I saved a couple of pics of this 12v turbo setup, does anyone know anything about it? Has anyone turbo a 12v?
yah now that would be good to knowNoisy Cricket said:Later, those guys fixed an Impreza's drivetrain issues by swapping an 016 and other Audi bits in it. I still want to know how they rigged up a starter.
I know the car you're talking about and have heard the same.. the car pictured doesn't have the white engine bay thoughdeath 4kqt said:how old are those pictures? there is a blue b4 in the local junkyard that was rumored to once have a 12v turbo setup. Does not have a motor now.
ah right, that one in Ratties was nogaro sprayed over white right? You know anything more about that car?WOMBAT said:I know the car you're talking about and have heard the same.. the car pictured doesn't have the white engine bay thoughdeath 4kqt said:how old are those pictures? there is a blue b4 in the local junkyard that was rumored to once have a 12v turbo setup.

There's still a part of me that wants a clean B4 with black sport cloth... turbo is always nice. For the sake of a 12v though, I'd probably remote mount it.WOMBAT said:Not even sure it was nogaro, but yea could be. I didn't get any info other than it was a 12vt and was owned by someone in st. albans
Hey all, I post on Dubsnorth as vr6inside. You Vermont guys may recognize me. I worked on that Nogaro B4 back in my dealership days when I was in VT, and I remember it having the white bay. It wasnt turbo'd then but it had euro lights and some wacky body kit as I recall. This was around '02-'03.WOMBAT said:Not even sure it was nogaro, but yea could be.

There goes the neighborhood...edit: didnt realize this was my first post. Guess I've been lurking quite a while.
I think that Fox Wagon was a 30v V6.Noisy Cricket said:Google "Fox Kit Car" or maybe Jose Vincente or Sakis Hadjiminas.
Eurosport Manhattan built a semi-infamous VW Fox that was AWD and used a 12v with a pair of turbos (with 24mm restrictors!) and later a single turbo, and still later natural aspiration.
From what I gather, it had problems more often than it didn't, but when it was running strong, it was RUNNING STRONG.

Well there you go. Thanks for the clarification. I thought '99 passats had the 30v.Noisy Cricket said:Jose Vincente says it was a 12 valve.Lord_Verminaard said:I think that Fox Wagon was a 30v V6.
screw the ecu.Justin517 said:I remember seeing those pics in the 12v forum on AW a long time ago.
seems cool but there isnt much support for the 12v at all. if it were me I would look for a 30v (which I'm sure are getting cheap now) and use 2.7T parts and even ECU/harness wth a tune, on it.
probably wouldn't cost much more than (properly) engineering a turbo setup for the 12v and will just be a lot cleaner.
The emanage ultimate will work with basically ANY ecu on the planet. I've seen ford escorts, honda preludes, and cavelier/sunfires turbo'd with the more primitive things even primitive interceptors like the "darling" apexi AFC but they are all worthless when trying to make it work perfectly. They all suffered from drivability problems, improper or incomplete tuning, and more often then not, screaming check engine lamps.Justin517 said:cool info nate!
I wonder if you could also do a bit more primitive like I am on my M30 BMW... Begi FMU, bit bigger injectors (24s up from 19s), moates/ostrich 2.0 eprom emulator to adjust AFR targets... I'm using a real turbo mani but a rear mount would be possible.
your way is cleaner but I went with the way I have seen done more, I like the idea of emanage though, cant beat having a MAP sensor with forced induction...
You are correct, Passats and A4's both got the 30v mid-year 1998..Lord_Verminaard said:Well there you go. Thanks for the clarification. I thought '99 passats had the 30v.Noisy Cricket said:Jose Vincente says it was a 12 valve.Lord_Verminaard said:I think that Fox Wagon was a 30v V6.

Anything can be done, but I am sure there will be some compatiblity issues. I do not know if those ecus offer outputs for the manifold changeover or the correct crank timing waveform.nismo said:Nate,
I wonder how difficult it would be to fit the V6 ECM from a GM vehicle. The system allows GOBS of tuning possibilities and OBD II compliance. I'm sure a Gen 4 Camaro/Firebird setup could be pared down to pretty slim and installed without too much difficulty.
