The motor set up is a bit different from most that you have seen
here's a little run down of the motor
04' R32 block
Custom JE 89mm bore 14.1 comp
98 vr6 92mm crank
Schimmel performance rods
06' 3.6 cylinder head
welded all extra coolant and oil port to match r32 block
Full Ferrea valve train
KCR custom 3.6 downpipe
KCR custom intake manifold
Awesome, and best of luck with this new engine. Also, you should think about putting a page on your website with the previous engine details and their performance results too; a past history write up.
The 3.6 breather pulls directly from the manifold post throttle body, and there's a check valve in the breather that keeps full vacuum from pulling through there. If it's vented to atmosphere (catch can) it won't open until you have a decent amount of crank pressure opening it.
I didn't know you could put the 3.6 head on a 3.2.. I thought the different angle would make the spacing of the cylinders not work. I'm curious to see this build.
Are you 100% sure the head lines up correctly with the bores?
as said above the 3.2 bottom end is a 15 degree V and the FSI engines are 10 degree V....
FSI engine Oil pump is also in the block driven by the crank....do the feed oil ways line up from the block to head? not just the drains? You then have he problem of different length chains/guides etc
The cylinder spacing it still the same as the r32 head. The only difference is the how the combustion chamber is shaped which we had our pistons designed for. I'm 110% positive that it fits.
this lines great up.. no problem but alot of welding..why did you not go with the 3,6 bottom instead..?your cylinderwalls are very thin with a 89mm bore in the 15 degree block.
Saw these pistons in person today...they're really something :thumbup:
