850-r!!
« Reply #10 on: 19 May 2003, 01:01 »
sorry lads snd lasses ive got avolvo 850-r with a boost cont running 12psi and i ran neck a neck with geoffs car, i would recommend the supercharger without a doubt my next step is an engine rebuild + rechip which means lots of money, in the long run vr6 drivers stick with supercharging!
if you want to speek 2 woody about our cars, visit him at woody_gp800@hotmail.com (i dont want a fight, but i like fast cars and jetskis) awsome!!!! (my jetski is faster than all your cars put together ha ha ha, 400 bhp per tonne) yamaha gp 800 r. 0-60 faster than a fireblade if that makes sense. any doubts contact my address as stated above.

i gave my user name and password 2 my mate and he posted the above message! if you doubt how fast a volvo is, race one at your own risk!!!!
i did, and found out that his car is an animal. without the supercharger, cos of his boost controller i wouldnt have stood a chance, got my car sideways, much to his amusement, (tosser) he has now converted his volvo back to standard, fearing he might blow his cylinder head, ha ha ha.

woody is 30 years old, and he would race anyone in his volvo. make no mistake, it might be a volvo estate but he still has 250 bhp at the wheels and his car is probably lighter than a vr6. if you think thats got some power take a look at the audi a6 estate, 340 hp and 186 mph you will lose!!!!!!!!!!! i love my golf but certain estate cars will rip the piss out of you, even if the driver is wearing a cardigan and has no street cred.
your choice but i avoid them coz i lose.
bring on pulsar gtir's and the such like coz thier fancy hair and gucci clothes dont make their cars any faster, if you see what i mean,

Sorry dude Maybe Ive got your mate all wrong but volvo estates, Jet ski s and the fastest road racer (fire blade) shouldnt be in the same sentance it just seems wrong some how (chalk and cheese) so to speak.
Anyway have you any 0-60 times with the supercharger or has it just got loaded top end..I also WANT for more power..... stuff the street cred.. It would be nice to have both but on my salary its just not possible.For example Stuff Vr6 bring on 911 Sorry Ive Just left earth......Estate cars eh.........mmmmm interesting well would you believe it. Well as most estate cars that ive screamed past were over loaded with Maths books and boxes of files etc....Ill tell you what, May be there dub tuning experts sort of under cover like; some mad euro thing thats not quite caught on yet.Im not quite sure what suspension set up there all using but it seems very low.

Trebor ?

Have you looked at prices for chargers?

Another really good mod, more for acceleration and handling rather than speed is a limited slip diff... works out about ?1000 ish all in. (BedRockVW in Scotland).

You're right about cam's making it rougher at idle, but they are a way of going quicker and that was what you said you wanted.

You could go out and buy a Schrick inlet manifold... as far as I'm aware they give around about 5% extra bhp (that'll be 10hp then) but much more importantly they give some more low down torque. They are hugely expensive though... but something to think about.

Turbo... "ch-ching" says the credit card! Dubsport near Manchester will fit one for around about ?3500... that'll give you around 250bhp... slap an extra ?1000 on top of that and you'll have approx 320bhp (that's on a standard engine!).

Superchargers... still expensive, but suposedly a little less likely to cause your engine to blow up. The best is the Vortech (they've stopped selling z-engineering units... think that's all that really needs to be said!) stage1 should be around 240... stage 3 about 310. MidlandVW in Cannock will sort you out with a fitted stage1 charger for ?2600 (?300 cheaper than Stealth).

So there you go... the options I'd look at if I was doing my VR over again. There are obviously other things you can look at but those are the ones I know about you could also take a look at the engine section of the club GTi uk forum...

Good luck, take care (don't get a beemer - mate!) ;-)

thanks go to you greg cos after having the super charger fitted and realising how much fun it is annoying audi tt's, scoobys, the list is endless, ha ha ha. ive been saving up for a turbo conversion and never gave dubsport a thought, i will now though. i e-mailed stealth for a quote but they didn't answer so i guess they lost a sale there.
thanks for the idea.
one thing im sure you will agree on is that forced induction on a vr6 is ace, i haven't stopped smiling in the 14 months that its been fitted.

oh ps, i thought the schrick manifold is far to expensive in terms of bhp per quid. so i cut my losses and went for the supercharger.
