I plan to change my mk3 vr6 thorttle body to corrado vr6 2.9 big thorttle body and the second plan is to change my original big heavy crank pulley to light weight crank pulley please advise me is it a good idea to do that and is it going to make my vr6 faster?Thank You.

Any reply!
-
Corrado VR6 throttle body and upper inlet manifold will give gains.
-
Lightened flywheel is a worthwhile upgrade as well.
-
Whoa, five years on and he's still going!

The throttle body on its own will give you no gains at all, but as said before, coupled with the 2.9 inlet manifold and you will gain yourself a few ponies :grin:

Yes it will.
The Corrado VR6 TB is far better than the Golf VR6 2.8 TB. I've swapped several and seen repeatable gains of 2-3 BHP...not a lot admittedly, but combined with a modified airbox and panel filter, it gives 5-6 BHP genuine.
The Corrado VR6 inlet manifold gives better throttle response too, due to it's larger internal volume.
It will give no more top end power because the port sizes are the same.

Yeah, more so than a lightened crank.
The flywheel makes a noticable difference...the crank will make no difference if you bolt it to the damn great lump of pig iron that is the standard flywheel.
The standard VR6 crank is not badly balanced as it is, so little need to mes with it.
It's perfectly fine up to 7500 RPM, and to be making power up there you will be into different cams anyway...so on a standard engine, no point in messing with it.

Has this guy been in a coma for the last 5 years or something? :shocked:
-

Wow LOL bumping your own 5 year old thread :D
-
Lets keep this thread alive people! :smiley:

Many a thanks :smiley:

CALLING MK3 VR6 FITTED WITH CORRADO VR6 2.9THORTTLE BODY AND LIGHT WEIGHT CRANK

Lol 6 years now :grin:
-
Sorry to hijack the thread but throttle body inlet manifold from the 2.9 with good filter and exhaust system and a decent remap does 200bhp sound achievable?

Nope lol the 2.9 might
-
Lol well it shouldn't be far off though?
-
Well they have 190 to start with mk3 has 174. I would say with all that you would get about 185/190. That's being generous.
-
Throw some cams in with all that and you should get 200bhp :wink:

Shrick cams at about £550 you gotta be a vr enthusiast!... and abit mental. Thankfully im both :laugh:
-
Don't forget a second hand shrick inlet is £1000 :laugh:
-

But then you will need headwork...
And a bored TB...
And higher compression.
None of which is hard...do the lot and 225+ is on the cards...and boy, will it rev!

think a decent exhaust and filter and a map will do for now! :laugh:

All of which I'm planning bit by bit :smiley: ... Although I have serious urges to go out and buy another vr engine for playing with/spares

Standard is around 10.5 kg iirc, mine went down to 5.9 which was great, and it didn't look like there was any more to take from it tbh
-
Cool so the one I have has Atleast 3kilo taken off but I'm definatly taking more off
If I can get hold of another engine then I'll probably take a few grammes of the crank if I find it's worth while
