2.0L to VR6

[Spyda]

Cant he just do a half cut like the japs do?

8v turbo is about 250hp yeah?

Somehow I think I might have a bit of trouble finiding a half cut VR6 unless someone knows something I dont. I think I might just improve the current motor and other stuff, maybe drop one in at a later stage. Im looking at upgrading the brakes first as they are somewhat... weak, I was thinking of putting on VR6 or GTI hubs and brakes.

You wont find a half cut for a vr6, i assume that most people either source an engine + gearbox locally or buy an insurance wreck.

[Whist]

Yeah, that what i thought, Ill just keep my eyes open on ebay and in wreakers and see what comes up, Ill be looking around for hubs and brakes anyway so you never know, I might even just end up sticking to the 2L, like some of you guys said, why build a car you can buy.

Hey there dude, if you want more go (I would love a VR6 just for the zorst note!!!) then strap on a turbo and go from there. It will leave you with a better handling car coz of the lower weight of the 2L over the VR6 and with more power as well as good fuel economy. Just my 5 cents worth. Good luck with whatever you do though.
