Hi All,
I used to own a mk3 golf GTi 8v which was enjoyable i know own a Ibiza Cupra R 1.8t but debating getting a Vr6 but don't Wanna lose the speed i have 210bhp in the Ibiza was just wondering what sort of good power upgrades there is.
Thanks
-
depends how much cash you wona spend.
make it a VR6 turbo and destroy all :grin:
-
The VR will be no-where near as tunable as your Ibiza, without supercharging or turboing it there aren't many gains to be had.
-
a dom said super charge or turbo and awsome but other than that not much you can do :grin:
-
Put your Cupra lump ina mk3 :afro:
-
I would keep the Ibiza.
But if you like the shape of the mk3 golf then buy a cheap gti and put your lump in it, then break your car up.
As many have said already not many gains to be had unless you throw loads if money at it. You would get more gains with the same amount of money from your 1.8t
Turbo the vr though.... Well that's just insane power!
-
Buy a VR then sell the Ibiza and use the cash to make an insane turboed VR :evil:
-
Lets face it, everyone wants a turbo VR right up to the point where they do the math.
-
Haha it will be 2 of the best sounds a vr with a blower I had a a Gti miss the shape and the handling just with a 60mm shocks and springs and strut braces handled so well for a big car take it the mpg isn't that good with a vr either I've seen a turbo vr before and through 1st 2nd 3rd it just span up but come 4th it was gone alot of money though how hard is the 20vt to do in a mk3 I could sell mine and find a mk4 golf braking and use pretty much most things off that if there the same platform

I don't have that money let alone the running costs covered lol how many miles to a tank do you get and how much does it cost in your vr
-
I don't own one bud although i would like to, there are many Vr owners who can advise you here and for the cost of a 1.8T look out for F17BAD or lowlifedubber for inspiration.
-
I use mine daily and do about 200 miles Mon-Fri, cost £40 - £50 quid
-
thats not that bad my ibiza does 320ish miles to tank of v-power costs £65 to fill up but as soon as it's boosting it's doing 5.2mpg and does roughly 28 round town and 37 on the motorway
