So My chance of find a VR6 in my city went threw he drain quickly considering the closest VR6 engine to me was Saskatchewan. So I found a DOHC,VR-6 head with a total of 4 valves per cylinder. This would be the 3.2L or 3.6 fsi engine. So I found the head I always wanted, I found a Block, but does the block matter about how many valves, or does the block just need to be VR-6 block? I'm trying to build a 3.6L vr-6... from the ground up piece by piece.. The more info I tried to look up about building an engine, and specifically the VR-6 the more and more run around confusion there was.
Here's what I know.
For the 3.6L I want I need
A) I know i need a head which includes (your rockerarms, valves, camshaft)
I know you need a block.
C) connecting rods
D) pistons
E) Crankshaft
I want the motor to have power and reliability. What type of parts should I be looking for? Obviously at some point I'll have to bore the block out to to make it from a 3.2 to a 3.6. Which is about 5mm I believe? So the head is used, has about 24,000 kms on it... Should I re-do the valves, and valve springs, etc?
If everything goes right, I'm gonna have a 3.6L turbo/super driven by the belt, cold air, stage 5 racing clutch, straight pipe, exhaust headers, chipped, etc.
I'm hoping my baby will finally go fast then... What do ya'all think?
