vr6 turbo

[teg94]

hey guys i was just wondering if u can safely turbo a stock gti vr6 engine .?? also I was lookin at the garrett t3/t4 kit at http://vwturbo.com/products/items/mk3vr6.asp ...and was wondering if neone has experience with this product ...thanks in advance

[ice_rr]

there is a old threat that talks about turbo charging... if you do a search on turbo... anyway all i can say to you that it will cost you alot and you cand use its hard to maintain!

[Vin.ZNT]

yes you can

but how much are you looking to put in it
at the very least 7000$ coz of all the labor work and modifications

[teg94]

ahh thanks for the input guys .... dont think i will be doing that ..

[Vin.ZNT]

actually 7000$ may be a bit low

for you'll also need more parts for it to run smoothly, intercooler alone is a 1000$ more, with labor and all, could be 2000$ more

not to mention the taxes

ya know what I'm sayin'?


ya know, VR6 is a good engine, just do some N/A mods to it, intake, exhaust, pulleys, cams, headers, etc. etc.
there are lots to do

[ice_rr]

its allready fast enough! i only have intake and exost system and the car flyies! if you gone add turbo than you got to take it to races... the car is a great car and turbo is not needed!

OK Well to the uninformed Kinetecs is selling a t3/t4 set up running 6psi for $2200 and no engine work has to be done it can be totally stock. The VR6 is a very stout engine anyway and can take without it being rebuilt around 8-10psi with nothing done to it. I've heard of some Jersey boys running 12psi. go find kinetics. It will get you 245whp with nothing else done to it.

[Vin.ZNT]

not with the installing fee and taxes

and "nothing else done to it" is misleading, in order to get a turbo running in a car, you need plenty more stuff then just the turbo kit, if you want your car to last long and run smoothly
also the money to maintain it

[Dr.Gonzo]

From people who have the Kinetics kit their experience has been good. The 6psi makes it so that you don't have to run a front mount however you can buy it as an upgrade if you want. They have a few more items you can get for more power. This Turbo Kit was tested by members of Eurotuner about 4 or 5 months back. The tester for Eurotuner said it was the smoothest running VR6 turbo application he'd ever driven. OK Vin.ZNT is right it is a bit more with the taxes and instal but how much do most stage 1 super charger kits run? around 3000-3500 and that's before taxes and before instal fee. Most stage 1 super charger kits only net between 225-240whp. I think the only exception for more whp for its stage 1 s/c kit would be C2 motorsports it's a bit higher. Incidently C2 Motor Sports helped make the software for the Kinetics VR6 turbo kit.

Now about lasting long and running smoothly well the Kinetics turbo kit has been out for only 4 or 5 months so long term effects are still up in the air. From what people who've bought the kit have said about it on Vortex is that it's a great kit and not some sham like GSB was with their BVH's.

[Vin.ZNT]

sounds cool

maybe you can try it out teg94

but then again, just like cereals, you CAN eat it outta the box, and people do
but it's recommended that you add milk to get the most outta it

ya know what I'm sayin'?
like clutchs, exhaust, yea FMIC, pulleys, etc. etc.

but cool kit nonetheless

[teg94]

thanks a lot guys ...yea it sounds like a good kit

www.eiptuning.com They have pricey stuff, but its the best and most complete. The ATP kit isnt really complete, youll need a dump tude, and the fit ment isnt exactly good.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Teg94 get the new Eurotuner and you will see an andvertisement for the new Kintetics motor VR6 turbo kit. A lot of guys on VWvortex are really digging these kits

[edspecR]

go to www.swankhouse.com or www.hpamotorsports.com

swankhouse is "all you need for making a vr6t" and hpa has a kit (a very crazy one) for the vr6 for like...alot of money

[Mk2Vr6Turbo]
