I want a VR6

[WishingForSpeed]

I want a VR6, yeah i know, I know who doesn't? Well anyway what would be the cheapest way to approach this?

A. Buy a wrecked VR6 and rebuild it.
B. VR6 Swap in my Jet.
C. Sell my Jetta and buy a VR6 with that.

I'd have to get a rental car or something keep that im mind :roll:
I'm hoping choice A will be the cheapest b/c I kinda want a project car. I need something I can drive while it's being completed, which will take a while on my budget. Plus it would be cool to have a daily driver and a VR for the weekends! :twisted:

[Gotturbo]

depends.... how wrecked are you talking about?

[WishingForSpeed]

Well im not sure to tell you the truth. Probably decently wrecked enough to where the value drops conciderably and where it is somewhat drivable ...catch my drift? :roll:

[Slalom]

the terms 'VR6' and 'budget' don't go together very well... my choice would be C.

[Gotturbo]

not necesarilly true... if you look around you can find them pretty cheap.

[WishingForSpeed]

Well I kind of want to get A wrecked VR6 so i can have something to work on a little bit. How much do you think it would cost for a wrecked vr6 in the long run?

[GoodDayForADrive]

Any way you do this, it's going to cost a lot... That's why I gave up and decided I'll just turbo my car this summer :lol:

You can pick up a VR6 Jetta, that same vintage of car that you own now for around $5000 to $7000 depending on the miles and condition it is in.

[Calabi]

Yeah, I thought about upgrading to a 1.8T or VR6, but now I'm just thinking of going with the Neuspeed supercharger for $2500. Not bad for a 50% horsepower boost.

I saw a VR6 for sale for 3500 CND I think. it had 200k kms on it. I beleive it was a 95.. but it was a while ago when I saw it.
I was close, its 3995$ cnd and 199 k kms.

That link probably won't work. Just search autotrader.ca in all regions. Use the area code P0H if you want. It's a 95 passat

I know a classmate of mine who, at once, wanted a VR6 also. However; he supercharged his 2.0 jetta, and now, he drives with the utmost of satisfaction, especially when he eats up many VR6-powered jettas :wink: . I definitely think its much more cost-efficient to either turbocharge or supercharge your jetta. You'll save a huge amount of money in the end which you can use to further "perfect" your car. :D

[Gotturbo]

wait till he pulls up to a SC'd VR6 :D

[WishingForSpeed]

Ok I am going to go with the turbo charger 8) What would I need to do tot he car to get it completly ready for 196 ground hp? :twisted:

[MKIIVR6]

Here in the near future I am planning on force feeding my car. There are SC's and TC's out there. I have thought a lot about EIP's turbo kit as I have tons of room behind the motor and the firewall to install it. Stage one is a 12 hour bolt on that will give the car about 277 wheel horsepower. The VR will definately need a limited slip differential installed at that point. With EIP's kit you can upgrade all the way to stage four, which spits out over 400 wheel horsepower. However by that point I am almost positive that I will need forged pistons, rods and crankshaft to continue to allow it to be a daily driver as well. :twisted:

If you are lucky enough to find a VR6 that's been wrecked, the ideal way to go would be to use that as a donor car and swap it into your 4 cyl jetta.
