Hi guys new to the group this is my mk2 gti with a vr6 conversion , it's been my daily project for the last 18 months , look forward to meeting other vr6 owners at gti Spring fest

Hi Guys I have managed to edit some footage of the first drive in the golf, i'm hoping to get it on a track in the next few weeks and really put it through its paces Anyway I hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9JjMuWlBqg

Honestly I have been asking myself this same question for a long time. It goes to a braided line that runs around the supercharger and in to the pressure side of the charger housinf. I will see if i can find a picture that better shows you

I can get more spaces if needs be @Bealieboy, im sure it will not be a problem as always get one or two no shows on the day! If we can get to 15 cars then awesome!

Hi mate going to try later hopefully it's working buzz Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Coupla' nice vids I stumbled upon!

Hi Rich i own a passat 35i 1.6i from 1989 and a month ago,i purchased a passat 35i Vr6 facelift and the project is to swap everything to the passat 35i 1.6.

ah cheers nick..yes only been here few weeks,but already asked a few questions and got ever helpful reply's.(especially from bealieboy..)seem a good bunch of guys.so what ya got then???((obviously 6 pot!)..

This is my passat 35i 1.6i

Hi Rich i see your also new on this forum. nice golf you have and hope your to see the progress of your project grts Nick

I've now extended the club stand to 15 cars!

Come on buzz, we've been waiting for months now.. SWEET burnout, but what's the yank doing on the profile pic??

Feck it, buzz is meant to be on the stand too!! My mate that can't fecking sign up.

p.s. I think Jeff what's his name Atwood is it, over at Vortex - think he works for UM in US or one of the big companies there - has many years on these engines and he did 13psi bone stock but there are very, very few people that know as much about them as him as a guide.

Petrol turbo cars have lower compression which reduces knock/detonation, the higher the compression ratio the more likely you'll get knock as a basic guide, although there is efficiency/power to be had at higher compressions, depends where knock limit is. Diesel engines are not petrol ether, they run very high compression ratio's comparatively. As I said though, you can get >500hp on a stock engine - spacer/ARP included though and some have taken it to 700hp but you HAVE to sort knock out by lowering compression with a spacer plate at least and hardware in the critically stressed areas

Here is the final list for the club stand! 1. Vr6Pete 2. bealieboy 3. mattvr6 4. vdubhead 5. andy vr 6. Mistline 7. Andrew Brogan 8. bennyk 9. Callum Chuckie Hollis 10. vdubhead's Mk1 Golf If you are not able to make it, please let us know well in advance so we can fill your space! Cheers. Pete

It's okay, in many respects it's right, reciprocating masses denote the drivetrain so a crankshaft could be considered that too. However, generally if I was asking on such forums I would say that drivetrain is usually the clutch, driveshafts etc and we say "bottom end" to mean the pistons, rods, crank etc in the engine. Stock engine you probably don't really want to get too far beyond 300hp before you lower compression. ARP hardware and a spacer/decompression plate can be used if on a budget. High hp (>500hp) can be had but it's a risk, if you can afford it, rods and pistons really as

I know the feeling, mine made 270bhp with stage 2 pulley and 268 cams but drove great. 12psi pulley should see 320bhp from what I've seen.

Im not going to lie I was a little disappointed with the figures. I managed 293BHP @ 6770 RPM and 230 ft/lb of torque @ 6030 RPM. Its only managed to gain 4BHP with the charge cooler setup. I have a 12 psi pulley that I am thinking of using to get the figures to over the 300BHP that I wanted but we shall see. Im hoping I might be able to eek out a few more horse power just with a few tweaks

1997 VR6 MANUAL - Dragon Green/Full leather/Air Con/Heated Seats. I'm the second owner and take my cars seriously. The mileage is 71K but you would think it was 20K. The car has EVERY single bit a paperwork from Day 1 – Order Forms/handover form/MOTs/all receipts – I mean everything. It has been serviced EVERY year in accordance with service schedule demands and has a fully stamped service book with 19 entries and all paperwork to match. The car is totally original The pictures say it all. The quality of the car can be judged that the wheels have never been re-fu

No - stock in that sense, basically adding your turbo so lots of change - means lowering compression - i.e. spacer/decompression plate or pistons to bring it down from 10.5:1 to the 9.0:1 or so you if you want to avoid knock under boost. Pistons best way, spacer if you can't afford pistons. This is knock, seeing as your 1st language isn't English then I hope it helps; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking Head work, like cams, can have a benefit especially under boost, but no need to go crazy with them, timing of naturally aspirated engines - those with no turbo or sup

As Dave said, sort of - "drivetrain" denotes the driving parts in English - your clutch and gearbox so to speak but I assume you mean engine. Nothing is really needed for the head except possibly cams for better VVT control/spool with timing. Over 1100hp has been had with a stock head so unnecessary really! This one to be exact so save money there in my opinion! This car here made over 1000ps at 6850rpm on the dyno so crazy rev limits are usually to do with gears/speed only - no more power is really had at high rev limits due to engine design - you may want to change to hea

This is my Corrado. I bought it after a break from the 'VW scene' and immediately loved it. Its a 1995 Corrado VR6 in metallic black. Spec is as follows: Full respray in 2010 in original metallic black KW V1 coilovers Refurbished BBS (RJ's?) with Proxes t1-s Lupo wiper conversion Rear wiper deleted Full cream leather storm interior with working electric recaros Black faux saude headlining with black switches Audioscape door pods Custom built sub box and boot false floor 2.9 ABV engine 117,000 miles Polished inlet manifold and tensioner Carbonio air intake Samco hoses Magnacore HT leads Eibach
