Swapped mk3 r32 with a LSD will hit 12's. If your a good driver.
Doubt it .
My R32 which weighs 1200kg (lighter than a mk3) , runs a best of 13.3 @ 104 mph . Has traction issues off the mark as well .
Engine makes 297hp as well , over 50hp more than the stock one .
Id say high 13s to be more realistic

back to the topic is it worth doing this conversion ? If i was to go Turbo with 2.8 or r32 to get 400-600hp which one would be cheaper to get that sort of power ? remember its going to be a 1/4mile and a street at the same time
the r32 looks like it would be fun to do but pricey and plus i would have to strip and forge the internals im guessing due to it having 11.3:1 cr.
I was also thinking of boring the 2.8 to 3.0L and forging.
Am i making sense ?
If you're going to tear it down and completely rebuild it up to get it ready for a big turbo or something, id go for it If there's something seriously wrong, you could probably atleast still use some parts or maybe try and sell it again haha, worst case scenario, you could make an awesome top gear style coffee table

coffee table is a good idea haha that would be so cool to keep in my garage but yeah plans are to strip it and inspect for damage and if its in good condition ill bore it out to 3.0L and forge the internals , bigger valves ,cams to hit 5-600hp street/track driven and for engine management im thinking lugtronic.
Ive got a 2.8L 12v head thats a perfect base for a project like this, its only done 130k kms and is in good as condition if you want it ill part with it for $220 and im sure someone could take it back to melbourne from GAD next weekend if you're not coming up..
