supercharge anyway,there is a hell of a difference between a stage 1 charger on the 2.8 (around 280) to a stage one on the 3.2 (around 320 or 330) plus the fact that the bora is a good bit lighter equals fun city.

Plus some people prefer the understated sleeper look of the bora over the more in your face R32 styling.

I ended up buying a 2.8 VR6 24valve......only because i couldnt find a R32 motor. I would still prefer a R but my project only weighs 650 ,700kgs.
I agree with Treza...bigger motor bigger brakes and 30 odd hps more is alot.

I still have that spare race engine here which was offered to you so you cant say there is no R32 engines in Aus . It was dynoed at 297 hp on an engine dyno in Germany and its going for $8k as a long motor .

I have always wondered, long motor = ???

[peedman]

im pretty sure long motor = motor with no ancillaries i,e, no manifolds, alt, a/c etc etc.

short motor = block with no head and no ancillaries

Correct

[dubbed]

297 horsepower from the 3.2 is very nice indeed. But at $8k, ouch! What has been done to it?

[qsilverza]

Why the terms long motor/Short motor ?

[Golf Houso]

As Pedro said:

You can add or remove a few items from either definition but that's basically it, oh and 8k is reasonable for that engine considering it was a racecar motor and has had work done to it...

[qsilverza]

I did see that Pedro had posted the info, but was inquiring as to the origins of the name or the connection's to long/short

[Shteifen]

because a short motor is just that, its shorter than the long motor cos it doesnt have the head, its basically just the block and internals.
the long motor has the head still on it so its much longer.
thats my understanding of it
