The benefit of going vw is the audi, passat tranny, which is the same as the 2.5 boxster, based off the 944. The 4 cylinders aren't that heavy my g 60 is about the same as my old type 4.
I know the vr6s are about 100 pounds heavier than a 1.8t and make the best buzz sound. If i wanted to put in a vr, it would have to be with forced induction as well, the vr's love boost. When you have a boosted vr in a regular fwd vw its basically just a highway pull machine, theres just no traction in anything but fourth gear. The vr6 also can bolt up to the audi passat tranny with an adapter plate, the company that makes it put a vr turbo in an old b5 audi a4 and cleaned house at a tuner event making close to 1000hp, they had to tune it down for the track events. heres some pics of a vr 914 that i found somewhere (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1286053923.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1286053924.2.jpg) now heres my g60 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1286053924.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1286053924.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1286053924.5.jpg) The g 60 fit like a glove, but soon I'll turn it into a hybrid 16v g60. |
