Aug 11, 2012 · Looking at North-South mounted VR6 for RWD swap. (Yes, I know they are heavy, etc.) Did some Web searching, found lot's of chatter, not much meat. The tranny seems to be the sticking point. One guy had mated a Toyota W gearbox (with some bellhousing surgery), but the ACVW guys chased him away.

Feb 22, 2016 · Burrito wrote: SubaruGears announced last week that they're making an adapter for VR6 to 1990-on 5 speed Subaru gearboxes. So now you can build an AWD turbo VR6 whatchahoozit without having to source some Euro-market only exceedingly rare Touareg transmission. Or just get the Touareg adapter for the Audi trans and use the bulletproof Audi 01E.

Mar 22, 2011 · VR6 does not share a bolt pattern with anything else. There are three (at least) flavors of VWAG bolt pattern, there's four-cylinder, there's 5/6/8 cylinder, and then there's VR6. Longitudinal transmissions made after about 1990 (specifically, the 01A, 01E, and newer) have the 4 and 5/6/8 pattern.

Jan 24, 2019 · For some engines, like the 2.8/3.1, they cast RWD (right side starter) and FWD (left side starter) engine blocks. For other engines, like the 3800 and the 2.2l, they only made FWD blocks, and made special trans cases for rear drive use. And for still others, they cast completely different bolt patterns for FWD or RWD.

Dec 10, 2016 · Starting with the 01A and 01E transmissions, longitudinal VWAG transmissions are dual bolt pattern, they can take a four or a six (or eight). That is why they have a bazillion mounting points. I haven't seen an Audi-engined Touareg to see if they bothered to make the RWD transmissions dual bolt pattern as well.

Oct 3, 2011 · www.034motorsports.com sells an adapter for the VR6 to the I5 bell housing pattern. The Audi 2.8, 3.0, 2.7, 3.2 are essentially the same as the v8. They are wider angle v6's than the vr6 and the bell housing pattern is different. The 4.2 and v6 share bellhosuings with the I5 from what I can tell.

Nov 24, 2019 · So, in general too much pre-load and coast locking act similarly to RWD. More pre-load and lower angles (more locking) lead to understeer for FWD and RWD. Acceleration ramp angle is opposite in that too much locking while accelerating leads to FWD understeer but RWD oversteer. RWD understeer. Nothing understeers like a rear driver with a spool.

Mar 11, 2009 · Not his, personally (customer/club memeber car), but considering he owns a German car repair shop and recently completed a VR6 Fiero swap, a TDI swap shouldn't be difficult for him. Through the VR6 swap, he has already figured out much of …

Ian F wrote: A VR6 with a non-VW ECU is definitely an interesting idea... I think the crappy part will be finding the RWD transmission - early 924, IIRC? I agree, very interesting. Sounds like it is really a 15deg v6, I always thought the VR6 was a 60 deg V6 or something. the more you know...
