What is the max bhp for VR6 2.8 with bolt on stuff?Without Turbo or Supercharge!

The wrong cams may actually reduce power!

I want my vr6 to stay NA. overtime I am buying parts. lightened crank (forged if possible) light rods, high comp pistons. I want to bore it as much as possible. 3.0? lots of head work porting etc. wild cams, good springs, titanium followers, jenvey itb's. slightly bigger injectors, good fuel pump, standalone ecu and a good map. 6 branch manifold and decat, custom decat back. maybe NOS and a lsd and some 6 pot brakes 


Then things like oil cooler and pro alloy radiator etc. (my mate works at pro  )

I guess you'd need all the help you can get moving that heavy mk3 about

256 or 262 cams are fine on a VR, anything wilder can hurt power or torque.

My old MK2 2.0 16V made 120bhp and 92ft lb with some silly cams that the monkeys at TSR fitted. Twats

I have done so much to my vr6 but on 0 to 60mhp time still can't beat the standard vw golf mk5 gti(197bhp)

[tweed]

Can't have done that much then 

they weight more for a start.

The MK5 is less than 0.5 secs quicker to 60 than a standard VR so you either haven't done much to improve the power or you have increased the power and are a crap driver.

i had a VR and didnt find it fast either... they sound good but too heavy.. id put money on a standard mk5 GTI wooping your ass all day long unless you have a charger or turbo...
