best engine for high power/weight ratio? AKA Ben's Cab

bad move!

 

yeah all the metal in my head think it will hurt somehow

 

Can we chance this thread to "bens cab" now please?

 

taa dar

 

podtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

pod fever is here 4 days and counting lol

 

so whos up for a can of whoop ass

 

would it be a slipper moment if i said im debating a 16vt or vr6t conversion in my new mk1

 

wasn't someone selling a vr6 setup a while back?
what happened, u get whipped or something?

 

nope got a mk1 tintop that needs to be turned into a 12 second car lol

 

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 1x 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.

 

So what happened in the end?
