Tuning guide for all VR6 engines
515 kW for your VR6 with an initial kilowatt of 128 or 140!
The dream team: Forged pistons & X-Beam steel connecting rods from Wiseco & BAR-TEK® for your VR6 turbo engine. With this Kombo you have perfectly coordinated parts, with which you can easily drive power over 1000 hp.
The set includes forged pistons from Wiseco, X-Beam steel conrods from us and ACL racing bearings. The X-beam connecting rods are perfectly designed for extreme performance. The increased cross section distributes the load and reduces it in this way. This makes the connecting rods very crack resistant and stable at extremely low weight (599 grams including bolts).
The Wiseco pistons are also designed for maximum performance. With special alloys and coatings, they are resistant and extremely light. Friction is also significantly reduced. Because the piston ring webs are extra wide, you can easily bring over 3.5 bar boost pressure and over 1000 hp onto the road. From 2 bar you should upgrade to our reinforced turbo piston pins.
With this set you save money and time, because all parts are perfectly matched to each other. In addition they harmonize wonderfully with each other, so that you can get the maximum performance from your VR6 engine!
