How much bhp u think?

10th September 2007, 17:26

Mk2 VTR with 4-2-1 manifold, supersprint stright though, Scorpion backbox, bmc cda, kent roller cams n a remap!

How much u think that would be running???

10th September 2007, 17:35

125 maybe a bit more

"awaits string comment"

10th September 2007, 17:41

How long is a piece of string?

*beats ryan to it..*

*deletes comment*

only kidding.

10th September 2007, 17:45

lol
well im very close to keeping up with vts atm n i aint got cams or the remap

10th September 2007, 18:10

sorry lads i was having a wank. you beat me to it.

What cams? as theres a few different spec from the manufacturer. im guessing youve got a 270?

10th September 2007, 18:11

kent ryan. will be a kent 40 something.
will all of the above you should be beating a vts

pt 40/50 then irc.

most seem to be 120-130 with an upraded cam shaft.

10th September 2007, 18:20

ul make 125bhp easily maybe more like 135 i reckon

wise choice in doin a vtr

10th September 2007, 18:22

i ain't got the cams yet am looking into them what the best ones possible really any ideas? n wanna get the rev limiter raised to the same as a vts. my mate got a vts n he only starts pulling from me in 3rd n he got a stright through n a viper n all i got at the mo is a manifold, stright through n a bmc!

model depends on what roller rocker you have. you also want a vernier pulley

10th September 2007, 18:26

are they wat come standard on the VTS??

10th September 2007, 18:31

verniers are std on vts yes.

vtr you will raise your rev limit depending on cam choice, no point in a 7500rev limit if your running out of powaaa at 6k

10th September 2007, 18:32

and tell your mate vipers are not very good.

as for the topic in hand.. tuning the engine should be more than finding a peak power output. You need to work out how you want the engine to perform and build the spec around that.

For example pick say a '285' cam and you may find the standard inlet + BMC not up to the job

10th September 2007, 19:51

you should make about 125bhp to 130bhp with those mods mate

10th September 2007, 20:38

it may only be half an engine but i no how well they can go because i had 1. it used 2 do vts's

but then a modified vts will do a modified vtr.

modify any engine it will punch above its standard weight.

10th September 2007, 21:24

you have to do alot to a vts to make it faster as ive had this convo with u before ryan

same with a vtr.

you change any cam set up from a standard one to an uprated one and remap the ecu accordingly you will make either car drive differently.

a cammed vts will hammer a cammed vtr. But a cammed Vtr will be on a par or above a std vts.

10th September 2007, 22:11

touche'

standard with verniers pulleys Dom (saxo-vtr)

...just do a conversion and cam the new VTS engine

gogo.

10th September 2007, 22:13

vtr doesnt come with a vernier if thats what your saying dude.

10th September 2007, 22:22

Nah i meant, VTS come standard with verniers,
so just put a VTS engine in your VTR...
more power from the start to play with

10th September 2007, 22:25

k dude, was just the (saxo-vtr) that I wanted to check over, incase it wasnt just a username.

Knew that only the S comes with verniers as standard

*is proud he actually knows a little.*

10th September 2007, 22:33

yeah its pretty nuts,
im the most impractical, unknowledgable person ever to do with cars.
Learn loads off this site,
cheers Ryan mate.
keep up the good work, lol.

11th September 2007, 01:13

i'm doing the same to my vtr

11th September 2007, 01:36

i reali duno wat to do now lol am kinda stomped lol got so many choices on wat to do!

I have spent quite abit on my vtr engine so far as Soulless knows lol!!!

What should i do?????

Here are my choices!

VTS conversion the do mods to that!
Keep all the modds on my car and cam it and get it re-mapped
Leave it like it is just do up the looks
Or VTR Turbo lol

Would concider buying a new car but i like my saxo way way way 2much lol

What would u lot do ur opions are more than welcome!!!

11th September 2007, 01:47

spent money on the vtr engine in what way??

if its things like exhausts and induction kits just use em on the 16v.

11th September 2007, 01:54

why do people insist on thinking a vtr will make 125bhp+ from a cam and remap? even manufacturers like piper dont give figures that are just not true and there selling the product.

apparently most vtrs are actualy only 80bhp at the wheels or there abouts..

if you want a quick solution to a quick blast try nitrous... unless you want to race around all the time then re fills get expensive lol

They're 90BHP and 98BHP IIRC. I think 125BHP would be pushing it as well to be honest but I can't really judge as I haven't done it myself..

*EDIT* I have no brain tbh...

because depending on cam spec, quite a few do manage between 120-130 bhp.

seen quite a few s2 rallye engines, and different vtr engines hitting this power.

others ive seen hitting 110-120. depends alot on the cam, and IF and the quality of the headwork done.

so everything but the manifold you can use on a different engine anyway

11th September 2007, 02:06

rallyes are faster than vtrs , better head? better gearbox untill top end speed!

to get 125bhp N/A from a vtr at the wheels woud cost loads and could be T/C for a coupe of grand or less if you have the time to pick up bargins

my vtr will be running 150 - 160 bhp at the wheels but it costs

11th September 2007, 02:08

so u all think a vts conversion would b gd idea then????

cost alot?? or cheaper than me camming n remap???

