well, I just wanted to know everyones expierince or knows anyone who has raced a vr6 with their turbo civics with a d15b7 boosting 7 psi? tonite I lost by a car legnth and couldn't catch up? i don't make excuses, but He had a good start, that vr6 does have more tourque and my civic had a hard time catching up even when boosting. just wanna know what your inputs are?
my setup was
t3 42/48 ar.
intercooled
2 1/2 downpipe back no cat
fmu and pump
greddy mani

 

i beat them up pretty badly. D16a1 boosting 10psi does the trick.

 

The VR6 normally isn't the ones to worry about, the 1.8T is the ones that are normally faster, not to say that there are no VR6s, but the 1.8T is faster when chipped.

The 1.8T GTi runs 15.3 from the factroy and chipped one ( APR ) prob. runs in the 14's...

 

i was under the impression that 1.8ts and vr6s were really dogs...

 

The only experience I've got is with a MkIII VR6 Gti on the road race course. I actually caught up to him and passed him in my N/A STD civic, w/ MPFI swap, I/H/E and such, but seriously, I've got max 100hp with all I've done, and I passed the ******. vr6s are sweet, but really not all that fast. To be beat'n in a turbo civic, something had to be done to the vr6, or you have some driving skills to work on.

 

Are we talking about volkswagens? Was it a girl driving? Isn't it illegal for a dude to drive one of those? (ok, I'm done)

 

i heard that the jetta is the most driven car by homos...

 

my buddy has a VR6 GTI he ran 15.4 4 times in a row on the track. I have the timeslip but i'd rather not post it. (I could have been the car next to him who went 16.9 at 8

 

16.9@88mph !!! How the hell did that happen !!! Its not that the time is so slow, (even though it is ) but the mph with the time...I ran 89mph@15.1, how'd it take you 2 seconds longer at appox. the same power level ? ( just curious ).

 

ummm, I don't know. lemme check the timeslip (if i still have it) i'll get back to you on that one. maybe he went 88 and i went 3 and a half. i don't rememer.

BTW this thread by no measure of reason belongs in the forced induction forum
