matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 since ive had my vr6 it just doesent give me the buzz it used to in standard form it keeps up with honda civic type r,s the new ones had a go with fto today seemed to keep up with that too so is that a healthy engine or should i be a bit quicker?

vr6madmike 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Depends how hard the type r was reving, if u catch them low down they are stuffed and above 70 ish the vr pulls away Link to post Share on other sites
matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 r u saying the vr would be quicker overall then i took mine right up to 140 a while back and it was an even match with the type r i will say my chains are really noisy and its done 120000 but even so a 2.0 against a 2.8 it should have the edge at least Link to post Share on other sites
matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 just to add when this happend i let it go past thought i would catch it by leaving it in 5th from about 80 ish but i was verry much mistaken Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 a stock vr will not stay with a stock ctr fact (under fair circumstances) dont forget theyr 7 years newer Link to post Share on other sites
matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 ctr? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 CTR is lighter than a VR6 (ignore the factory weight, they are over 1300kg), has MUCH shorter gears plus and extra one and has more power. Lower torque, yes, but 8000rpm with 200hp is enough to see off a standard VR easily. Link to post Share on other sites
matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 ah short for dohmine is deof stock and kept with it in fact ive had a go with 2 now 1st time i was behind 2 in front i would exact match none of us had the edge i think at 140 we were both flooring it no half mesures anyway that clears that up then.i admire the ctr for the power they produce but think they are ugly cars bit like a strech a class merc.

Eat this 2 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 CTR is lighter than a VR6 (ignore the factory weight' date=' they are over 1300kg), has MUCH shorter gears plus and extra one and has more power. Lower torque, yes, but 8000rpm with 200hp is enough to see off a standard VR easily.[/quote']i weighed my highline on a weighbridge ( half a tank loads of ice and crap in boot) it weighs 1250 kg the civics geariong is frankly stupid 6th on a ctr is almost identical to 4th on a vr!!! its the revs and the gear ratios that make it quick factory weight figure for a ctr is 1205kg 1150kg fopr a vr and 1210kg for corrado vr Link to post Share on other sites
matrix 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 so mines running ok then even with knackered chains nice.thx for all the replies Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 CTRs are quick so well done mate, FTOs range from 120-200 bhp theres a 2.0 v6 and a 1.8 4cylinder the v6 is same sorta spec as a VR6 probably not as much torque tho but they rev higher Link to post Share on other sites
