3.2 VR6 OEM+ intake manifold project.

[newcreation]

I wanted to find the right plastic welding stick for the right plastic you know.Gonna try a good plastic welder that can reach temps up 1000degrees.Each plastic has its own point where you are able to work it properly just can't find the numbers on the back have to look again

[need_a_VR6]

Nylon 66 with a filler is going to want some heat for sure.

So hopefully i can get it to work then

[newcreation]

ok found the proper plastic welder for specifically doing radiator end tanks and intake manifolds and i found the proper nylon rods to weld

also it is nylon pa 66 found it on the back under s sticker near the manifold part number

Hey guys.. I am nearing completion of the mods I have done to the factory manifold and should be installing/testing it soon if all goes well.

Just wanted to let you know that this thread has been passed on to the people over at Cosworth.

If anyone is capable of building a manifold to get power out of this engine, they are.

For those of you not familiar with them, look at the intake manifold they produced for the Nissan VQ35

http://www.cosworthusa.com/sto...ct=89

If anyone else is serious about making power out of this engine, NOW is the time to speak up as this is the current response I received-

We will investigate your suggestion further and get back to you. I must mention it will be difficult for me to suggest development unless I can prove the demand is there. If you can assist with that it would be greatly helpful.

[newcreation]

Dear Cosworth i am down for a manifold

[MKIVR32]

I would be interested for sure. As long as the price is reasonable like the one you linked above.

[emueller1]

ditto! long as it can be used for boost later Q

[need_a_VR6]

If the price is similar to the VQ35 one it seems like a no-brainer.

YES please !!!!!

This would be the MOD to end all MODS , YES Josh I want a Costworth intake manifold !!!!!

Good good on serching this one out BTW !!

[dubnick32]

If "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" HAHA, no seriously.

chance of Cosworth making a manifold for the incredibly small market that is the VW 3.2 = slim to none

In hopes to an answer to that, what exactly is their idea of demand, josh?

[Draxus]

I am down.

[beachball6]

a possible price point and actual data is all I need. The lower the price the better obviously

Well aware.. never hurts to ask. Worst they can say is no. Honestly, do you think they sell many to the Nissan guys either?

One way or the other I will build a new manifold for this car.. if I can have the professionals do it, we all benefit.

Already asked and waiting on a reply.. hopefully tomorrow.

[xVolksR32x]

[hammeredGLI]

dont you know the VQ motor is a way more versatile motor then our 24v. there are ALOT of different variations of the VQ you got your VQ30, VQ35, VQ37...then you got some with bigger cams then others, and some have higher compression then others also(all within the same displacement family and you can still mismatch parts. not to mention the VQ is an aluminum block). Alot more interesting then our 3.2/2.8 exchanges we have.

But still Id love to see them take a shot at this I know this would benefit turbo and NA.

I have done alot of work on VQ's n/a turbo suprcharged set-ups

[DasTeknoViking]

I came from 8 years of VQ modifying before I switched back to VAG world.

VQs not all the same... 95-99 3.0L are not the same as the later 3.5Ls and then there are variations of CVTC ones with dual CVTC and single and none. You got RevUps, you got HR and VHRs etc.

Maxima people tend to swap out the 3.0 blocks out to 3.5s and disable CVTCs. When it comes to NA VQ power, Maxima owners are the pioneers. 270FWHP from stock internals stock CR VQ30DE-K.

Our stock intake is similar to that of the 00-01 VQ30DE-K with its dual stage runner and resonance chamber. I'm trying to find pictures of the intake to show ya how it works.

i'm down as long as its not an crazy out the ball park price

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

I know someone here in Michigan who has worked with the local Cosworth shop, don't know if that is relevant info.

If they come out with an intake that absolutely makes more power I am down!

Have you posted over at R32oc?

[cmw2738]

I would very interested as well.

[yellow bunny]

Interested in the intake (as long as it will work in the MKV generation R32).

[DasTeknoViking]

Put me down, will motivate me enough to install a stock pile of parts I have laying around that require putting the front end into service position.

[nkgneto]

I'd be interested.

[PowerDubs]

Don't forget this engine is used in the following cars-

VW R32
VW EOS
VW Touareg
VW Phaeton (overseas)
VW New Beetle RSI (overseas)
Audi A3
Audi TT
Porsche Cayenne
YES Roadster (overseas)

Of those cars, I'd say the Audi guys would be most likely to do engine mods. It's not a huge market, but it is something.

Remember your grammar. I don't think you're going to install a pile of stock parts. You're going to install a stockpile of (performance) parts.

OMG.. that was funny.

LOL thanks for cheering me up as I go on in life in a FWD R32 right now
