GTI 1.8t or VR6?

[MIami-boy]

12v(99-01.5) VR6- 180hp and like 160tq
24(02-05) VR6 - 200hp and i'm not sure about the torque #s

These of course, are crank #s, not actual WHP

o ok thanks. because this kid with a VR6 in his 98 gti talks shit all the time about how fast it is and how it can easily beat a h22, type-r ect. and his car runs rich ass hell cuz he got a chip and didnt get it tuned lol. im about to rape his ass

[driftergreg]

i LOVE my car, its been great to me in every way. fun fast and pretty....BUT, i still wish id held out for a VR6..

More than likely he probably can

What other mods are done to the VR6? Besides, don't forget the high tq #s that VW's make that Honda's dont

the VR is stock my boy got a h22 swapped CB7 i/h/e 70mm T/B and cam gears. tuned on a s200 his numbers are 198hp and 161 Tq and it's well tuned. the Vr is running pig rich and not to mention heavy ass 2.8 liter. i dont think the 160 tq can compensate for a 3000 pound car. my

BTw do u have a VR6???

[GermanMuscle]

the VR got a jump but the accord caught him at the top of 3rd. arent the Mk2's suppost to be lighter?it was all over after 3rd. hey the VR sounded nice

btw that was a CD heavier than a CB check it out

b/c i don't have a 3000lbs dub

[MIami-boy]

im going by wut the kid said he said the big motor in is car made it weigh roughly in the 3k range. but w/e wut do u have

[Jecht]

I would seriously take the 1.8T. If you either plan to leave it completely stock other than bolt ons like an exhaust, just go for the VR6 because it makes a beautiful sound with a good exhaust. It takes a LOT of money to get more power out of a VR6.

That was my reasoning too when I bought my 1.8T GTI even though I wrecked it (bad on my part) I always wished it was a VR cause with the amount of money Ive had to spend on cars in the past year/year 1/2 I coulda gone turbo VR which has way more power potential than the 1.8T. Im actually going back and putting one in my jetta ASAP to make up for my errors before.

The 1.8T you can make quick for cheap. Yea the VR to get big power is more money but you gotta pay to play. Plus to get a 1.8T to VRT standards it would take more money than it woulda to go with the VRT.

i have a vr6 in a mk2 87' gti (see pic below)... and that motor isn't as big as you think, its probably one of the smallest v6's on the planet and if the guy has chip as you stated then he is probably running roughly 170+whp/160+lbs

the vr6 just has way more potential then 1.8t if you have the $$$... i know alot of people have been all about boost but look what you can do NA \/

[benwaballs]

if your going to do just bolt ons do a 1.8t if you plan on saving some coin and doing a BT get the vr6. both motors cost the same to BT but the vr6 is way better platform.

hot damn !!!!!! those are some serious number i give u props
i dont think the accord can hang with that. 11.5 sec 1/4 mile wow very impressive. are those shrick cams? well very nice it's cool to learn some diffrent things i didnt know VW's had so much potential

thats not my dub but just what you can do w/ NA vr6... vr6/1.8t are very capable of 13 sec 1/4 w/ very little mods. if the guy talking shit was in a 1.8t i would say he would wax you; but since its a vr6 and your setup w/ the numbers you posted, it will come down to driver + traction.

[MIami-boy]

yea drivers race ok. the one u posted for sale is yours?

[4dmin]

yup that the one i'm selling.

Which is why I said, I love how much people underestimate VW's

beyond the eletrical nightmares they are great cars w/ hella torque

[FNR32]

I love my R32. I didnt think i would b/c i was coming for a 300+WHP WRX and well my R isnt 300whp. But the power it has is so smooth, and the other things make up for the power loss. Ive got a CIA and tune and ive run 13.4's in it. With real mods, im sure the car would open up a good bit.

thats a very underrated car... it does amazing on a road course check out the HOT LAP times from Top Gear...

and the interior is to die for :idb:

Yea that's what turns a lot of people away from VW's. I mean, if the parts were cheap to fix the electrical problems, it wouldn't really be big problems. But parts are exxxxxpensive!!!

[Kyle]

No electrical problems ever for me...

[FNR32]

The only electrical issue i have had so far is a blown fuse (fuel pump fues) and the car wouldnt start. Other than that, ive had no issues what so ever. I think it's all in the upkeep. If you keep your car like a POS, it will end up like one.

That's not always true. If it were true, then they wouldn't send out recalls to fix the brake light switch, the fallen windows, the airbags popping out randomnly, the left headlight going out by itself, the heated seats catching fire

Well it is going to live with someone else so they can deal with it. I am sure I will have fun though on the Black Anniversary edition I am getting. I plan to do a little to it and possibly do a K04 turbo upgrade in time, thoughts?

Congrats ...20th AE's are awesome

How much power do you plan on making?

with a K04 tuned right w/ the upgrades injectors, n75, fmic, maf, etc... you will easily be 250whp/300lbs... i was reading recently about some k04 guys in the 260-270whp range. everything is going to be on your tune.


Here are the Power Lap Times for Top Gear \/ notice the R32 over the S4, 350z, Rx8, M3 ... granted track conditions mean alot when they do this but i have no doubt that it can hang w/ many of the cars in the bottom half on a road course

How much were you making on stock turbo Paul? I know you had a lot of work put into it, but what were the #s?

[Kyle]

Well, I haven't sold it yet... I have found a good 20th AE, but I don't know if it would be boring to get another GTI. I like mine now, but am wondering if I will regret this and still want a faster car.

[4dmin]

my car did 220whp/285lbs w/ NO fan blowing on the FMIC... with a few more parts it would easily make 225+whp/290+lbs on the k03...

the 1.8t is a beast of a motor, but it all comes down to the parts you purchase... w/ under 3 grand you can easily do what i did on a 1.8t.

You won't. You will have a lot more fun with a 20th. The car itself already looks damn nice, and you'll have a lot more fun modding it than the one you currently own . Besides, if your not trying to mod it that much, you'll have loads of fun with the 20th. They can be quick, which seems like is what your looking for correct? Nothing ridiculous?
