More bhp

7th June 2006, 20:18

I've just bought a vts, it has a green carbon fibre ram induction kit fitted, but i want more power, what else can i do for more bhp apart from a turbo or supercharge? is there better induction kits? i would like 160bhp.

7th June 2006, 20:41

decat, manifold, cams, port polish and remap shoudl see 160bhp

7th June 2006, 20:52

with all of that, would i keep up with 182's and cooper s's? whats the most bhp can i get b4 getting a supercharge and without straining my engine?

7th June 2006, 20:57

as soon as you do anything more to it your going to strain the engine.

Cooper s isnt that fast anyway but yes with that you should keep up with 182s.

As for whats the most power, how much have you got to spend

i'm not gonna do it all at once, but about 2k over all. whats the best induction kit, have u heard of a genaration 2 supercharger? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/electric-super...rbo-Citroen-Sa xo-VTR-VTS_W0QQitemZ8071042696QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQcmd ZVi ewItem

when you have 2k to spend you clearly dont want to buy rubbish, do you?

The electric 'supercharger' is a fine example of a waste of money.

Link and that has been read about before and DO NOT i repeat DO NOT get one of them.lol. You will have no change from £2k if you do the mods listed. That probably won't be enough.

like i said its not all gonna happen at once so it will be done in stages, i wanna try and get o-60 time low 6's, without spending more then the cars worth. is it possible 2 get that sort of time, for about 2500?

160 bhp you should be able to keep up with a 182, heres a little vid i found clicky

8th June 2006, 21:25

So i'm gonna need a bit more power then 160hp 2 get away from a 182. what else do i need 2 do and how much more am i looking at if i wanted 180bhp??

why would i lie? full readout:
engine speedcorr power (hp)total wheel torque
1973&n bsp;34.8&nbs p;&nbs p;91

2531&n bsp;45.5&nbs p;&nbs p;93

125.8 at the wheels is about 150 at the fly isnt it? this is from my printout wen i got my dastek mapped at tdi tuning in essex on a rototest hub mounted dyno

i've got all of that apart from the dastek but i've got a 4 branch manifold aswell even with a re-map i cant see it making 150 without cams

i'm not saying what you've saids a lie i'm just giving my opinion

10th June 2006, 00:19

as above mate the printout obviously says that, but youve got too look at it realisticaly. a filter, a backbox and decat prob makes 10. 15 thats generous. a dastek isnt gonna make 25 extra ponies.

l horne. to get 180 brake Na, you need throttlebodies, standalone, solid lifters, wid cams. you should nearer 190. hope youve got a big bank account

10th June 2006, 00:32

ben yours says your making 125bhp at the fly corrected is fly figures.

12th June 2006, 14:31

That lad with that saxo (in the vid) He's on this web stie he's from blackpool.

Get a 4-1 Manifold, De-cat, Cat Cams 708's And then Mapped at Jamsport!

Will see you 160 Bhp at the fly! Shudnt be to far of 182s performance!
