VR6BOY 2 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am looking to turbo a vr6 at what point does the original crank become useless? I plan to use a garrett gt40 turbo from kevs mates LOL (known to you and I as spturbo.com)Looking for max bhp http://turbo.heizpack.de/Leistungsmessung.WMVthe above clip is very coooool Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 LOL! Send Bill an email mate. AFAIK he does very little mechanically to his engines and he runs 40psi on some of them! But the issue is Americans don't build engines to do 100,000 miles though, so you need to bear that in mind if you want a long lasting road engine.For max possible HP with reliability, steel rods and crank will probably be needed but in terms of crank throw, I think the stock 90.3mm or whatever it is, is fine. Why not get a 3.2 stroker crank from these guys - http://www.eurospecsport.com/enginevr6.htmTorque monster with a turbo!!! Not very revvy though.... Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Nice! I've got a mate with a 3.0 VR6 turbo Rallye, which he did years ago with Stealth. He ran into heat soak problems with the stock manifold, so fitted the Schimmel intake recently and that sorted him out nicely.Schimmel's chargecooler is brilliant. The one on his site is the same setup he uses on his 800+ hp cars. It's expensive, but was worth it for me as I didn't want the aggro of fitting an air-air intercooler.You should go for the newer Haldex ECU and O2M gearbox and that will take really big torque!I've been considering getting a cheap Golf 4Motion and dropping my engine into that as everything is already in place :-) Need a bit of a spending break first though!
