Potential to Supercharge my Bora 4Motion

[Speed]

I like the idea of the super charger but being.. well.. a compulsive modifyer, I'd probably go the turbo.
Good luck with your decision.

i've got a vf stage 2 kit on my bora and i'm in melbourne, you are welcome to pm me and come for a drive. Last i heard there were little or no vortech v9f's left and vortech had stopped making them. Recommend you budget the extra money and get capa to do the oil drain back mod on it as well (Centrifugal Air Pumps Australia (CAPA Performance)).
Had the car since new still has the original clutch and handles the extra power ok (well so far anyway)
The power is good although I'm not sure its what they quoted (about 229kw) I haven't dyno'ed it yet, you might get 200kw but I'd do cams and consider head spacer and maybe some head work. Ultimatley I got sick of all these frigging mums in subaru foresters and x5's dragging me off inlcuding my wife and it certainly has fixed that problem, so in the end it met my need. shaves a couple of seconds off to 100 but even faster noticeable acceleration overtaking 100+ and 2nd 3rd and 4th (not that i'd know), power is good and yes feels like a v8 and no not some commondore, whines a bit but i'm married so i'm used to that

I considered a turbo but went what i thought at the time was a conservative option, but experience tells me now no FI upgrades aren't without their issues. At the time I felt it was the least intrusive on the car but not so sure about that. If I had my time again I'd buy a complete engine with some sort of FI probably turbo straight out of the US with all the intake exhaust cylinder head and ecu done and do a straight swap over and then sell your old engine still very hard to come by and wreckers want $3k for them here, probably be better off and think of all the screwing around you'd save

Speak to Lucas @ eurospeed he did mine, he's your man, he knows the gotcha's

So maybe a crate engine option already FI'd and tested, either from a reputable build house or already done.

I'm thinking Storm Dev in the UK or even CNC Head in the US?

Hadn’t seen this interesting reading so what would you recommend?

CNC are in the uk and only do engines as far as i know, try 034 motorsport hpa etc. i'd win a nama award though (not a mechanics a/hole) and just cant be bothered with all the hassles and so many unknown costs, its worth exploring first and should mean your car is off the road for less and you have less integration headaches; well thats the theory


check out this beastie one of my favourites, R32 engine with turbo:

VWVortex.com - .:R32 Jetta?!

My wife purchased the car from UGVW, who performed the flawless R32 conversion. Then with the help of a couple friends the car received KW v3 coilovers, BBS RE wheels, Brembo bbk's front and rear, H&R rear sway bar, and lower adjustable control arms. The car then went to Streetwerke for a GT480 turbo install and bHPP Haldex box. After Dubwars the car made its way back to New Mexico where it got some new body pieces including a front bumper made from the lower section of an R32 bumper and the upper section of a Jetta (looks like a Bora R bumper with a rub strip) and oem euro R32 4 door side skirts. A custom 3" exhaust was also installed. Just recently Ground Control camber plates and Ohlins rear struts were installed along with upper front and rear strut bars to make the car a bit more track worthy.

Though the car is not technically for sale, everything has a price. Feel free to have your dad IM an offer

I really like the door accessory.

[vwsport]

or if you want 200+kw you can just NA with a 3.6

Pretty sure that thing is being turbo'd now too?

[Speed]

3.6 would be pretty sweet!

[vwsport]

insane anyone turbo'ed an r36 here?

I know of one guy with it in the pipeline for his Mrs' R36. He has an S/C UG MkV R32.

Should be a HGP kit....

Checked VF website no stock of VW Golf/Bora Mk4 4Motion Kit

[Mr. JLT]

There are a few turboed R36 at home.. ALso there are a few 2nd hand VF S/c kits for sale on vortex. Save your self some money and get UM or C2 software

From a cost perspective seems to be a good way to go, get a second hand kit, send the s/c off to capa and get them to service and it and do the oil drain back mod and then go to these guys:
DriverSportInc » Home
get an extra 70hp and then C2 software included

VWVortex.com - This little one and its numbers 300HP at the wheels on a VR6 24V Golf

Heres what happens without the oil drain back mod



by the way thanks Mr JLT for those links! led me to drivesport and they look like the above upgrade might fix some of my boost and tuning issues, replaces the currently pulley with a smaller pulley to get boost up to 8psi new injectors and tune to solve the current running lean issue and get rid of all the friggin errors

can anyone who can reflash your ecu do a C2 flash?
