RE: 96 audi engine build suggestions
I don't mean to be a wrench in the wheel but whats the difference between the v6 and the vr6? Both are audi engines? I'm assuming your talking about the 12valve v6 and the 30v vr6?

vr6 motor is a very narrow 12v v6 - as chaos said it's nearly an inline setup. because of this, and the fact it will mount longitudinally inside an a4, you get tons of room on the sides for a large large turbo. the nice thing with the vr6 motor as well is they were very common. find a wrecked passat, and chances are you'll find a vr6. because of this, you can get one for $250 complete, and build a monster out of it.
they are becoming more common, but dynos on these things are 600+hp. if you buy a shell car or high mileage car for say 2gs, and the spend 9gs on the swap, you have a MONSTER for around $11k. an absolute monster.

the vr6 and b5 v6 are both 2.8l but thats about the only similarity. the v6 comes in 12v and 30v, and the vr6 comes in 12v and 24v. the 12v vr6 has one camshaft, while the 24v has 2.
if you want over 1000hp, a 24v vr6 and gt40 could get the job done

I think I might need to start looking for a used VR6 for fun then because if I can find a decent one for that price, I might be tempted to buy it and slowly build it up while in school and then finish it up as a grad present to myself maybe. hmmmmm, ideas, ideas, now you got me thinking

RE: 96 audi engine build suggestions
tell me about it. I'm going to start shopping here in a few weeks. the way i see it is once my 12v finally eats it, it'd have about 80% of the part together for the swap. if the 12v doesn't eat it and i have everything together then i swap it. i just HAVE to do something since I've had my motor out once. i feel like I teased by putting a 12v back INTO an a4.
and chaos, yeah i did quite a bit of reading on the vr6. more from a builder standpoint. i'm about a qweek out from calling 034 and seeing their opinion on my build thoughts.

RE: 96 audi engine build suggestions
do it, then let me drive it, then let me use your garage and your knowledge to maybe put one together for me(probably wishful thinking, since this is my DD).
Well at least do it for your self and let me drive it
but seriously, I can't wait till next year when my car is up with me in C-bus, then we'll get some meets going.
