Late 2000 Phase 2 VTR

  1. #1
    Hi folks am new on this forum, just bought an X reg VTR registerd in late november 2000.
    Seen alot of things about whether its 90bhp or 98bhp, well my mate has a 1.4
    16v corsa sport which is said to be 88bhp according to parkers and my vtr smokes it.
    Just wondering if anyone could let me know what bhp they think mine is please.

    Thanks Guys,

    VTR_PHASE2.

    awrite sorry my mistake
    that means eurocarparts really did fook up when they sent me an old style coil pack when i wrote in my year as 2001 i thought it was just because it didnt specify which part of the year.

    i have a mk2 V reg VTR and its 90BHP as cat is under the car. I hear the extra 8bhp does hardly anything, id say a X reg is going to be 98bhp?


    I think the swap over was on a V reg as ive seen a cat in the manifold on a V reg before and like mine some are under the car still!!!

    Great thread, i've been thinking mines been 90bhp, Mines a VTR 52 reg with cat on manifold, i'm assuming this means mines 98bhp as well then?
