How Are The VR6 268 Cams So Far? Which ECU Tune Do We Go With?

[@mpho_somo]

We are on 49.9K subscriptions maybe we should get a special video when we hit 50k😂🎉

[@SphesihleMalaka]

I agree👍💯🎉

So close!😱 Idk what to do though 😂🥲

​@@Mk3Smith just make a featured video with with wagon, maybe with some of your friend's cars and some good music. 🎼🎥

[@vwnut1995]

@Mk3Smith maybe a review of all your cars. Starting with Miley, including the all you current mk3's and the mk4 wagon. A brief rundown of where you got them, what you've done to them and what the future plans are.

Euro customs stage two on my AFP… it’s a proven and great tune plus they do deletes(Sai, immo, etc)

[@Fopeano]

Just found your channel (love it). You make a lot of videos, so there's a lot to see. Found the channel while looking for inspiration for my AFP track car, an absolute delight with over 1500 miles of hot lapping with 100% reliability on a stock engine. I'm looking forward to watching your Mk2 videos. That VR6 sound over 4000 is such an addiction for me, lol

[@teamphashash]

Been waiting for this follow-up .

[@caysonellsworth5366]

I'd suggest reaching out to United Motorsports and see what they have to offer. I know the R32 guys love their tunes, and their 24v tune is similar. Last I checked, they had a dealer in the Orlando area.

[@Carlicious-Parts]

n/a cars always needs to be tuned on a dyno. i dont think there wont be a difference anyway between 268 and 272. as long as they uses the same lift this will be more or less for the feelgood. :D better fuel on stock cams or even e85 will give more power.

[@golfplatz123]

awesome result with the new cams🤩

[@adiriko]

50k subs! New Project car!

[@rvborgh]

The absolute best VR6 12v 268 cams were the DRC 268s. i don't know if they are still available though.

[@bobbyjoethe1manshow]

Bro I feel what you mean about having a black mk4 and it looking soooo good when it’s clean then being so mad at it since it’s always dirty

[@P33CEGAWD]

video request: wagon rolling/cinematic video with some music of your choice. something we can throw on the TV and everyone can enjoy. 50k special maybe even hire someone with a good setup for rollers

[@matthewmohri9990]

I have always had good luck with GIAC I have heard good things about United Motor Sports(not sure if they are still in business), or if you wanted to spend the extra money you might find a place that makes up a specific tune. I am not sure if Apexi is even still in business but that used to make a SAFC II Tuner for the 12v VR6, which some people would use to tweak a bit more power out of the cars after installing a chip. I think APR might make a chip for The 12v VR6. Lets be real The 12v VR6 is a great engine but it's a bit old, not sure who still sells chips. I'm sure some people on Vortex might drop a line if you asked the question. I think a custom tune would be cool, but after you get all the mods you want on it. I know it costs a lot of money but a properly done P&P with 36/41 BVH head with those cams would be sick. I had a heat treated P&P BVH with DRC268's on my Jetta and it made the mid to high end power band wake up quite a bit. I wish I would have taken off my Bosal Header, and ported and gasket matched my lower intake manifold and my exhaust manifold. The Schrick VGI was nice but looking back on it I would have rather had a 2.9L P&P stock intake manifold where the elbow was properly cut to allow more flow. I've read that that actually produces a decent amount of HP and is far cheaper than buying a used Schrick VGI, I don't believe Schrick even makes them anymore. This makes me miss my old 1995 OBD I MKIII GLX VR6 Jetta. I need to hit the lottery and get another VR6 I do miss my Jetta but I'd love a Corrado.

[@Mk3Smith]

From what I’ve seen the Giac tune and the Euro Customs tune for the mk4 12v are still available to buy new. Some of the older ones I’d have to buy used if I found someone selling it. I did see on marketplace a guy had 12v vr6 chipped ecu’s from lowlyfe which I haven’t heard of before. Something like a custom tune would be cool but idk who even provides that these days. Off the shelf tune will probably be the easiest route.

[@matthewmohri9990]

@@Mk3Smith Sounds like the best plan plus GIAC is extremely reliable and decent customer service.

[@itshendo6475]

@@Mk3SmithChristian, stay away from lowlife or however they spell it. Multiple reputable sources have stated he makes crap tunes.

[@RAA12586]

I working a 94 mk3 glx, have a few vids on my channel of it. I had Mk4 afp vr6 that made me fall in love with this engine. My goal setup would be some mild cams 262 or higher, 3.94 with and lsd.

[@mitchellleja6172]

Unitronic has an off the shelf tune for 12v’s I believe

Is it common to have no pad contact on the outer portion of the rear 10.1 rotors? I had the same problem on an old mk4

[@simonkingpl6617]

why are the rear discs so strangely worn? Is it the fault of some clamp adapter?

What wheel spacers are those brother?

[@marzocchi705]

put your car in reverse if you jack it up ar the rear facing down a slope. the gearbox will hold it.

[@GTsGarageTech]

You don’t have to tune it to run those cams? Usually in a v8 like in Silverado, you have to tune it to drive otherwise it’ll run like crap. That car is definitely going to wake up once you get a tune!

[@Mk3Smith]

No yeah I don’t need a tune to run these cams at all but with the tuned ecu it remaps a lot of things to work better with the new cams
