Actually to be honest fuel consumption course its on a passat which I dunno weigh but same mpg on the w8 appose to v6 thats in our trucks now. Now I will not bee racing I will be off roading and such or whatever i feel like it just wanted any insight.


The w8 is basically to v4 smashed together, or in vw case side by side on same crankshaft. Or you can look @ it this way the w12 is 2 vr6 engings so 8 would make 4. Its basically a lil more power than a v8 but fits about the same size as a v6. I was just wonder is this a practical alternative to and ls1 instead if I was going to go that route. Yes I know the 3.5 is plent but never hurts to have more zip. I know even know if it woudl work because again in a smaller car. I think its was 275 bhp and forget torque will have to look that up somwhere.

Was just throwing something out there to get some ideas
