VIW28 29 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Couple of vids of my mk3 24v VR6 turbo on United Motorsport software. Car made 518.8hp & 428.9lb/ft torque at the crank at 1.2bar/18psi on this excursion in a workshop that was 20 degrees + Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sounds awesome. You must be pleased with that result Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Cheers It's a starting point anyhow, only way is up now Link to post Share on other sites
Cosie 6 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thats some starting point.....Yeah baby......500 Bhp plus..........Awesome figures, love it.Looks really cool.Looks stripped out from the photo? Do you track it?Wow just see that those figures were made at 20 degrees heat on 97 Ron fuel !!!!!!!! Must be awesome to drive. Can you get the power down ok? She must be seriously quick!I had a Subaru Wr1 that was running 420Bhp and not much could live with it on the road...this must be the same!Congrats on an awesome machine.Dave Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice numbers, Gethin.You running the standard inlet still?As that's gotta be limiting things a bit, I know it does on mine Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks guys! Yes Craig, still on standard inlet which is why I didn't run at higher boost pressure, too scared of popping it lol. Also still getting a bit of clutch slip at higher boost pressure so need to address that too.I don't track the car, it's a bit of fun that's all. Traction isn't too bad all things considered...LSD and long gearing helps but rolling starts are definitely better lol Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Nice video! Would the numbers not be much better with an sri along with better intake temps etc? Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Won't make a button of difference Michael, my inlet temp sensor is a 20vT one and in a boost pipe so not subject to the same heat soak plus a nice big aluminium heat shield over the exhaust manifold helps. Only reason I'd be fitting an SRI is because the OE plastic mani can only take so much boost pressure before it will blow itself open Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was back home in sunny Ulster for my wedding last week! Our reception was a lovely 10 minute drive from this boys house! Managed to dump the wife off to finalise some things with them and took a run out to see this car in the flesh.....Gethin was kind enough to take me for a neck snapping spin! I honestly can't get over how well she puts the power down.. Having all that over 2 wheels is crazy but christ it can put it down.Definitely a credit to you mate the hard work effort and attention to detail shows in every part of it. Amazed I was made driving back to Belfast in my N/A vr6 seem like travelling on a push bike lol jez_monkey 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 No worries I got my 2.0 TFSI Taxed today so will be playing with that until a Rotrex comes up lolNot sure if you seen I tagged a friend in the RR video you popped on facebook! Was telling him about your motor and how I had never been in anything so quick, he threw his keys in the air and said lets go for a spin! He drives a Focus RS Turbo thing 350BHP.... No slow piece of kit by any means but I had to say it didn't make me feel like my heart was gonna stop due to the pressure of my lungs against it hahaha! Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I know they are very easily modified mate lol but its not 6 pot lol I will probably sell it to fund some upgrades on the VR. Truth is I have two of them lol but my business partner wants me to sell the other one in Belfast so he has a reason to go back! He was amazed with the place and the hospitality.So if you know anyone in the market for one over there let me know! Link to post Share on other sites
