G60 vs VR6 vs 8v vs 16v

[dtjames 0]

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]

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:

And even then thats not an enormous power gain.. doesn't it give much nicer mid-range torque? Not that the VR needs it.. :)

[dubster82 0]

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:

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 :?

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:

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

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.

[stormseeker 0]

Right. That's it. You lot have made up my mind.

:D :D

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Lol :D

[VR6 0]

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 ;)

[Arrow3 VR6 0]

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!

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
