CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted February 11, 2004 With regard to the power at low rpm of the Dubsport 20v. Has it been setup like that on purpose or is that typical for highly tunned turbo cars? (i.e. the more there tunned up the more aparant the lag becomes or am I a spaz) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Holy cripes....470lb/ft!! And Birch wants two of them in a MK4! Nutter....how's he going to get it to the track as it's illegal to have 2 engines in this country? Dont forget the Nitros too!! :twisted: :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Depends on a few things I think, including the size of the turbo etc. The dubsport mk2 had quite a big turbo on it as far as I remember. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 11, 2004 With regard to the power at low rpm of the Dubsport 20v. Has it been setup like that on purpose or is that typical for highly tunned turbo cars? (i.e. the more there tunned up the more aparant the lag becomes or am I a spaz) It is an unusual curve as 20V Ts usually have very strong torque to match.....I'm guessing the turbo is just too big and or the cams are too wild and boost is going straight out of the exhaust valves. The VR has 2 extra cylinders so bunging a big turbo isn't so bad as it has the swept volume to absorb it and make use of it at lower revs...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Illegal to have 2 engines?!?! I can think of at least 5 cars with twin engines that are on the road. And the reason the 1.8t has poor tprque is because it's a feeble little 4 banger :lol: :lol: :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 12, 2004 Illegal to have 2 engines?!?! I can think of at least 5 cars with twin engines that are on the road. They must have got through the SVA then..... And the reason the 1.8t has poor tprque is because it's a feeble little 4 banger :lol: :lol: :-P And 190bhp from a 2.9 V6 isn't feeble then? K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 12, 2004 It's enough. easily sorted with some proper cams instead of that tame sh1t VW fit them with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 12, 2004 Is that the main area of restriction on the VR then? I thought the head itself was? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruffy 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Easy Ben Had it for a coouple of months .. its really nice.. midnight blue with cream leather .. just doing a engine rebuild for the turbo install.. The 20v coming on strong .. should be pumping some good power for inters.. how about yours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Cool, hoping to get mine running very soon, got to pull the engine out for a few tweaks etc but once its back in I should be able to turn the key! Running out of time for inter's though!! Still got no interior and no paint on the outside!!! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phaserno1 0 Posted April 6, 2004 VR6T yes I had a dream once and now I have one in the making…. I chose it as I love my VR6 anyway but just wanted to make something different. Big job I know but I know a man who is able to do it as he use to race MK2 golf’s in the VW cup and his mate makes all the motors for them…. I CANT WAIT is all I can say…………..
