Turbo Charging VR6

[YSGANIE]

Hi people, I am turbo charging a vr6 and I am going for a T3/4 turbo, how much power should i expect at 0.8 bar boost? Ive been told that a T66 turbo would make more power but then i would have to do the internals, is this a better option?

surely u going to do internals in anycase.... rather do it right or not at all

+1 with stu, its near impossible to give an indication what power a car will make at what boost when going BT. Theres too many variables, cams, internals, cr, manifolds, turbo, fuel, etc etc etc etc. one could make 50whp, and another 500whp. get my drift?

I know turbo route is expensive but dont take shortcuts.

damn son, i hope you have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of spare cash to get this done...

if you looking for a proper set of internals hit me a PM...

PM BlueBob he build a VR6T

Jaredem is also selling the one BlueBob build in the FS section

Hi. Firstly there are probably about in excess of 10000 combinations of wheels and housings combinations of t3t4 so what younare asking with the info younsupplied is how long is a piece of string. My guess is about 13cm.

I would not attempt a turbo conversion on VR6 without internals no matter what boost you intend running.

hey bud

I bought Blobs old VR6T. Internals should be done, i know blob ended up doing them after the pistons broke the first time around. He built it right with the forged internals and the car is still running three years later. You need to decide what sort of boost you want to run to decide on what compression pistons to get.

Mines currently has a leaking exhaust mani so only boosting 0.5bar. Mani will get replaced in a week or so and then its off to Panic for the Tune. When tuned, on a T61 the car made 230hp on 0.8bar on 95.

here is what you need to get to make it all happen - http://www.vwclub.co.za/phpbb3/viewtopi ... 9#p1687829
or even better - get a completed one already - http://www.vwclub.co.za/phpbb3/viewtopi ... 9&t=148135

These motors are finicky. If you use the wrong wheel/housing combo's it will make less power than a much smaller turbo. You really gotta know your onions on these else you will fit a dozen different turbo's and they all won't make good power.
