Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

First off, I am not going to race anybody for money if I don't know anything about their car, I'm not stupid. More than likely I probably won't ever race for money, but I figure I would ask you guys that actual have. It's just very temtping sometimes.

find out some info on him, and then race him for 20 bucks :)

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

yeah, but 300whp for a 'decent' kit on a vr6 is very easily accomplished. a factory 1.8t and a vr6-t are two totally different ball games. i was researching them for a while b/c my boy wanted to boost his 01 gti, and they are pretty nasty with a decent set up. check out vwvortex.com

Yeah the more that I thnk about it I don't like the idea of racing for money. I think most of this has to do with me beating some guy that has a new shop called "rev motorsports" here in Longview. He was talking ---- all over town saying he race anybody for $500 (could all be rumors, but it sounds like something people from Longview would say lol). I went out to the races one night and wanted to race me for money real bad, but I said no since he could have been running a big shot of nitrous or maybe even had a built high compression motor on race gas (very unlikely, but still I'm not going to be a sucker). He has a B20/Vtec hatch that I beat by like 5 cars easily and I was only running like 9 pounds.

i def wouldnt put money on it, ive read a lot of what you have posted here and on HT and your car seems to be more than competent for street racing but, you gotta think
a AAA VR6 is 174hp 162lb/ft stock, take into account most 1/2 way intelligent Turbo VR owners run HUGE T4 setups, making upwards of 350hp easy. being as this is a swap he prob got the engine and trans from a B3 or B4 passat for the short gears. IMO i think you would get your ass handed to you even if this guys setup is under par.

oh yeah ill try to find the thread, but i read on the Tex about a daily driven MK2 VR-T that smoked a TT-R32 by almost a second, just some food for thought

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

IMO a VR6 with a decent setup would rip pretty hard.
and it would be different if you are going to race him 1/4, or top speed runs

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

tell him youll run him for a 12pack, that way you can at least split it afterwards and there wont be any hard feelings ;D

i love lamp :D

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

that all depends on what year and what car the engines are from

corrado VR6 178hp

B3 & B4 Passat VR6 174hp (short geared trans)

93-01 Jetta & GTi VR6 174hp

02-now Jetta & GTi VR6 200hp

MK4 99.5-01 GTi & Jetta 1.8T 150hp

All New beetles (ex Turbo S) 1.8t 150hp

MK4 02-now Jetta & GTi 1.8T 180hp

New beetle turbo S 1.8T 180hp w/ 6 speed

A stock 180hp w/ bolt ons and a GOOD chip will put out 200WHP and 245+wtq

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

Yeah I pretty much figured if this guy has a nice sized turbo and actually knows what he is doing I won't have a chance, but this is Longview, people are stupid here. If it's just some VR6 with a tiny turbo putting down close to as much power as me I will have a pretty good chance. I asked him a bunch of questions about his car though and I will race him for fun. :)
