vr6 turbo

[LazyLunatic]

Yeah buddy. Rod bolts are like £100? Few new bits on the rebuild I guess, I'm not sure. Would be my first engine rebuild. Gotta start somewhere! Got a nice HX40 and manifold and the engine is in pieces.

Vr engine is a doddle to work on aswell

What ate you doing regarding management?

I spoke to people running a reliable 400bhp for a couple years on standard engine. Just uprate rod bolts. VR6 was originally made to be a TDI block, so was made really strong. I don't have experience on building reliable turbo engines but surely if people have done it the cheap and cheerful way that's enough to say its good enough?

I got a few bits together ready to build a VR6T and I'm going to uprate the rod bolts and add in a spacer plate. I got HD springs and titanium retainers too

Go for it mate. Too many know it alls around that have no experience with this.

I have it on good authority that it can work very well. And this is from someone who tunes 600hp evos, 900hp skylines etc. Not just dubs. They even have to use spacers on these engines to give some safety when it comes to det. Some say about the squish is wrong but it's not as critical on FI engines than it is on NASP.

New pistons etc are 'ideal' but for the cost, you don't gain much!

forged pistons dont gain anything


they just dont melt

All this a well setup 250hp car will be faster than a car will 400/500. But what if you setup a 500hp engine well? LSD, 9" wide toyo r888's, etc.

I've seen enough big power fwd go down strips that's made me want one.

Build it well so you ain't got stupid lag and it will be fine.

id turbo my vr6 but ive not got 2 grand for the emissions test (finland)

yes it would be nice to have the only street legal vr6t in finland ,but it costs to much to do it right

If the engine is calibrated right there shouldn't be heat problems anyway.

Even with 2 bar boost? On a track day? Heat will be a issue

Your having a laugh right ?

Theirs only so far you can push FWD

No way can you set 500hp well unless theirs no torque

Again a well set up car with 250hp and loads of usable torque will show you up

Big power is not always the way forward, for 500hp I'd say you need all
Wheel drive

No I'm not. It will have trouble putting power down and a smaller car would pull better, but get to 80mph and then the big power would walk it.

Would have to get some front end down force but that's nothing to worry about and easy to do.

Any of you raced a vr6 turbo with 500whp?
Bet the answer is no!
