VR6 Turbo

Featured Replies

I think you should twin turbo it tbh especially as its a Vee engine

Would be so much more powerful

And you obviously get extra Ballin points ;)

Where you got that from mate sounds a good price? Think i'm going to have to spend a little more and get a big hefty thing for my own piece of mind ha

Full cages & road cars & insurance are a bit awkward.

And think of the weight!

But think of the weight!

But think of the weight!

Haha i know mate, they weigh a ton don't they. I only put that about it been a 1.4 as I've now got the engineers report to change it to a 2.8 on log book. Dreading the insurance quote. I'm on a traders though so I'm guessing that as long as I've declared it as a 2.8 i won't have to declare any mods as they only ask for reg whenever i phone up to add a car, They never ask anything else about them. In fact i can log in to my insurance site online and just type the reg in and its added.

I got my price through talking to Roy at CA Technologies. There the british importers of the Wiechers cages as they are made in germany, been really helpful and helped me decide on what exactly i need from the cage. So I've got little extra bits here and there to make it perfect for what i want. Didn't fancy a full cage in as the weight and insurance aspect of it. Insurers really dont like anything more than a show cage but with my harnesses going on it i wasnt stupid enough to go for a show one. Mines also FIA approved which helps with insurance (Y)
