VR6 dyno results?

[Golfboy666GTI]

Has anyone on the forum had there VR6 in the forum?

Here is the print out of mine:

Car had done around 180,000kms at the time, the only mod is a K&N replacement filter.

that looks like a pretty strong run for a stock vr6.
is that black line the torque curve? looks stupidly flat.

Um something smells fishy about this??????

AFR is all over the joint.... what year is yours?

Shes a 94

Has anyone else got results from there VR6s?

Considering the stock flywheel torque is 235 Nm, your reading of 430Nm seems a bit odd. 109kW would be about right I would think, maybe a tad high.... Dont know about the AFR, that is all over the shop!

gearboxes will do that. only real measure of torque is an engine dyno IMHO

Yup, I agree with that.

So Im guessing no one has had there VR6 on the rollers?

Every dyno run I have seen has been carried out in 4th, was this one done in 3rd like it states in the bottom of the printout?

Here is my VR6 dyno run from many years ago. It is a good example of why you can't compare different dynos. It was done in third gear. The car supposedly had a high flow cat, it definitely had been chipped by Chip Torque and had a K & N filter.



By way of comparison here is a recent dyno run of my Seat Ibiza 2.0 16V. Same type of dyno but a different one and this run was done in fourth.



If you compare these 2 dyno runs it would have the 16V making more kW's than the VR6. Go the 16V.

Of interest is the flat torque curve of the 2.0 16V. Also the A/F ratio of the VR6 whilst it might be difficult to pick up because of the different scale used it appears (to my eyes anyway) to be almost exactly the same as GolfBoy's above.

I've been keen on dyno'ing my VR6, but ive got 270,000km on ze clock. Probably making bugger all kw

[ScienceVR6]

jeez you got a high k jobbie.

I was booked into get a dyno tune, but i couldnt get in that day.
now my clutch is stuffed, so it will have to wait.

[MattyT]

Yup, mostly country k's though so the engine still goes well.

I wonder how much it is to rebuild a VR6 motor...

heres mine wid 260 on the clock! with a crud press bent 2.25 catback and sum twin 2" rear exit muffler (restriction im guessing ), also iridium plugs . . .
