mightyvr6 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 about £2500 for the Vf-Eng kitStage 1 should give you 260 bhpFI is definitely the way to go for a decent power increase. Forget schrick manifold and cams etc. waste of money, go straight for the charger. Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 i bet a schrik, atb, and altered final drive will make a quicker A to B car than just bolting an SC on. probably similar costs.what you think? Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 You can get a turbo kit for the vr which cost around £3000........giving you somthing like 280-300bhp.......then your up with the big boys 8o) Link to post Share on other sites
mina 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Don't forget guys....power is nothing without control.Oh and other bits will break - so that £3k will quickly start going up!Mina Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 iv got exhaust and induction kit whats the best/cheapest way to 240-250 geegees why 240-250bhp? is the question... how can I make my car go faster in a straight line? just to add to the debate the s/c VR6s at the pod didnt seem to be much more than 1/2 a sec quicker than standard ones... is that £2500 well spent? &| Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 14.2 is a lot quicker than 15.4 Link to post Share on other sites
Macca 1 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Probably cheapest way to 250bhp is with nitrous oxide - discuss Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 If you want a quick 1/4 mile car dont buy a heavy front wheel drive car - period....What im trying to say is a SC equipped VR6 is not going to highlight the difference on a 1/4 mile strip where traction in the first and second is a balancing act - a stock VR6 can put all its grunt down in the lower gears whereas a SC equipped car will have to balance power over traction and hence will possibly be slower in the first 1/8th mile than a stock car...My Saab which i have just sold was running over 240bhp at the front wheels and was a right headache to pull away at anything more than a snails pace because when the power came in whilst in the first two gears you might as well forget it - i can lauch the VR6 alot quicker......Pete.

binliner 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 14.2 is a lot quicker than 15.4Yeah but the s/c vrs I saw on the day didnt do 14.2 (I'm not doubting that evil did 14.2 btw)I was just raising a point, namely what is the goal... just to get 250bhp on a rolling road? a quicker 1/4 mile? an all round smoother more driveable car? pure top end speed?

simey 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Forced induction is the way to gain reliable power but the point that's missed is getting that power onto the tarmac.... Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 vr box is good for about 250bhp, any more, u might want to think about new box. Then u got engine mounts, drive shafts, LSD, thats just a taster, go on with uprated headgaskets, piston etc.... think about it..... Link to post Share on other sites
mina 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Looks like we're getting back to that debate around whether it's worth spending loads on a car to make it faster or just buy a fast one with all the bits already fitted! Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 gear box is the reason i said 240-250 bhp.. im bored of the power, i want a bigger kick when i plant it you let me worry about puttin the power down hehe Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 The gearbox and driveshafts can handle up to and probably beyond 300 bhp thanks to German over-engineering and anyway it's torque which breaks gearboxes. I'm sure the engine can handle the relatively modest levels of torque a charger produces. The power of the supercharger is progressive which helps limit the strain put on these components and means that traction isn't a huge issue. You'd be amazed what difference good tyres make.The current supercharger kits are designed to run on a standard engine. No need to change the headgasket, pistons etc. You'd only consider that if you blew the engine up. It costs £2500 because it actually does something and does a lot more than many smaller mods added together. Link to post Share on other sites
