yeah i agree, just with a 2.8 lump you'd expect alot more. where as your gettin under 2.0L engines nowadays that are running well over 200bhp. Technology has changed  :wink:

But i DO like the Vr6 alot :afro:

Just remember though that most if not all these 2l lumps are turbo charged...bar the civics...and that bmw's 325i produced 190bhp with its flat v6 at the time.

Twas a straight 6 24v, early ones were 172bhp, later cars 192bhp

VR6 was first released in 1992, good figures for the time.

The power at the time was considered good, early 90's hatches weren't that powerful compared to todays.

Agreed and quite easy to get to 200bhp with breathing mods.

Can some one lighten me on this please, mines standard i think but was looking for a few simple mods, can you explain any easy ones on perhaps a link to a how too /??

try searching modified airbox. porting your throttle bodie will help with some hp. 6 branch manifold and a de-cat pipe.

Corrado vr6 upper inlet manifold and throttle body and remap will see good gains.

Yes, apparently the 2.9 upper inlet manifold and throttle body is better than the 2.8.

As yours is obd1 as said go with the 2.9 inlet manifold and manifold, enclosed induction kit like a CDA or modified airbox, 6 branch manifold, decat/sports cat and either 2.25/2.5 stainless exhaust.

Top that little lot off with a remmapped chip and you'll be knocking on the door of 200bhp with similar torque.
