Engine Mods to 130-160bhp????

[bigbadboy]

Folks, i have a mk2 vts in standars engine form and was wondering how many horses i could get out of the engine with a few basic mods. i know im currently pushing out about 120 horses but looking at anywhere between 130 up to even maybe 160. These are the sort of mods i was looking at :
(NOTE: I havent got any of these parts yet but was looking for advice and/or recomendations for certain porducts)

Full BMC Carbon Air induction kit
Full Stainless Steel Exhaust System including SS 4-2-1 manifold
new kent cams
ECU re-map
P&P head

are there any other mods that are fairly cheap??? (e.g. things like tubo/supercharging and throttle body upgrades are way to expensive and will be doing them later)

Thanks

BMC
Supersprint 4-2-1
Newman PH3 Cams
P&P Head
REMAP
would see you a good gain up around 150-160 possibly

do you know that for a fact you have 120bhp? you'd be suprised how much you will have lost from new.

Have a look at catcams 708's or newman ph3's
Could have a look at also getting the current throttle body p&p theres a guy on here that does it for £25 IIRC
Also a good remap should see you reaching something like 150 atw something like that

you bugger just as i was typing aswell :n:

and you did it in less words :wall:

i was gonna say hes probably lost a few from new aswell, you could port and polish the throttle bodie, i can reccomend it, spencer on here does it, check my progress thread for pics.

green enclosed made alot more power

seconded being one of those cars both rollers ive been on they said the bmc was shit for the spec

[blackie_2k5]

me thinks my next buy will buy a panel filter for my standard box, not to thread jack but k&n or green, have heard good things about green, and a nice cold airfeed

[AlexB]

imo a raceland with green is about spot on

personally im going jenvey

to get the desired power could simply fit some catcam 708s or for a cheaper and exqually good alternative fit newmans ph3s

Leave the head alone and a decent performance exhaust and induction kit and a good manifold. Should be pushing on 160bhp with that lot

[bigbadboy]

cheers 4 the advice guys after all this lot is done (induction, exhaust/main, cams, head etc.) what should i be looking at doing to get even more power?
Oh and by the way i dnt know its EXACTLY 120hp but around that how many horses would it of lost? 20003 spec VTS 35k oc

Exhaust/manifold and induction usually sees 135-140bhp on the rollers, set of cams, you're looking at about 150, and a remap and you're looking 155-160.
