vr6 ?

[benvictors]

correct you cant compare a turbo s3 lump to a vr6 n/a,but turbo the vr and its a different story my money would be on the 6 pot all day long

Will be able to answer this in a month or two................ maybe

Dom, the A8 is 1700kg, its aluminium chassis so its not as heavy as people think. The transmission holds it back.
Once it gets going, it is very very fast.
The 1.8T isn't that fast, and the vr6 isn't a proper V, real V engines have more torque.

It is 15 degree from memory, amazing engine when you take one apart and see the engineering involved.

Yes it is. One cylinder head with offset cylinders.
I did the headgasket on my old vr6, quite a job

have you been in either ??   well shut up then LOL

Mine isn't standard no more. and i would say the turbo Vr would have a hard time trying to beat mine.. next year see's a bigger turbo too and 350+ BHP with LSD... 

the 1.8T engine is just so easy to get big power from...

1.8T is fast in a mk3 or a mk 2 tho, really they are, and the VR engine is  ALOT heavier than the 1.8T lump too.. the VR needs a turbo to be able to match a 1.8T powered Mk 2 or 3

However, id say you would beat a 1.8T golf 4 un mapped if you was in a VR, Bens goes really well. feels fast than the last one i went in anyhow

Would like to see bens  mk 3 VR against Doms MK4.. that would be a interesting one

Yes a 1.8T remapped in a mk3 would be fast. The 1.8T is virtually same weight as a vr when all the extra bits are added on.
All these cars would seem slow to you though now

Dom would defo smoke me 0-60, 3rd is just soooooo looooong in the VR tho mite just catch him up.
I went up against a Zafira VXR a few weeks ago, 1st an 2nd he was pulling away but once I was in 3rd i was getting closer to his bumper, I saw him drop into 4th an I still had plenty in 3rd

Lol yea I know what u mean. It's surreal just how good the performance on mine is compared to the old 8v lump. Tbh I like VR turbo but I just loved the S3 engine too much and had my heart set on it.

I looked into the weights after we last talked about it. I put a threa up on club Gti forum and it was found the VR lump was almost twice the weight of the 1.8t

I'm gonna be honest tho, since we did bens the VR6 engine has grown on me a lot. But I'm deffo a 1.8t guy

VR FTW
