Oh no Project Passat
Didn't see a 'project' forum, so I decided to talk about an idea for a turbo setup on V6 Passat with these specs:
our plan was to use a TD04 from a WRX cuz we find them for cheap... not looking for HP here, kinda lookin for experience (i drive a family sedan and im only 17
). Is the TD04 a decent choice for:
Engine Type: 2.8l, 6-cylinder, 30-valve, 90° V (pic)
Horsepower (SAE): 190 (142 Kw) @ 6000 RPM
Torque: 206 lbs-ft (280 Nm) @ 3200 RPM
Redline: 6500 RPM
Bore & Stroke: 3.25" x 3.40" (82.5 mm x 86.4 mm)
Displacement: 169.1 cubic inches (2771 cc)
Compression Ratio: 10.6:1
Arrangement: Front mounted, longitudinal
Cylinder Block: Cast iron
Crank Shaft: Forged steel, four main bearings
Cylinder Head: Aluminum alloy, cross flow
Valve Train: Double overhead camshaft with variable intake valve timing, spur belt driven, 5 valves per cylinder, maintenance-free hydraulic lifters
Cooling System: Water cooled, water pump, cross flow radiator, thermostatically controlled electric radiator fan
Lubrication: Rotary gear pump, oil cooler
Fuel/Air Supply: Sequential multi-point fuel injection (Motronic ME7), variable intake manifold geometry
Since its a V6, I have 2 Downpipes. We were going to put the turbo after the downpipe (i know, not the best way to get boost, but hey, not looking for HP here
) Since i only wanted to do a single turbo, we have to converge the 2 downpipes at one point.
Before i start blowing ---- up and destroying my car, would this be an ideal way to do things? Or should i leave 2 downpipes and buy 2 TD04s?

Re: Oh no Project Passat
i think you would want a bigger turbo. much bigger.
there is not alot of room in that engine bay.
isnt the oil pan hump near the front of the motor?
a singe turbo would probably be easier. if you could route the exhaust forward and mount the turbo somewhere up front that might work.
if not you would probably need a separate pump to bring the oil forward to the oil pan.

Hmm. Your right, there isnt alot of room the engine bay, which is why this will be a challenge. What turbo would anyone reccomend? If i do run that turbo what is the problems i run into?
If that guy with the V6 4mo can put a turbo in his car i sure can too
. At least i would hope.

Re: Oh no Project Passat
would stock manifolds be fine for the way i want to set it up?
What turbo would u suggest (other then a k03 or k04, they are kind of expensive and not that popular in junkyards around here)?
And if i did run a single TD04 after the downpipes converge, what would be the outcome?

Re: Oh no Project Passat
I wouldnt have to change out the stock manifolds or the stock DP? Thats what i was trying to prevent. Because almost every project i read up on here had to change the manifolds. So i figured thats what i had to do if i put the turbo there.
are you saying do 2 k03s? Cuz isnt the k03 smaller then the td04?
