I have a 2013 CC 3.6 4-motion and completely enjoy the car. Currently has 88K miles on it and have taken impeccable care of it since new. Runs like a watch. But like many, I am thinking of doing a remap tune only as gaining a wide band of 10% torque /HP increase would make this car even more fun. This combined with a upgrade to the Bilstein B6 suspension will make it a fun on the roads yet comfortable car. Any remap tune suggestions or experiences, please comment.
Great suggestion! I will add this to the production list, as you say there is not much information out there but I know a few guys who have these engines so I'll compare notes and put something together for you.

I just came across this vidoe. A year late but full of useful info. I plan to make a mk4 r32 my project car. I appreciate any help and insight on the subject before i dive in. Youve got a like and subscribe out of me 🤙
A mate was talking about using the ones for the R32 on his 24v but I don't know if he pulled it off. The 3.0 throttle bodies will also probably fit, but for both of these you are probably looking at a manifold swap to house these. Search for the C2 SRI and Bakber adapter plates for more guidance.
Does anyone got any recommendations for the best affordable turbo? I have a 1997 Jetta GLS VR6 and it’s a 2.8 . Or a smaller performance mod that I can do to add some power?
I currently own a 2017 B7 NMS Passat 1.8t with cat-less downpipe, throttle pipe, turbo discharge, and cold air intake. Along with a stage 1 tune. Been debating trading in for a VR6 just due to the engine note, and hopefully it would keep me from spending so much on mods. A coworker has a VR6 corrado with a big ole Volvo turbo pushing over 40psi, I’d imagine over 700hp

Yes I did a complete article on this very engine www.torquecars.com/volkswagen/ea390-3-6-vr6-mods.php there will be a video in due course on it. I'm trying to focus on the most requested ones first, so if more people want to see this I'll push it up the development schedule which you've just bumped up by requesting this.
@@zahimiibrahim3602 It's a lot more throaty and deeper sounding, especially when the valve opens under throttle. That's the best thing about using the Mk6 exhaust, it uses the same exhaust valve system.
Mk4 R32 Revo tumed. So much more responsive, And top speed limiter removed And verified 156 moh on the speedo before I ran out of road. 😅. In for chains and cam gear. Always replace the latter when doing the chains!!
The R32 is one of the best sounding engines out there by a country mile, and I can only imagine what this is like with an induction kit on it. Do you have or are you planning any other mods & upgrades on yours?

I have been looking to get a modest 6-7 psi gain which will be under the transmission limit as well on a B7 CC 3.6 VR6 fwd. No kits are available. TDS eng used to make S/c kits. hope to hear more from you
How many miles/km on an engine before you would consider it too old to modify? In the video there are many older vehicles so I imagine 2.8L vr6 etc are getting fairly old now. Thanks
It really depends on how well the engine has been looked after. The clutch is usually the first thing to complain, but if there is a loss of compression in the engine your money is usually best spent somewhere else. Many projects take old high mileage engine and strip them down and rebuild or recondition them to a higher spec. This can be a great way to fund a cheap upgrade project and build a car that really lasts a long time. Keep the power gains modest and you'll benefit from tuning a 100,000 mile engine.
Dubai based MK5 R32 owner - no mods so far. Getting it to a reliable 350 bhp would be the goal. Any ideas on how I should plan this would be welcomed 🙏🏼
I own a 2010 Passat R36 The only mod i did was a stainless steel custom exhaust But I made it so that al original mounting spot are used so when I sell the car the original exhaust can be put back in place The stainless steel exhaust has baffles with valves so I can ride with the family in reasonable conditions but when I’m alone I can drive like a hooligan hahahaha Valves are operated true a separate vacuum pump
The 30v 2.8L V6 is an older engine, having been an Audi A4 engine long before it was a Passat engine. I think that from reading more it doesn't belong here, it must have been pre EA390! Thanks for the heads up.
I am in the process of buying a 2002 VR6 12V. It is bone stock. I would like to do a few things to it, but I don’t want to compromise the integrity and run the sht out of it.
Remaps/ECU tunes make a big difference to power delivery but it won't give you a high headline power figure on this NA engine. Adding a turbo will make the most power but this is extremely expensive so bang for buck wouldn't count here. Personally I'd sort the exhaust and suspension, it is amazing how much this can enhance the way the car feels, then tune the engine.
Sorry I missed that off this video, I like to be quite sure of the facts and struggled with supercharges. I still want to feature supercharger upgrades separately, I found so much confusing information on the VR6 I need to sort through it and come up with a definitive strategy. It seems that a low boost setup works well on stock blocks and higher boost levels require a lower compression ratio and fuel upgrades. Do you have any tips or opinions on superchargers for this engine?
Hello im new to the vw world just recently purchased an import r36 passat wagon. Might be a silly question as im not clued up about vw but can u mate up a vr5 to the 6 speed dsg? Anyone ever done it or is it not possible

Bro , this was honestly terrible. Dont waste your time or money building the block. A simple valve grind works fine. New valve seals.
