GVK's mk2 VR6 track car

[GVK 1]

if your into track days and that i would got for the .82 hot side as the 1.06 will take longer to make full boost.

Matt @ C2 advised this spec, I trust his judgement, the rascal.

After the help and service I got last Weekend I'd trust his judgement without question.

[craggsy 91]

Well I'd of thought that you want it to spool up later for track use personally. Don't want all the power coming outta corners do ya would just do a showboating jim and light up the fronts

[pops 1]

exactly craggsy, should have enough revs out of the corner hit boost quite quickly

[AJmk2 2]

What power are you aiming for? Would be great to have a vr6 track day session.

[GVK 1]

Going to run @ 0.8bar off the wastegate spring, which can be raised... Matt said even @ 0.6bar it'll be 330-340hp and that turbo will be 'bored'

[GVK 1]

Car has a 3.6FD, 268 cams and only weighs just over 1000kg, I don't think lag is going to be much of an issue guys... Matt advises the big exhaust housing will make the power delivery more progressive, with a smaller hotside it will spool earlier but that gives you 400lb/ft kicking shit out of the gear teeth... One of the cars running the C2 stuff has a GT30 and that eats 4th gears for breakfast....

Haven't updated this for ages - have had gearbox refreshed with new bearings and gone back to standard VR6 Final drive.

With the aim to do a top speed run at Brunters, my old 3.68 wouldn't be 'enough'

I've had the head off and fitted a spacer plate (8.5:1) and got the head back on, ex mani/ turbo bolted on,

Unorthodox racing (as per Fidanza) 6lb flywheel back on and new Helix paddle clutch. Gearbox bolted back on.

Once the engine is back in it'll be time to sort out the plumbing for turbo oil feed/drain, down-pipe fabrication and all the intake/boost pipe work - doesn't sound much does it? :?

Thanks to Matt @ C2 UK for all help/advice/parts supply :up:

MMMM looks good , 340bhp at 0.6 bar would be nice...

Did you find the front strut brace made much difference to how the car feels?

Also how do you rate your H&R coilovers are they good for track use?

[jims13 6]

lower front strut brace is great , upper a bit more cosmetic but still worthwhile.

mmm, brunters top speed run , that still on gary ?

[GVK 1]

I think the front end feels more planted with the brace. It's an Eibach one which is no longer available.

Suspension is fine road/track compromise, I do have big ARBs as well, I bought the H&R cheap second hand about a year ago and for the money they're fine - not sure i'd buy a new set as they're not adjustable.

If anyone has an old scrap OBD II VR6 engine I need these parts

Brackets from the intake manifold where the throttle cable goes on the back of it

3x throttle body cap head bolts

starter motor bolts

I could just get new ones but thought i'd ask -

Fitz nice'n'tight - heat sheilding needed for column gaiter/clutch m/c and pipes!

I've had the head off and fitted a spacer plate (8.5:1) and got the head back on, ex mani/ turbo bolted on,

Unorthodox racing (as per Fidanza) 6lb flywheel back on and new Helix paddle clutch. Gearbox bolted back on.

Precision turbos external Wastegate bolted on,Fitted 6x630cc Seimens Deka injectors for fuelling to support 500hp.

[AJmk2 2]

Looking good on the build. Does the R32 shifter make a lot of difference to how it feels?

[GVK 1]

Yep, compared to mk3/corrado stuff it's a lot more direct, I've got the fore/aft lever from a TT to reduce the throw as well. Only problem is I don't think you can fit the mk4 shifter under the car on a mk2, I hear there's a Polo one you can use tho.

[bungy 2]

You can modify and shorten the shift even more which is very worthwhile.

VR6 GT4088 19psi 432whp, that'll do.

[GVK 1]

I'm undecided about oil cooler location as will have intercooler in front of rad where i used to have the oil cooler, thought about fitting it in old battery location and then add some holes in the bonnet to vent the heat from it ( the bonnet is dented etc so it wouldn't hurt to experiment)
