    Hi all,due to alot of porblems with my other car this project was put on hold, it is now back on and just finished rebuilding it last night, it's got all new chains,tensioners,the fun part was putting the collet rings back on around the valves.

    Thanks for the info, as I have not taken the GTi engine out yet then, and am in the process of rebuilding the VR do you guys reckon I should carry on with the project or dicth it.

    Yeah is a big risk but, I always liked them and I have seen quite a few go for it and the sound alone is appealing, so I pritty sure the performance will be quite good. Anyone live near me who is up for a race just to see the difference.Non modifed one.

    HI all, having never actually driven a VR6 and in the middle of doing the conversion to VR6, any one shed some light on how much better the torque will be on a standard VR6, my 16v runs at 170bhp and the top and mid end is really good cus can rev the ... off it, but I have noticed that the VR6 clocks revs are getting red mid 6000rpm, i know may be silly qiestion but i need to know if i will be happy once done the conversion, cus the 16valver ain't to bad as it goes.The vr lump is a 1998 2.8 ODB2 VR lump.

    Hi mate, I went to GTi festival when these first came out and this guy put a twin turbo on it I think, 0-60 3.6 secs, you got the cash I would do that just imagine the torque.I been in a standard one and that got torque as it is.
  17. VR6 DUBBER
    No way, I can't believe it fella,I have only just joined this club and you have given me some sound advice. Guess you got to what you got to do, losing your VR prob did not help you. Hope you will come back one day with a twin turbo'd R32.

    Hi all anyone know why VW chnaged the VR6 top chain back to a single in the later spec engines and made the tesioner a plastic one as opposed to a metal one..I would have thought the double chain and metal tesnsioner would be the best.

    You need a special round shaped set of pliers, they are shaped at the end to go around them and grip them.

    I was told mileage about 73,000,As for pumps, won't be doing those as I was told the oil pump would be around 200 mark, bit more cash I have not got at the moment. I just stripped all the valves down and cleaned them gonna put in new valve stem seals,chains and tensioners,new clutch, would love to put some good cams in there but the shrick are way to pricy for me, doing all the gaskest etc, then comes the fun part, taking the 16v motor out and changing front cross member etc and putting the VR6 in and prey to f...k it starts.My mechanic told me that if I ain't gonna try putting it in then he f

    Thanks for the support,. It's not hard to do and you should try it, as long as you got the right tools and a work shop to do it in, and a handy mechanic who you can ask questions. This is my first ever engine rebuild so if i can do it so can anyone else.
