The VR6 is actually a straight 6 wearing a V6's pants and is better than a 2JZ. Snap em up from your local junkyards while you still can.

Nope. The N54 is the new 2JZ. 800hp on stock internals? Yes, please.

There actually are, in that there are at least two VR6 Passats and I have a buddy with a welder.

Yeah, but 12v VR6s came stock with forged internals and can safely be pushed up to like 600 with a spacer and a bigass turbo. And (hotter take) they sound better.

Bu t the 12V head doesn’t flow well and the 32V isn’t much better.

Because just setting your wallet on fire and asking the bank to delete everything in your account is faster and less painful.

It has all the disadvantages of a V6 and very few of the advantages of a I6.

I say, go balls deep, and just get an I6.

Sure, except it has the smoothness and power of an I6, but fits in the same space as an I4.

Is it really a straight 6 in V6 pants if it’s not internally balanced?

But they like to eat timing chain guides, and the timing chain is on the transmission side.

I'm just saying there's a reason why all of VWAG's new gas v6 engines aren't VR6s....

I mean, yeah. There’s a reason every VW guy I know has at least 1 spare VR6 sitting in their garage.
