corrado33 10 Posted January 14, 2020 I always thought that if this was possible... it'd be supremely badass. You know how they make VR8 heads for the W16s in various bugatti cars? Anyone ever try to make a single VR8 out of it? As in just an extended VR6? Would it even be possible? Obviously the hardest part would be well... MAKING the VR8 block... considering they don't exist. But... COULD it exist? Could one be custom made? Would a VR8 work balance wise? Just spitballing here. I wonder what such an engine would perform like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted January 15, 2020 Would it fit transverse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 22 Posted January 15, 2020 Would it fit transverse? I doubt it, they put a dent in the chassis leg for clearance on the VR? MK2 retro fit needs to have its chassis leg dented for clearance too? 2 extra cylinders would need the leg cutting out? The extra weight wont help handling either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corrado33 10 Posted January 16, 2020 Would it fit transverse? Doubtful. It'd be more fun to put it in a longitudinal AWD conversion anyway, plus that would help with weight distribution. I just thought it'd be cool if it were near identical to the VR6, just... longer, therefore everything for the VR6 would just bolt right on (ignoring things like fuel rails and the like.)
