   You wont get 120bhp from a VTR engine for £400
   
   Forget tuning your engine. Strip it of as much weight as you can and concentrate on the brakes and suspension

   If i were you Id sell the lexus lights so you'll have 400.01p haha. only joking.
   
   first of all i'd service it, you dont want to spend alot of money on your engine if its no good.
   Then...
   Good induction
   New manifold
   Exhaust- decat?
   Strip it?

   sounds like you should have sold your furio, saved the money from the vtr engine transplant and got your £400 and tried to get a vts. that way you would have had the speed but probably for the same money.

   cheap and fast don't go.
   
   you'll struggle to get a n/a vtr lump to 120 unless you spend £1000's.
   
   as said, better brakes and suspension and remove excess weight.

   I normally dont say this sort of thing, but for £400 you could get an s engine and thats the only way you can get 120bhp for £400
   unless your handy with a welder and have an eye for a bargain lol

    i would lose the rage exhaust and get a system designed for the saxo thats performance oriented
    get some good induction
    and a manifold
    thats probably a little over 40 quid
    youll see around 100ish on a good engine
    cams ect will destroy your budget as youll need a remap on any cam worth using

    get it stripped out buddy, improve the power to weight ratio, then upgrade the suspentio and brakes, like been said.

    As said you want to be thinking about getting rid of as much weight as possible. Saving weight is free and if you can live without certain things/the noises etc than its a great way to go faster cheaper. Look at uprating your suspension and brakes as said previously aswel. Id say you would have to budget around £800-900 to cam an map your vtr
