Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 15, 2010 Easily 12s for a man of your experience.... Jim Potter on the VR60C pulled a 12.54 in his home build MK3 VRT @ 1.3 bar, so you'll be into the 11s I reckon, providing you can put the grunt down..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GVK 0 Posted April 15, 2010 We'll see what happens :D James Hodson (sub11 motorsport) runs solid rear shocks to stop weight transfer on his mk2 on the strip :cuckoo: http://www.sub11motorsport.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GVK 0 Posted May 31, 2010 Stealth racing yesterday for CGTI dyno shoot out. Car did 210hp 188lb/ft but it's got a serious breathing issue/oil leak as under load it's smoking out of the breather and poss leaking on manifold. Car was used during the day to demonstrate boat anchor power down the Banbury road and on the way back from pub at Fenny Com...pton, stopped for phone call and the cnuting fuel pump seized leaving me stranded. Adlai, (toyotec on cgti) came back to the rescue and tried to help me sort it on road side proving out fuel pump feed/ground to diagnose fault, pump seized so called the AA and got towed back home. That pump has sounded like a circular saw for about 8 years so finally given up the ghost :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GVK 0 Posted June 15, 2010 Car is stripped ready for it's 4yr re-fit. That's right, the boat anchor is in dry dock :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted June 15, 2010 i think 14.1 secs for a n/a vr6 in a mk2 is excellent. My friends qpeng ko4 mk2 was just slightly slower than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GVK 0 Posted June 15, 2010 cant wait to see what this is capable of! You and me both - we're taking it to Bruntingthorpe and attempting to do over 180mph within 2miles, when it's done :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted June 15, 2010 yeah, i'd seen that! what kind of gearing are you going to have to run to get 180? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 15, 2010 3.39 diff gives 23.5mph per 1000rpm in top gear, so 164.5mph @ 7000rpm. 7500rpm plus a strong prevailing wind might top 180 :D As he's running 268 cams and 1.06 housing, it should have the legs to pull that. Just depends how much of a problem the MK2s aerodynamics become past 150. What's the fastest MK2 on record and how much hp did it have? Good stuff Gary. Did you see the Texas Mile MK3 VRT? 208mph and 10.11 @ 148 1/4. That runs 288 cams, 3.39 crown wheel and a taller .795 5th, oh and the small matter of over 8000rpm :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GVK 0 Posted June 18, 2010 3.39 diff gives 23.5mph per 1000rpm in top gear, so 164.5mph @ 7000rpm. What tyre size? I'm only running 195/50x15 Kumho V700 semi-slicks ,they are slightly taller than a regular 195/50 road tyre. Might have to put 17s on it for this.. :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 18, 2010 Here you go - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.p ... 0.11-148... I didn't factor in wheel/tyre size, so yeah, 17s might get you 180ish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
