Supercharged Vr6's

as title states,what are they like? what sort of power are they and is there any bad points bout the engine?

tbh mate the engines are pretty much bulletproof! i know of a couple that are running around 270bhp so they aint too sluggish either! vr's are great if you can afford to maintain them,i couldnt hence why mine has gone! stupid things like coilpacks and leads n plugs are costly but once they are done and the chains n tensioners are sorted then they are good to go!

i sold my peppermint 8v,now driving an impreza turbo and have been offered a swap for a mk2 supercharged vr6 dunno what to do as i actually miss my mk2.

ooooo scooby,what model? i can honestly say after owning an impreza a vr6 was more economical and cheaper to fix,after all there is only 1 coil pack on a vr,which is an easy fix compared with an impreza which has 4 and are a twat to get at! if the value is the same all i can say is this time next year the impreza will lose more money and the mk2 will still be worth the same,if its a good one then id probably go for it! but thats me! and obviously if u have a type-r impreza or 22b then id have to think long and hard about it!

Charger will give aprox 50% more output. Bad points charger requires specialist servcing around 15 to 20,000 miles. Costing £400ish. that engine in a golf would be amazing

its a catalunya limited edition,im scared bout havin it serviced as ive looked thru all the history and its pretty much been over 700quid,i agree that golfs are easier to work on.so i dnt really know what to do.

Just to comment on the supercharger those kits were mega money to buy when new somewhere around £3500 if it was done by a company called Nick Sarran Racing
