r32 engine question........
« on: October 06, 2010, 09:21:40 am »
What are the differences between mk4 R32 and mk5 R32 engine's?

what bhp does each one have? from what i can see the mk4 has 225bhp and the mk5 has 250bhp?? is this correct? if so why is the mk5 one quicker?

I thought the Mk4 was 240???  I did have one and I'm sure it was about that.
The Mk5 was 250 with a slightly different map and internals (cams etc)
The Mk5 0-60 could of been done with DSG?

The MKIV is ~240bhp IIRC....

Personally, I can't get over the chintsy, spangly MKV R32 grill... the MKIV is a nicer looking beast, I think anyway.  :party:

I wouldn't say so.....  The engine left NA with uprated cams, map, zorst etc, the mk4 always came out with more power and torque.  The Mk5 I'm guessing was a little heavier too.  Chassis in the Mk5 was better.

Same. Would have a MK4 R32 over a MK5 one all day long purely for looks.

I am pretty sure the actual engines are the same.
The 6463 update was because the Mk4 owners realised this and got upset.  :wink:

I would never get a car with any sort of "transplant" or new engine from a different car. Far too many variables that could go wrong! I saw this black gti with a edition 30 transplant the other day! Dodgy looking front splitter ;) hahaha
