turbocharging Passat R36

[rays5150]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any knowledge on the availability/possibiltiy of turbo charging the Passat r36/Passat 3.6 engine?

There seems to be no places l can find in Australia that has this knowledge

I am interested in pricing and power output.

l know hgp is a german company who has packages. There price for the simplest version is $25000AUD that sounds a bit rich for me.

With the stock comp of the 3.6L motor you wouldn't be able to run anything over about 6-7psi without a rebuild to lower the comp ratio.....I had a very good look under the bonnet at the motor show with this idea in mind and there is alot of room around the headder area for a turbo setup....have you got anymore info on the HGP kit?

Try HPA Motorsports in the US.

id stay away from anyone who doesnt know what they're doing. unfortunately you'll pay a massive premium because the car hasnt been out long, the fuel system is completely electronic and its a premium car. if i was to do it i would completely stick to companies such as hpa and hgp etc etc.

Don't be soft!

I would have thought supercharging it would be the easier option!

[GoLfMan]

remember the DSG costs $15000 to replace

love ya thinking though, would be awesome!

Another option is a rotrext setup.....I found a thread on r32OC with a mob in the US are making a kit for the Mk V R32 so a retrofit onto the R36 shouldn't be too hard.....


Oh PS the link http://r32oc.com/showthread.php?t=2525

speak to Dragan frmo Inmotive.. he turbo'd his R32 a while ago, he has a few contacts that might help?

I reckon you'd be better off buying a RS6 than spending all the time and money and enduring the frustration and problems and reliability issues you'd get when super or turbocharging an R36...

Exactly, I wouldn't bother doing any mod on such a nice car. IMO, if you want something SUPER FAST. You should go for the GTR or some supercar.

For eg. Like those rex on the road, equipped with super huge exhaust, may be a CAI, chipped etc. It only makes a tiny difference. Will the car FLY with all this mods. Will they beat a Lambo?? The answer is NO. Its waste of money. Would you modify a Ferrari or Lambo if you have one? In conclusion, if you really want a super fast car, save up and go for one of those. I would rather drive it super SLOW if I have a Lambo so people could see me and my car.

Speaking of which.......has anyone read the test drive by Motor recently on the GTR? WTF....a Nissan that eats 911 Turbos for breakfast!?!?!

I'd take one of those if it wasn't for practicality issues.....not to mention the inflated risk of getting a gun pointed in my face at traffic lights lolol.

Yeah, the GT-R is a seriously quick car.

When Nissan Australia get their act together and decide which dealers are going to be GT-R dealers, Dad will be ordering one. I'll almost certainly be banned from even looking at it.

I don't know why he wants it... he's old and something like an Aston or 911 or an M3 would be better for him, rather than some boy racer supercar from Japan.

How old is old? I'm "old" and I'd get a kick out of owning a car like that!
