[Liam-westcoast]

any help appreciated

from having a conversion previously myself, its cheaper and less hassel just to buy a vtr mate...

if you dont declare the engine and you get caught= means bad times with high fines points etc..

if you do declare it on insurance it will cost more than a normal vtr would...

so... think about the costs and consequences first

what is the insurance like on that

I'm also looking into doing this and as far as I know so far it's just the engine, loom and unlocked ECU.

waste of time and money for an extra 15bhp.....:n:fail

[dynebaruk]

You can pick up a vtr engine for £250 quite easily. Engine mods to gain 15bhp would be alot more than £250.

Mk2 vtr engine would gain an extra 23bhp.

^^ only if you got an mk2 engine mate.your alot better fitting a mk1 engine to a mk1 saxo and same with mk2's as then chaging and re-wiring the loom becomes abit complicated

Yeah I said mk2 engine.

Even if you changed to a mk1 engine, the bhp-to-cost value is still better than modding the 1.4 engine, and it leaves more scope for upgrading the engine in the future.

Obviously the vts engine would ultimately be the best but the insurance cost will shoot up.

de-cat super chip breathing mods easy more then 23bhp and can all be bought cheaply

[dynebaruk]

I wouldn't say that 23bhp would be gained from a "superchip" and breathing mods, and they would still cost more than the £250.

correct mate! from just these mods you will see only a difference of 5-6bhp sometimes you can lose bhp!
