Where the F are all the thread for the 3.2?

[1point8teeNW]

See title.

[jimmya4]

if you want to go fast without spending alot of money, you buy a 2.0 its just how it is. if you have that type of attitude, you go onto forums and make threads finding out how to do it. on top of that there is just way more 2.0's out there over 3.2's

[Turn10]

boooo dont bring that in here 2.0T all the way

[Tru NY Player]

i didnt think anybody bought 3.2z..lol
we're hiding the posts from you especiales...

[MOFSTEEL]

Would the 3.2 be more reliable than the 2.0t?
Im thinking of picking up a commuter car that I will have no need to modify.

[Larry]

I have a 3.2 and yes they are way better than the whine from a 2.0, More horse power and run smoother as well as well.

[Audi Juice]

Beat is 3.2 boys! SCRAM!!!

[p1nk50ck]

... car that I will have no need to modify.

umm... that's not in my vocabulary

[1point8teeNW]

Ok. To all of you who felt as though you needed to tell me the 2.0T is more easily modified. I already know that.... So. Why don't you beat it? mmmk? Anyways. I was just curious as to whether or not there were any threads maybe stating any common issues with the 3.2. I for one am so over modding Audi's. My buddy has a 08' Ti S-Line 2.0TQM6 and although a nice car, I'd rather have the V-6. I don't have the cash to go dropping in a new turbo, chip, exhaust, etc etc, but I do however have the cash to afford the 3.2 and with that comes the fact I won't waste money modding it. Capeesh?

What whine are you talking about? My car doesn't whine and it's pretty damn smooth...not to mention for the same price (mods and OEM packages included) I will burn a 3.2 to the ground.

[CONTROL TWO]

i love my 3.2 and regularly get compliments on the exhaust note from 1.8 and 2.0 drivers

[{PMS}fishy]

See title.

There really aren't any. Not too much you can do to the 3.2 to get more power out of it without breaking your wallet.

All the rest of the mods are pretty much the same.

[Audi.Quattro3.2]

I can see where this thread is going. Who has a bigger dick contest.

[Malamute]

Search is your friend. If you can't find it there then I guess they don't exist. I'm not hatin' on the 3.2 but why not search?

Google may lead you to another forum as well.

[superman06]

Hey everyone...I love my 3.2..the power I get from it is great...no complaints. Personally I just picked it for the bigger engine and I am not into mods...just in it for the nice ride and the sound when on the road is amazing...no need for the radio....I would not mind a 2.0 either but everyone has it and I like different.

OK.....you're on a forum full of car modders........saying you're "so over modding Audis".....

[1point8teeNW]

This forum is indeed full of car modders, but who better to ask when I wanna know about a certain engine made by the same company who makes the engine you all love to mod? Honesly dickhead, go crawl back under your rock.

Anyways, back to the grown ups talking.

Yes, because I live under a rock and you are obviously a grown-up.

My point is, you come in here bashing people for answering your question correctly, whilst at the same time answering it yourself. You would rather have a V6, you don't wanna drop the money to overhaul the whole engine/boost system, and you DO have the cash for a 3.2. So go for it.

The majority of B7's ARE 2.0Ts for the reasons stated above, as well; more of them are made/sold, and that platform attracts most of the modding crowd. Combine that with the fact you're on a mod-junky forum, and I don't blame you for having the perception that most B7 A4's out there are 2.0T.

The only thing it sounds like you are curious about is the reliability of a 3.2 vs a 2.0T, in which case you should've just asked that. Instead, you made a thread that, indeed, sucks.

I'm just stating what everyone else is most likely thinking, pal.

[p1nk50ck]

I for one am so over modding Audi's.

and i for one, am so over this damn cape!
- liberace

[06B7audiA4]

3.2 Does sound good as any VR6 engine I feel does with a quality exhuast.
Whine from the 2.0T, i dont get, I LOOVE the sound of a turbo and wouldnt want anything else, 2nd turbo car for me, they keep getting better and better.
I do feel however, yes the 2.0T might need a lil more maintainance than the 2.0T BUT 3.2 is way harder and rare to mod. Goodluck in the future...

PS. If you let people get under your skin on the ZINE, then you should just erase your name and login now...We all learn to excepts the so called "dicks" but people sometimes just like to see reactions..

As for threads, I havernt seen any, and barely look.
20T ALL THE WAY, my opinion I like it alot better than my 18t

[Tru NY Player]

ha ha..
second thread fail this week..

it also has a smother idle, and a N/A engine will last longer than a turbo

[Grishbok]

dont be hating because our two liters are better and fit snug in a plastic bottle.

its a big 2.0 liter huh?

[p1nk50ck]

a N/A engine will last longer than a turbo

orly?

care to share any other fairy tales with us?

[elwigglero]

it's an enthusiast forum. 3.2 liter a4 isn't really a car for enthusiasts. Any car head would absolutely go for the lighter, better handling version of the line with more potential for power.

Not to say the 3.2 isn't a nice car...It's just an engine that costs more, makes the car that much more nose heavy, and isn't at all tunable.

[Subaru71]

I thought the 3.2 was one of the more problematic engines in the lineup?

