POLL: NA MKV R32 motor or 12v/24v 2.8 Turbo??

[thestu]

Basically its going to cost me about the same if build my 32 motor to the specs i want than it would be to turbo a 12v/24v motor I have...

What do you all think??!? Not tell ing you what its going in

I would say go the R32 motor, simply because its NA power which is the same as the small turbo engine...then...you turbo the R32 motor later on! Double WIN

It is funny that you propose this idea now.

Last night i was fiddling around on Forza 4 and ended up with a supercharged 2.8L Mk1 and it hauls some serious arse!
I would go that route.

I should have thought about it before I bought it I'm feeling the R32 becaue not many people have them...but not many people have vr6t either... in aus anyway.

hmmmm they would both be hella cool for my application

I think I'd go the R32 because even though the VR's sound good it's just not the same as an R32

50/50 who does this always happen?!?!

There you go...haha the R32 motor is off chops..imagine when your turbo that!

NA R32 hands down. VR6T is the easy way out.

Easy way to get 400hp?

[ffoff]

Pretty much haha

Engine conversion + turbo is a waste of money . You'll make similar power with the 12V turboed .

You need to decide n/a or turbo and go from there !

Not experience just common knowledge.

Either way isn't tooo hard.

I already have a gearbox built that fits both applications.

I have megasquirt 3 mapped for the r32 motor. It wouldnt be too hard to tune up for the vr6 turbo.

If I went r32 route I would be spending almost 2k on cams, valves and springs. If I did the turbo I would be spending 2k on injectors, intake, manifold, turbo and a random intercooler kit.

I'm leaning towards vr6 turbo... but then again maybe I could do a decomp on the 32 and twin turbo it? Smaller turbo and a bigger one?
