One thing I stand by is the Torque. The Golf was lovely to drive. I loved being able to keep up with Clio 180 sports, 206 gti180's ect ect. If your VR is healthy with maybe a cat back exhaust and decat, you're only going to see cars near, equal to or more powerful than say, an RS focus being able to destroy you.

Most cars nowadays, even diesels, can destroy VR's. Go back 16 years and I'll bet you there wasn't much could leave a VR behind.

I've always thought I've had the VR quicker 0 - 62 than on paper. I think the times they post on spec sites are pessimistic. I owned a rover that I hit 60 in 9 secs. The Manufacturer said it was 12.3 seconds.


By the way, ALL duels, drags ect ect boil down to the Individual Driver. People can own a VR and get destroyed by 1.8 GTI mk 2 Golfs for example..... just because people own a m ore powerful car, does not mean they can change gear properly or launch correctly.]]> readchr@nospam.com (THE MONK) Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:30:41 +0100 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?388298 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?388298 ]]> mattroll@nospam.com (Matt'naughtystep'VR) Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:24:12 +0100 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?388298 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?376950 gillg1979@nospam.com (VR6 Gill) Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:11:22 +0100 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?376950 http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?388298

As a bit of VW car enthusiast I regulary surf the net on various forums to see what the general opinion of the VR6 is. I only search the Golf VR6 (although the corrado does come into it on occassions).

When comparing the VR6 to other cars, it seems to be slated quiet a bit. Comments such as "its underpowered for 2.8" come up quite regulary. I came across an interesting forum a few weeks ago where a guy in a BMW 328I was racing a VR6 and the VR6 beat him and buy the sounds of it, pretty comfortably as well. The BMW community immeadiately went on the defensive and said the VR must have been modded etc. The same thing I have seen on a Honda Civic Type R forum.
This sort of thing comes up quite a lot. Now as a VR owner, my question is, are the manufacturer figures (or parkers etc) actually accurate, as most people normally use these as a benchmark.
Also I have seen quarter mile figures posted for the Golf VR to range from 14.5 sec to 15.7 secs, and these again are for standard cars I presume.

So it leads me to the question, is the Golf VR6 actually faster than whats quoted on paper?
Sitting inside the car and driving it, it seems to have alot more muscle than the paper comparison?
I quite enjoy having a B road blast up against various cars, and sometimes you win, sometimes you loose its all in the name of fun.

Thoughts please?

i went with a 'modified policy' and agreed milage... which means all mods are insured too, so if mine is written off, not only do they replace the car they will then pay out for me to rebuy all the mods i have listed so i can fully rebuild my car... thats with adrian flux and sky insurance who support the premium members of the site, so its well worth spending £15 now and saving a bucket load on your insurance.


I did the same as Nat so i wouldnt be out of pocket or left with standard bits should i stack it!

If your car insurance renewal is due in September, please feel free to ring us for a quote on our scheme!

The parameters have changed in that the scheme insurers don't accept bhp increase mods by more than 20bhp or people with more than one conviction or who have had a fault claim in the last 12 months.

Currently running a standard setup for cams and ecu tune.
The car is a track car with road use to and from the track days.

I am looking to upgrade the cam/ecu for performance gains on track and staying N/A.

From searching the 268 cam seems to be the way forward but is that correct?

If so, where is the best place to get one and how much are they?
What else would I need to get apart from a remap?

Would I see any improvement form running at first on the standard ecu with the new cam?

Anybody got a low mileage cam for sale??

Many thanks,
Ian

I stand corrected, that is a water cooled turbo as Matt said.

That doesn't look like Stealth Racing kit to me mate, so it could be a T61 as originally said, it's certainly the right frame size!

Stealth use the SPA Turbo cast manifold and an oil only T4 turbo.

It looks like good stuff. You'll need an adapter to to convert the 2 bolt wastegate fitment on the manifold to a 44mm v band fitment on the wastegate.
