MkII VRT Thread

[youallreadyknowme]

PA synchro hands down is the best car in this thread so far.

TIME, MONEY, LABOR! hands down was not a cheap car to build and when do you see Synchro cars in USA? almost never unless your at a car show and that looks to me like a good street car to BLOW everyone's doors in

[greenraVR6]

lets some small bumper hidden inter cooler setup!!!


anything past 280 HP in a2 is just crazy!!! anything past 350 HP in a FWD car is jsut a number gain because at this point traction and tranny becomes an issues maybe 400 TQ for the tranny and gears start ripping apart...

none of my friends with big turbo cars have their gears being "ripped apart" vrt's or 1,8t's, only issue is the clutch's lifespan

[youallreadyknowme]

it all depends on how you drive your car, but it does happen. so consider your friends lucky so far. Either they take care of their cars or they dont drive them hard enough or have been lucky and didnt hit a dip on the highway yet it high boost Maybe they have sh*t tires and and no LSD so they get wheel spin which is actually good for tranny if you hook up hard and dont snap an axel consider you gears gone

ask this guy here, he has a nice ride and has broken several o2a gears

just got the trans back in yesterday! stripped 3rd racing a fast evo9 lets say i lost anyways, dyno'ed at 352whp and 333wtq@15psi (3rd gear pull on the dyno, if it was in 4th gear it would be about 50-60 more torque) ... ran the evo9 @24psi lol



im sure some people dont like the idea of big power FWD bc of traction problems... but that is where the fun starts 100mph burnouts anyone?

or maybe they just know how to shift, cause I assure you they do not drive their cars gently

[youallreadyknowme]

has nothing to do with how you shift.... you could be in 3rd gear pulling hard and the gear could strip. Most of the time happens with you hit a dip or uneven pavement. When this happens the gear has on and off load especially TQ and it's a done deal.

[greenraVR6]

I guess I could see that, but what is this "clip" people hit on the highway you keep referring to? I've never heard that saying...anyways, let's see some more vrt's

[86blueberry]

thanks for the compliment on my car cause I do love it and I can't wait to sort out my clutch and vac problem and get it inspected so I can blow everyones doors off ESPECIALLY evo's and wrx's lol. they wont know what to think when I eat them right from the start lol.

[86blueberry]

But I must say out of the few threads I have posted my car on no one has said mine was the nicest on there so far cause I know it doesnt look good but I have thousands of dollars into so far and will be getting thousands more and as far as I look at it this project will never be finished. So it makes me feel good some ppl can respect a nice built car just doesnt look pretty yet.

But there are some nice as vrt's on here. any of you guys in pa???

out in the North East where i am we have alot of DIPS in the road... the pavement will be smooth than it will dip quickly basically a bump in the road/dip and that shocks the crap of the transmissions parts. Maybe it's different where you are and have nice roads I dont know... all i know roads in the NE suck

Wow that's nice

Good color too

More than likely caused by driving a very high hp car with "too much lowz", no suspension travel, axles binding from said, no lsd, and/or poor driving skillz. Sure transmissions do just grenade. However there are MANY guys who drive HIGH HP VW's to their fullest potential, and somehow dont have these issues..... Your results may vary

my baby

[Capt.Dreadz]

my baby

You think the IC's big enough? I hope there's a monster to match that IC under the hood.

[rs_t]

sleeper theme: no visible gauges, small bumpers, and 4 lug setup
I tell people its an 8v

If this car had a oem grille and a cl front lip, it would have been one of the best I've ever seen. Love silver!

TDI?

[86blueberry]

no that is a vrt. I think he is just trying to trick people. I want to get 8 valve badges for mine lol

[youallreadyknowme]

you can clearly see the green vr6 lol

[less is more]

My pos

anymore photos?

You people make me want to abandon my turbo 16v project and swap in a VR.

[tunethtmkII]

arebt you supposed to supercharge these things?

[Capt.Dreadz]

You people make me want to abandon my turbo 16v project and swap in a VR.

If i had to do it all over again, i would've went with a 16vT. Yea you'll get a buttload of power from the VR but the 16vT is cheaper and the combinations of head/block you're able to use. For the amount i paid for my stage 3 Pro-MAF kit with upgraded turbo, i could've had a full FSI swap and still had money left over for upgrades. I could've had a fully built 9a with a huge turbo with standalone for the money. I wanted to build a turbo VR again.

My next project will be an 8v or 16v for sure!

[Mathew...]

This thread needs more videos.

[86blueberry]

let me have some nice days and get my car inspected I will surely post some video's of mine for all to see.

It's a built 3l vr running at gt35r. It'll be dynoed soon. And the IC sits straight now lol

What Hp are you running? More spec's please? Engine shot?

I've watched your dyno vid at least 100x Your spec's are similar to mine.

To the SRI guys,
Have you considered a bracket to hold the plug wires? I hate to have mine flapping around or ziptied together. I'm also thinking about mounting the coil somewhere on the PS side of the bay.

[PjS860ct]

my engine, turbo stuff and tranny will change soon...

My tune right now is only an email tune from Kevin and its super conservative to keep the engine together but ive stripped 2 3rd gears last year... 1 in june and 1 in november lol

[homiesmalls]

It is bored out to a 3l, mk4 gasket, JE pistons, all ARP bolts, corrado tranny, LSD, southbend stg5, garret gt35r ball bearing turbo, tial 44mm wastegate, custom 3" exhaust, open dumptube, custom intercooler piping (just re-fabbed), godspeed radiator and intercooler (not sitting crooked anymore lol), atp exhaust manifold, C2 stg2 440cc setup, manual boost controller, hks ssq recirculated bov, flipside customs intake manifold, flipside customs reinforced clutchfork, billet crack pipe, low temp setup, and samco hoses. The car sits on bilstein pss9's, schmidt modernlines 15x8, and new toyo t1r's 195/45/15. Poly mounts and bushings throughout. I'll snap photos of my bay soon 'cause I just re-did the IC piping. For sure over 450whp, but we'll find out soon.

[Capt.Dreadz]

Thank god i got a spare tranny just in case. What were the numbers when you dyno'd it?
