LowG 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Some very light moded G60's and properly sorted will make a VR look silly though G60 faster? Yes it can be with little cash,G60 are more tunable than VR6 up to a certain point for us normal G60 lovers but then if you take it to the extreme the VR6 can be turbo but the luck you will find a VR6 turbo is very slim as they expensive so most moded G60 are quicker than VR6's but all depends what youv done to it.

dubster82 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Yeah. You have to spend LOADS to Tune up a VR6 to do the same Kind of performance that G60 can be tuned to. Best thing for a VR is probably a VSR inlet manifold but these are VERY Expensive. if you can find one!!!! :shock: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 16, 2003 And even then thats not an enormous power gain.. doesn't it give much nicer mid-range torque? Not that the VR needs it.. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Something like that, but once you get the VSR there is The Cam, Re-map, Charger conversion... Now were talking!!!!! :D Have to Rob a bank though :cry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowG 0 Posted June 16, 2003 well if you have a vr and you want to tune with a charger and vsr i say dont bother,if you have that much money to spend id get a nice turbo with a short log manifold,front intercooler porsche 944,ported to 3.1l forged pistons balanced crank and all the forged goddies,stand alone fuel managment ported head and so on. I bet for a nice 6 grand one can build up a 400-500hp vr turbo,that is if you do the work yourself in your own garage,maybe some day :? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted June 16, 2003 When i said charger, i didn't necissarily mean Super charger...... Luckily though i have a G60! Too much money needed for a VR :shock: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 16, 2003 Some very light moded G60's and properly sorted will make a VR look silly though G60 faster? That's correct, all you need in a G60 is a K&N air filter and it'll completely obliterate a VR6. In fact, the G60 is so much faster, I'm trading my VR6 tomorrow :D Kev 94 VR6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pau1 0 Posted June 16, 2003 hehe no need to be sarcastic but its true LMAO ! This thread is just getting silly now guys....... an MR2 isnt really a match for a Corrado be it a G60 or a VR6. The Corrado is one of THE best handling FWD cars EVER. And thats a fact. The MR2 is a little too tiwtchy near the limit and I personaly have never come across a fast 2lr 16v MR2 ..... In fact i used to be neck and neck back in the day i had my 1.8 16v engine in !.......... There are plenty of G60 v VR6 threads to use guys so lets stay on topic.

VR6 0 Posted June 17, 2003 Right, seeing as though you're unable to stop the bickering in an unrelated thread, I've created one for you. Humour/opinions welcome but if it turns into a slagging match, it can/will be closed. And please do not mention MR2's.....there's another thread for that ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arrow3 VR6 0 Posted June 17, 2003 I have a few questions about the whole G60 vs VR6 deal..in advance, I'm new to these cars, but I'm learning ;) First of all: So is it realistically cheaper to buy a G60 and tune it to get a car with the same or better performance as a VR6 for the same amount of money(as you would pay for a G60 + tuning)? 2nd: Are there any physical appearance differences between the G60's and VR6's? I'm currently searching for a C, but mind you, I'm in the US, so gear comments accordingly please :shock: Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bournemouth James 0 Posted June 17, 2003 The vr6/slc in america is not as fast, the engine is a 2.8 instead of a 2.9 which we have in europe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