[Audi007]

I thought the 3.2 was one of the more problematic engines in the lineup?

no!

it's the same engine as in the B8 a4, a5, tt, a6, a8 (europe), and the q5

i don't like to race, i like to drive

[Maverick]

OP, if you want to do something with the 3.2, you better be ready to shell out at least $25K!!!
4 bangers sounds like crap especially when you are pushing a lot of power, but power is power!!!
anyway, find a machine shop that will build you a 3.2 engine top and bottom end. have the cylinder walls coated, put in nice pistons(JE or Supertech) and rods(Scat or Pauter, Pauter for bigger power, Scat rods are entry level rods but still do their job).
I think the B5 RS4 flywheel will work on the 3.2 but then you still need to find a clutch then pm Mike Hood.
after this, take it to a shop that is willing to do the R&D on a single turbo setup, say drop a GT35R twin scroll and all the supporting mods. this is where money will go like crazy. since no one has done it and you are the first, you will spend more because most works are custom. B5 S4 guys can run a single turbo setup then the B6 and B7 guys can run as well.

last and most important, you need a good and safe tune to run all the hardware you just spent on, without a tune, all the money you spent on hardwares are just a waste.
a custom tune from scratch will cost $500-3000 depends on the tuner and how willing are they to work on the car.
many logging sessions will be needed to run the car safe and fast while not pushing the car to the limit. once you and the tuner find that the car is solid and making very very good reliable power, you can turn up the tune even more.
so $25K may not be enough but you will have a unique beast .

i don't think anyone here wants to do what I just said because there are reasons why not to do it.

[Mezzer]

Maybe the engine isn't as moddable but certianly the rest of the car can be modded to the liking of the driver.

And... Why so much hating on us V6 guys? I mean we're car enthusiasts as much as anybody.

The reason I went with the V6 is just that I didn't want to empty my bank with all kinds of engine mods, don't get me wrong, I drool every time I read or see a thread where a 2.0T is getting a bigger turbo or DV or whatever it is and putting down insane power #'s... in fact I love it.

I personally would rather p/u an older Porsche or TT and put my modding money into that instead of modding my daily driver. Just my

I will admit though, if you do decide to do any mods you have to do alot of searching and re-serching to find what you want and what you can make fit.

[Grishbok]

i baught my 2.0 because i wanted to abide by rally rules of no more than 2.0L

[Glassnpowder98]

i baught my 2.0 because i wanted to abide by rally rules of no more than 2.0L

I thought rally rules were 2.5 because don't STI's have a 2.5 litre engine?

[Grishbok]

World Rally Championship- "The championship currently features 15 rallies and production-based 2.0 L turbocharged four-wheel drive cars built to World Rally Car regulations racing across tarmac, gravel and snow. The power output has been limited to around 300 bhp (225 kW)."

[Grishbok]

theres also the production world rally which requires 25000 of a particular car to be manufactured, then becomes eligible which i believe is the one the sti had that one good run in before they collapsed to the junkyard.

[davis449]

i don't like to race, i like to drive

Exactly, and that's why I bought the 2.0T.

[Zebman]

The STi isn't able to compete in Rally.

And the 3.2 exhaust note is amazing compared to the two liter. But yes, the car has a worse front/rear weight ratio, and is difficult to make faster. But the OP is done modding, so it doesn't matter. Maverick, while it was good intentions, you wasted a lot of your time lol

[juggernaut201]

I can see where this thread is going. Who has a bigger dick contest.

looks like i won .... lmao simply put if you wanna get a 3.2 get it ... its gunna b more on gas tho .... you can get the 2.0t underwarranty and not worry aout n e thing and chip it and smoke a 3.2 thats my 2 cents....

[rmh]

There are chips available for the 3.2L that give you 19-25 HP gains according to the mfr.

There are complete exhaust systems (headers, free flow cats, free flow mufflers, larger diameter pipes) that could get you another 10-20 HP according to the mfr.

So, if you're lucky you can take that 255 OEM HP (B4 A7 3.2L) up to 280-300 HP, which is a gain of 10-18%, if you believe the mfr numbers.

2.8L and 3.0L Audi V6s have complete bolt-in superchargers available for $5000 + installation + chipping + free flow exhaust that get 295 HP / 260 TQ and 318 HP / 267 TQ respectively, again, according to the mfr.

So perhaps in the not-too-distant future someone will come out with a bolt-on kit like these for the 3.2L that may make these 3.2s perform at or exceed the new 3.0T (290-330 HP / 310 TQ) . Since the 3.2L has only been out since, what, 2006?, it will take some time for the after market upgrades to hit the scene, if they hit the scene at all.

Take a look at www.superchargersonline.com
for some of these mods for the earlier Audi V6s.

One thing we NA drivers don't get that our turbo'd friends get is the noticeable increase in performance when it gets cold like it's been lately. Hint, cold air contains more oxygen than warm air, and the ECU only knows there's more air that it has to compensate for with an increase in fuel.

There are lots of folks that love their 3.2s, and there are lots of folks that love their 2.0s after they mod them.

MPG with my A4 from Minnesota to New Jersey and back last summer averaged just over 31MPG at 75+mph average with A/C on, and commuting around here I get over 25MPG regularly, so fuel economy isn't too shabby pairing the 3.2 with a 6MT. But there's another thread out there somewhere comparing fuel economy, so I don't want to hijack this thread with that topic.

[mksap11]

3.2 Does sound good as any VR6 engine I feel does with a quality exhuast.

Just for the record...The 3.2V6 (actually closer to 3.1L) in the B7 is not a VR6 variant.

[wayneB7]

Would the 3.2 be more reliable than the 2.0t?
Im thinking of picking up a commuter car that I will have no need to modify.

Who said one needs to modify the 2.0T? That is optional and if you are looking for a reliable commuter car then get a 2005.5+ 2.0T (if you are getting an Audi) and don't modify it if you don't want to.

Consumer Reports has good marks for the 2006-2008 2.0T, with the 2007 & 2008 being the best so far. I suspect that the 2009 is too early to rate.

The 3.2 was worse than the 2.0T for the same time period and there is also no data for the 2008+
