do you think someone may be considering the 20vt route??

for 3.5k im sure that would be a good purchase for a VR powered mk2, would give ben something to worry about

other than the slapping that coming his way.

take note of the seller of the vr6 turbo conversion so how do you think it will be faster on a different car?

vw action is the last show of the year for me what with going on holiday in mid september.

then the car will be stripped ready for a bit of re enginering for next year so i may set the car up at vw action to run max boost just for the crack plus i want to see how long a k03 weed blower will last doing it BOOM

reckon it would be awesome to get the AA to take me home long 3 hour drive after a weekend of BEER

it would be in a mk2 & everyone knows that they are faster than the mk3. should think in a VR powered syncro car, it would be pretty awesome IMO

ok you win that one mate the mk2 isnt as heavy or ugly as a mk3 and if its syncro youll have no problems getting it of the line unless im behind you with a chain and anchor

Hmmmm...... the debate kinda got spoilt by a lot of BS from HIGHLINE, thankfully he seems to have fallen off the radar now. Fact is, 2 more cylinders + 1 more litre, is always going to be in your favour. If you have a lot of money, then the VR6T route is going to outperform a 1.8 20vT, simply from having 1½x the displacement. BUT, it will cost a lot of money (thankfully helped by the weak $), more so than a tuned 1.8T. Its a close call once you factor in limited funds, too. As you know I'm not totally unfamiliar with the VR6 engine, and Mk1s, and I honestly believe a supercharger or turbocharger will not fit, not without significant bodywork modifications (such as cut & relocated chassis leg, or bulkhead mods).

For a drag racer, nitrous is a cheaper and more sensible route to take (on either engine).

my god highline sounds like a bit of a billy bull ****er to be fair!

A Good Nitrous setup and a good pair of Hoosier or M/T Slicks. A good set of rubber will save you 1.5 sec on the 1/4 and thats been proven this year on the strips.