11th September 2007, 02:09

onli prob is aint i got to find a vts engine n shit from the same year as mine etc??

no1 has been quoting at the wheels figures. all at the fly.

its rare anyone will quote an at the wheels figure on an internet forum.

rallye have better head - if youve had headwork that means fuck all.

how much firther do you intend on going.

if not much just cam and remap the 8v.

if you intend on further down the line going for more power go 16v.

11th September 2007, 02:11

manifod
exhaust
cam
remap / standalone / piggybacke
best possable COLD air feed

done at one would seem brilliant, but people cant do it at once ( cost wise) and do it in stages so time they've added another mod there use to the first mod and so on....

11th September 2007, 02:12

Ryan , its with the help of a standard head . but a little frind called rotrex

11th September 2007, 02:14

i really dunno how much further i wanna go reali i dont reali know how far i can go i suspose the sky is the limit i guess i mean my mate got a 300bhp saxo vts so anything is possible i just want a quick nice car reali but i dont wanna stop modding if ya know wat i mean like i dont wanna do it all then stop i always want somethin to do i love my projects i just wana know wat the best reali lol!

i wasnt talking about your engine though, i was commenting that the rallye head was better standard. I was commenting that if headwork is being done this makes no difference. So it is possible to have between 120-130 at the fly on an 8v engine as many have done so

Somers gave up on his supercharged 8v after a few years. Mike off ssc had a nice supercharged vtr to.

you wont be running 150-160 bhp atw with that setup on a vtr...

tbh though mate dont wanna start a argument we never said we was gonna get it from that set up!!

11th September 2007, 02:18

N/A is less hassle i suppose, but i guess s/c , t/c can also be a everyday car it its done propery which only 50% of the people can afford to do , better rad , uprated internals ect.

this guy may have trouble finding a 16v as there getting hard to find? or s i heared

11th September 2007, 02:18

can we keep the comments to at the fly figures atm...

as 99% of the users will use fly figures and so i cant be fucked to work out transmission losses

11th September 2007, 02:19

just wanted to know wat i could be looking at if i did run that setup!! that all

N wanted to know wat best for me in the long run!! n wat i should do coz i know there alot of ppl on this site that have prob been in the same position as me trying to decide wat the best to do for the performance of there car

lol i never said i was, i was just saying all them mods at once will give you a good noticeable gain

11th September 2007, 02:20

i mean i was gonna do the t/c engine to my 8v with all the internals n skimmed head forged pistons uprated con rods etc but i duno if it worth the hassle on a 8v or even on any car tbh

11th September 2007, 02:22

bt the thing that puzzles me is all i have done is

manifold
stright through system
n bmc cda

and i am already keeping up with standard vts which means i must be pushing the 115-120bhp already no??

or your mate is a shit driver.

11th September 2007, 02:26

i over took redbullet in his VTS my Furio must be around 120 BHP from this replica magnex backbox and my green cotton, woop!

or as Ryan says....shit driver....which will be the case

11th September 2007, 02:26

you might be a good driver they might be a crap one, but at the end of the day 90 vs 120bhp and an exhaust manifold doesnt do that much on there own , they just compliment other mods.

a manifold just allows it to rev more freely... from my experience inaway,

ur say 90bhp bt mine was nearer the 100bhp wen standard being the mk2 i know it aint that much difference bt every little helps lol

11th September 2007, 02:30

never raced a vts but i read some were a vts wil pull of better from 3rd gear onwards?

i couldnt be doing with the vts insurance group, i mean vtr group 7 is quite good.

11th September 2007, 02:30

n b4 u say i doubt my car has lost that much bhp over the years as it has had all its services n stuff wen they have been needed and it was well looked after i mean since i have had which i have had it for the last 11k miles n i have done 3 services on it so its well looked after to keep them ponys under the hood

*apart from the odd ragging i give it*

there you go then, your mate might abuse hes car as much as mike jakson does kids and hes vts may no longer want to be 120bbhp

11th September 2007, 02:35

that could b very true i must admit n he will prob be looking at this 2moz n ave a moan lol

*hello motobruce heheh ur car is quick though mate luv ya haha

11th September 2007, 02:37

3 services in 11k miles? you done that in 3 years or what? no need to service it fully that often. Oil change before a track day etc then yes but general driving, no need IMO.

