I guess I know what I will be doing this weekend...

Hi and welcome to the club. Your certainly right, the vr6 is a awesome big of kit. Get some pictures posted of your vr6 mate and if you make a post in the engine maintenance section I'm sure there'll be many a member who will pipe up with answers and opinions.

Been told to start a build thread so here goes ! Just been to view a B4 VR6 estate took a battery with me and it fired up first time Had a good look round it and ended up putting a deposit down on it. So will pick it up next week. I say project as it needs a heater matrix fitting. The previous owner has it but hasn't fitted it yet It's a 2.8 vr6 with a 2.9 throttle body and air intake. Blue silicone hoses New radiator All new sensor bar one Comes with a stainless exhaust yet to be fitted And only 110k miles I was surprised to how quite these are in standard form So I will have to c

Hay ladie and gents Been lurking on here for about three weeks researching the engine as I'm new to vr6's with this car being my first one. I've had a fair few vw's Hopefully pick it up next week and it's a bit ofa project to start start with. But already have a few mods tI change over. First being my coilovers. Looking forward to taking Part in club affairs is shows etc I'm based in West Yorkshire.

I was born and raised in a strickly hot roding family and i have built my car from ground up. iv gained some friends who are VW all the way and i was introduced too the vr6. Needless to say i have a passion for building engines and the more i reasearch i do the more im loving the vr6. but all my aquired knowledge on building v8's isnt much help in this area. Im dead set on building one from ground up and my first question is... Which block is the best start for a performance engine? block strength/ size/ combatability ECT... any info would be helpfull.

The bbs rims I've been offered are 11 spoke ones I believe

The pump isn't suitable. They are a different pump for a Vr6 due to increased flow requirements.

Think I'm going to be building my own methanol injection soon, and using the devilsown pump Usrallyteam website sell loads of brilliant parts

I don't know yet. I've been offered some passat vr bbs standard rims which I might get to start with and then use as winter rims. But I'm just going to carry on looking to see what's about Going to get one piece rims I'm not a fan of splits.

A session on that falling down water?

It has now been confirmed that we do indeed have an indoor display at Ultimate Dubs by the organizers. We will be in touch with all involved shortly to firm up details.

I think it may have been a aftermarket one. I will try with just some sealer and if not then I will get a genuine gasket.

Tbh it was just an idea whilst I was taking front end off for installing external oil cooler that if it was a simple task I'd do them at the same time. I'll have a look when I get the front end off and see if i can be bothered haha thanks guys

What is a good affordable turbo kit that would fit my 98' Jetta GLX? I figure there's no place better to ask such a question. I'm 18 and this is my first car. I drove my dad's Subaru WRX for awhile and really enjoyed it. He put in a bigger turbo, got it tuned and made it a lot faster. He really enjoys Volkswagen aswell but seeing as how it's an import car and an older model it's not as Common in the United States, especially in the VR6. My car is a lot faster than your average daily driver, but it's dirt stock. Only replacing parts that have gone out over the years of me and my dad owning it.

How do welcome to the club!!

For the cost of power steering fluid you might as well drain and refill, at least at the expense of your knuckles

i havnt bought anything yet, i have spotted several diff ones for cheap, i wanna learn as much as possible before i spend the money. As soon as i get it i want to have a game plan for the build, then i will be tearing it completly down to bare block and start the build up. Planning on a very high boosted engine with water/methanol injection among other things so i can squeez as much power as possible. Building mainly for drag racing.

Yeah so AAA 121421

Could you use my car as the test vehicle?

Sound cheers Plan are get it on the road first and through the mot. Got coilovers off my old car to go on. Then looking at some rims probably 17" Then going to make it mint on the out side. I'm thinking of going to justdubsuk this year and vw fest just on the Sunday. Once I have the car I had planned on doing a build thread. And this site has been really help with the info on the vr6. And the previous owner said to get a membership paid for the extra stuff. So I will probably do so at some point.

My whole car is like a sponge. Well........it certainly soaks up a lot of money!

So here is Novembers feature car. This is a personal favourite of mine and a true inspiration. The attention to detail on this car is unreal. It's latest makeover is somewhat controversial with the diehard fans but here at the VR6OC, we love it for its brashness and how much Dougie dared to be different. You will see from the spec list below that it's not just a show car but has all the credentials for the speed check list. Here are some answers from the man himself. The person behind the car.

Well at least mine and many more of our cars should start going up in value soon! A good Nova SR is now worth 3k[emoji15]! You could buy one for £150 when I first passed my test! So it's quite nice to be owning a car that should be appreciating rather than depreciating in value for once!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
