Has anyone on the forum had there VR6 in the forum?

Here is the print out of mine:

Car had done around 180,000kms at the time, the only mod is a K&N replacement filter.

that looks like a pretty strong run for a stock vr6.
is that black line the torque curve? looks stupidly flat.

Shes a 94

Has anyone else got results from there VR6s?

Considering the stock flywheel torque is 235 Nm, your reading of 430Nm seems a bit odd. 109kW would be about right I would think, maybe a tad high.... Dont know about the AFR, that is all over the shop!

gearboxes will do that. only real measure of torque is an engine dyno IMHO

Yup, I agree with that.

So Im guessing no one has had there VR6 on the rollers?

Every dyno run I have seen has been carried out in 4th, was this one done in 3rd like it states in the bottom of the printout?

Here is my VR6 dyno run from many years ago. It is a good example of why you can't compare different dynos. It was done in third gear. The car supposedly had a high flow cat, it definitely had been chipped by Chip Torque and had a K & N filter.

By way of comparison here is a recent dyno run of my Seat Ibiza 2.0 16V. Same type of dyno but a different one and this run was done in fourth.

If you compare these 2 dyno runs it would have the 16V making more kW's than the VR6. Go the 16V.

Of interest is the flat torque curve of the 2.0 16V. Also the A/F ratio of the VR6 whilst it might be difficult to pick up because of the different scale used it appears (to my eyes anyway) to be almost exactly the same as GolfBoy's above.

Yup, mostly country k's though so the engine still goes well.

I wonder how much it is to rebuild a VR6 motor...

Your AFR is all over the joint too, must be the OBD1 in our early VR's :(

once everyone gets their clutches sorted out are any of you melb guys maybe interested in a dyno day? Not that our cars are overly modified or anything but it may be a fun social event? Im sure across a few forums we could get enuf interest to make a day of it?

If I lived in melb (and I wish I did) then i'd totally be up for it!

I made 105.4fwkw on Protek's dyno in my old VR6. Only mod was a remus.

For reference, my mate's 306 gti-6 made 105.5fwkw on the same day. He had a Carbon induction pipe and exhaust. Both runs were done in 4th
