Is it possible to gain 140brake through modding a VTR??

What kind of gains can you gain from different mods??

14th August 2006, 20:32

only if you have about £4000.00 spare in your wallet.

turbocharger / supercharger conversion.

EDIT: for £4000.00 you can buy a car with factory fitted turbo with over 250+bhp

none turbo mods:

enclosed induction kit / relocated induction kit : £80-120
4-2-1 / 4-1 manifold : £120-350
De-Cat : £50-80
Full Through Exhaust : £200-350
Cam : £250-350
ECU REMAP / Chip : £200-350

Total it all up plus add fitting labour it works out over £1000+ easy, and for a £1000.00 you can buy a car thats quicker, more reliable, more creature comforts. (no car name / brand mentiond !!!!)

Ok then.. what mods will do what in terms of gains?

for example gains

cams - price - bhp+

I know someone who had stupid power out of a N/A VTR, but I won't say how much because everyone will call me a bullshitter.

turbo / supercharger (basic setup) will see you around 140 / 150 bhp - put it this way, the deeper your pockets, the more bhp when it comes to turbo / super charging a vtr.....£6000.00 will see in the ultimate section of this.

the other non turbo/super charger mods, all together will see you around 120-130 bhp, a wee bit quicker then a standard VTS, but if the VTS had the same mods, then bye bye baby......

I think i will look at the possibility of moddin a saxo normally..

What will i need to do??

Cams - but as its 8v does this mean i only have 1 cam...

I would get...

raceland 4-2-1 manifold
Bmc induction
Magnex/scorpion system

yes, 1 cam, either go for KENT or PIPER cams. Your other choices are fine.

raceland 4-2-1 manifold
Bmc induction
Magnex/scorpion system
Kent cam..

What else would be needed??
what gains would be achieved?

14th August 2006, 20:57

harrus pm cammedvtr and see what exact setup hes running and what power hes gained. i would change the pulley aswell. i think hes had a head job aswell, and maybe a gmc 4-2-1

Ok..... i'v explained already...... but here goes again......

with what you listed you need to get the ECU remapped, i.e. tunned accordingly to the mods you have listed, basically once a 'CAM' is fitted, you can drive the car, but you wont get the most out of it, hence, after fitting a CAM normally you would get the ECU remapped at the same time too.

like i said, it will see you around 120-130 bhp depending on you engines current state, how good it is / was built + who does the job. So many other tweaks here and there but i'v listed the main ones.

Yup, PM him, nice chap, his got a mk1 black vtr its nice, and his can leave a standard VTS ! off the mark and more... his the one i took the idea of 'relocating the air filter' instead of the much more expensive and imho pretty pointless for what they cost 'enclosed induction kits'.

14th August 2006, 21:49
