-
Sell the piece of sh!t and enjoy the thrum of the 6 :grin: Or sell both and buy a v6 4motion or a v5..
-
hi thanks the v5 is just as _hit as the turbo :drool:
-
remap the turbo and keep that, VR6 is too heavy and not so fast....for the size of its lump

Keep the vr and with the money you get from the sale of the mk4, cam and remap the beast. Should see you to about 210 bhp and similar torque.

Keep the mk4 remap it and leave VR's in the weeds haha

With a remap on a mk4 you only get 190-200 bhp so not exactly in the weeds eh...? Think it depends on the engine code in the mk4 and which tubby it has.
Or you could always supercharge your vr for about £2000 and pass mk4's like they are going backwards.

my money would be on a 20vt, spend 2k on one of those and it would deffo be a hell of alot faster than a VR, they are Heavvvvyyyyyyy up front... :evil:

Not noise wise though..

SELL MK4 AND USE MONEY TO SUPERCHARGE THE VR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a mint SCVR6 is the sh1t, and kick out some serious power!!
i would say turbo the vr, but you would really need to rip off the guy buying the mk4!!
LL ;)
-
Theres not alot that will keep up with a blown vr :smiley:
-
yeah youtube VR6T wow, some of them kicking out 500bhp+ beats lambo's, etc mmmmmmmmmmm
sorry to get off the subject even more, but seen the mk1 golf hayabusa - best golf ive seen!!!! the hr engineering one. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want it so badly
Ok but realistically, you would be looking at, what, 300bhp from VR6T?
m8 my local dub forum has r32 and for a full professional turbo conversion was £10000. but then it would be kicking out some serious bhp and would decimate all!
VR6 ftw m8, just sell the mk4 to tune the vr. On the same local forum, another guy had a supercharged vr and it was lush, not sure on bhp, but was very quick!! seen it at shows, etc too :cool: mint
LL ;)

yeah but lazy, theirs 200bhp swift gtis on you tube dusting porsche turbos and lambos......no biggie its common place for the swift to do this with its 1.3 lump
VR6 or a 20vt lump for the golf.......Hmmmmm 20vt engine all the way for me baby :laugh:
-
You sure the 1.8T is running as it should her indoors has one and its sure not flat doesn`t have the balls out grunt of my VR but it is a cracking lump not been messed with so would imagine a tuned 20v T is a good bit of fun.Had one of those Swift GTi`s about 10yrs ago now that thing was very suprising for a 1.3 awesome little thing that was. :smiley:
-
I would say keep the VR and spend the money that you get from the 18t on tuning it. But thats my opinion... and im not a mk4 man! :grin:
-
Only if they made the 1.8t in a mk3 then we wouldnt have this dilemma!!
Tbh from the figures guys have been putting on here about what mpg they get outta there vr's then the 1.8t is more economical even with a remap?? shame it has the Mk4 shell round it!! :lipsrsealed: but if fuel isnt an issue keep ur mk3, maybe worth putting a 1.8t into the mk3??? people have done conversions fairly cheaply :wink:
-
vr6 v 1.8t is like chalk and cheese!! the vr is a better engine for crusing and low down grunt (and sound :evil:), but the 1.8t is more lively when the turbo is spinning (and more tuneable) I would have a word with r-tec on here and see what they can do with the mk4 before deciding....
-
f**k it just keep both...
-
Sell the vr lump.. spend the money you get from that on sorting the 1.8t and then drop the 1.8t in the mk3 - problem solved! :laugh:
-
f**k it just keep both...
Yeh thats the spirit.....and while your at it remap the 1.8t and supercharge the vr.... :evil:
-
as above :wink: :cool: :cool:
-
sell both, get a Mk4 TDI and chip it.............
My old 130hp TDi Passat (chipped) would spin the wheels in any gear when wet, great fun :grin:
