3.2 vr6 swap from Touareg into a 2004 GTI VR6.

Talking about few things that need to be changed for the Touareg engine to fit into vw gti 3.2 swap. Oil pump, keeping the big oil heat exchanger and Touareg fuel rail and injectors. Lower timing cover modified.

Hey Serg are you a full service mech’ or just building special projects?

[@sergesvz]

This is my project on cheap. I did do full service at used car dealership for 8 years.

[@newground1341]

Very cool keep it up you got som’em good. Only present yourself making right decisions, minor mistakes or edit. Good luck

[@ronnymedina1523]

Did you use the oil rad From the Touareg With the new pump?

[@sergesvz]

Yes I used the big Touareg oil heat exchanger. It's bigger but I got it to fit.

[@ronnymedina1523]

Did you get to use the crank pulley from the Touareg Or you use 2.8 ?

[@sergesvz]

2.8

[@ronnymedina1523]

Ok .And do you remember the torque spec for the bolt?

[@drkangel1134]

Did you have to make modifications to the head for transverse mounting?

[@sergesvz]

No you don't. It's the same head. Some difference in valve covers but it depends what engine code you have. Early 3.2 or later generation. Mine came from 2004 Touareg.

@@sergesvz I was just talked out of using a 3.2 from a Touareg because it wasn’t transverse mounted.

[@sergesvz]

@@drkangel1134 sorry to hear that. It fits no problem

[@drkangel1134]

@@sergesvz that’s good news because those selling them out of a R32 up the price because it’s from an R32.
It has to be from a 2004 only?

Do you get to use the Touareg fuel rail ?

[@sergesvz]

Yes I did with an aftermarket fuel regulator.

What ECU did you use to run the engine?

[@sergesvz]

So right now it runs on stock 2.8 ecu no codes but runs rich and doesn't go to closed loop. I'm trying to figure out how to tune it or go with UM swap tune.

[@stefanbennett3666]

How did this turnout?

[@sergesvz]

Hi. It ran good in the summer and something happened in the winter. I lost oil pressure. I will be making a video update of what's going on.
