VTR VTS Top End

6th May 2005, 16:31

Just wondering, if i put in a VTS engine into my VTR and keep in the vtr gear box, what will it top out at? will it be more or less than the vtr, and wil it be more or less than the vts?

i have done exactly that mate, the vts engine in my vtr with the vtr box, ive had top end 136mph with more to go.

i think the vts has a shorter ratio box. the acceleration on mines awesome especially in 2nd gear.

How much is it to put a VTS engine in a VTR?

all depends how much you get the engine for an who fits it. i paid £500 for the engine which came with everythin an then got a mate to drop it in for £200.

Something to cosider for the future i think, cheaper than buying a VTS then?

suppose it is. i changed a few things tho when i did mine like the exhaust system, manifold, air filter etc, you will need the vts radiator and fans.

hitting the limiter on teh vts engine with a vtr box is around 163.3mph depending on wheel/tyre size. And yes it has been hit

Wow, 163MPH in a saxo is very very fast

yes putting a vtr gearbox onto a vts will give it a bigger top end