VTS will obviously have more pull in 3rd and in 2nd as its quicker to 60....which the S can do in 2nd gear. so there after its just leaves it

nah i ave had the car like 3/4 months lol i can do sum driving went though a stage of depression lol were i just wanted to drive n drive listerning to music so i done alot of millage lol

i know this is going to start a argument bt hay here it goes my speedo is 5mph out which i know is true n in 2nd on my car the speedo reads about 65mph just b4 limit which would mean my car does 60mph in second just before my limiter so...............

every body who owns a vts says a vtr isnt worth having, but going from a banger lke my self to a vtr seemed very nice, its just a vts is a better option to them... but if your happy with a vtr....you alreay have the exhaust sorted so maybe a cam , remap woudnt be such a bad move

theres many peope who also say therelimiter does this, a vts will do the same, but quicker lol

if you want to loose top end speed but gain bottom end find a rally box

speedo is ACTUALLY 10% out, so when it says 65 your actually doing 58.5 MPH, end of discussion on that subject!

am i wrong??

yes, but a VTS will do closer to 70 in 2nd so technically will actually do 60 in 2nd

11th September 2007, 02:52

according to them road side speeding warning signs my speedo is 4 - 6mhp out depending on what road im on - which speed detector i went throw

good if the speed cameras are the same calibration as you'd not have to worry then going throw a camera at 2mhp over the limit

even though i know they are wrong i still go through at 30 etc, no point in risking it is there. there is some on a 50 MPH road i know i could go through at 55 but not worth the risk

bingo, i actualy always go throw at 27mhp ish whats the hassle of slowing down 3mhp ?? none and its a simple way of knowing your not going to get caught speeding what so ever

lol 60 in 2nd thread.
Miss these.

11th September 2007, 11:46

faster you go the further your speedo is out

a vtr doesnt do 60 in second, FACT

it does 58

11th September 2007, 11:52

Does the vts do 60 in second then?

11th September 2007, 11:53

yes, you have one.
go try it.

11th September 2007, 13:29

bt the speedo is wrong if mine is wrong everyones is hahahahaha

onli messing with ya all i know your all right!!!

11th September 2007, 13:31

yes, so you know now that VTRs do not achieve 60 in 2nd gear

11th September 2007, 13:53

Ok Ive skimmed this thread,

saxo-vtr - I have a very healthy vtr engine in my car, stripped to the max with a carbon bonnet. A gmc 4-1/bmc/straight through system/b&m, I struggle to touch a standard vts with a GOOD driver. There is no way in hell you will be close to staying with a vts... I hit 109 at the fly on a good RR. Rolling roads not being accurate it's probably less (something I have learnt to accept from Ryan unfortunately). Obviously the weight loss has nothing to do with a rr printout. My advice is go and try race a standard vts on the 1/4 and see how far away you are because the difference is huge..

To answer your question if I cammed mine, with a remap and port/polish I would be happy to settle for 127-130bhp. Bhp is just pub talk it means nothing.

TBH i just wanted a moan.

11th September 2007, 14:02

I think i have heard everything now.....

"staying close to a vts in a VTR" emmmm pub talk that is as Ryan would say

I agree with you Cloud 100%

You have sence my brother

11th September 2007, 14:08

Fair enough maybe in 1st and 2nd a little bit, the VTS will absolute leave after that mate.

Mind you Cloud you do very well against them on the 1/4 mile

11th September 2007, 14:10

Yea leeroy I do.. but I know a good well maintained VTS with a good driver should be hitting 15.6's, I hit 15.7's. 1 tenth of a second is a long way when your driving lol

James it could be more though, thats my comment about rolling roads, some read above, some read below. The most accurate way of getting bhp is engine out and on a dyno,

Rolling roads will give you good information on a car, I just wouldnt use it as the B all and end all like alot of people seem to do. (ive seen 175bhp std vts's lol)

11th September 2007, 14:11

I did a 15.3 in my old gti with 3 cows in and a mate

Indeed, dsh85 hit 133bhp with an open air filter

I don't really know much about getting dyno readings. I don't even know how they are done to be honest..

At least now you can see why I feel theyre not the B all and end all, and not just to try and kick people down, Engine dynos are engine out of car onto a custom bellhousing straight to the dyno, so theres no gearbox, this means transmission losses cant come into play, as usually its a rought estimate, you cant also have people doing the run in the wrong gear.

11th September 2007, 14:18

i think around 130bhp

11th September 2007, 14:18

What gear is idle for a rolling road 4th i thought

IRC ja. although ive known of a few other people to come back bragging about figures, having the car run in different gears lol!

at least a dyno takes out this happening.

My engine won't be coming out so the chance of doing that is prettttty low.

11th September 2007, 14:24

To me BHP on the rollers mean nowt same on a dyno all pub banter tbh

Its how it performs on the road to me

11th September 2007, 14:25

Fair comment

, it's always nice to have a rough estimate though.

Something ive felt all along, to many people want X -bhp because they feel it makes up for lacking in the trouser department
