Vr6 supercharged??

[Ess_Three]

I read that the standard vr engine is good for 300bhp, any truth in this?

Good for 300 BHP how?

N/A you'd be very lucky to get 300 BHP - even with wild cams, big valves and seriuous headwork, I think 300 BHP is out of reach...and if you could, it would be so non-standard that you could hardly call it 'standard.

Forced induction?
I guess so...with a decent IC, bigger injectors, a small pully on a VF S/charger...then I suppose 300 BHP is achievable on standard internals.

also the obd1 bottom end is stronger than the obd2 

Why?

I think he was joking...
The engine is the same. OBD doesn't even exist in the UK - it's an American thing...the stepper motor TB of the later cars and switch from coil pack to dizzy was about the only change...the hardware of the engines are the same.

imo, this does not look fast ?

My mates old VrT was running 412bhp on full boost and around 330 turned down (figures not accuate)... for around 5 years without fault. Eventually the engine went because he ignored a faulty waterpump and a piston let go. Dropped a sharan vr6 in there and ran about 380 for a good while until sold

Many insane and loads of unusable and wasted power

US engines are different...their gearboxes too.
Aren't UK 2.8 VR6s AAA engine codes?
And 2.9s ABV?

That article is referring ro the ABA - that's a 4 cylinder!
