[saxobutty]

i have a saxo westcoast and im after sum advice on how to add some extra bhp. at the minute i just have a k+n induction kit, and a custom ss cat-back system..i was thinking de-cat and manifold, but dont i need to be generating more power first..

So why u askin??

[saxobutty]

i wanted peoples input on how to add sum bhp to a 1.4 engine. ie "get new cams, re-map ecu etc". "get a vts"..... thanks for that

[patrick2403]

didnt say get a vts i said get a vts engine thats what im planning for my vtr because it will work out the same price as a gettin it cammed and a decent manifold, have a search mate in the forums and see what other people have done.

[vts165]

get a cat back exhaust, de-cat pipe, 4-2-1 manifold and an induction kit and you'll see some difference....

then when you can get the insurance get a vts....

so do u think i will see much of a difference if i add a de-cat pipe and manifold? i just want to work out if its worth doing, coz if it onli adds 2-3 bhp theres not really much point..

[vts165]

with everything that ive listed you should see a good increase...

[saxobutty]

funny guy yate5y. well i already have the cat back system and induction kit, but to be honest i cant say its made any difference. do u think adding a de-cat and manifold will?

[vts165]

yea they should do...will also make it bit louder aswell....

[saxobutty]

lol, it will be stupidly loud then. your looking at around £200+ for a manifold arent u?

[patrick2403]

yeah for about 3bhp increase dunno how much for the de car pipe, what filter u got? enclosed or open?

[saxobutty]

i have an open k+n, i know enclosed would be beta. is their any way of making it enclosed without buying a new induction kit, or any way of forcing more cold air in?

[dirt_geezer]

buy me vts engine 400 quid 500 fitted

[riggsy]

get a bmc matey youll see gains then i promise i have one smileys/smiley4.gif

deff get manifold

[saxobutty]

im not sure they do the bmc for a mk1 westcoast. if they do ive never seen one

[Scott]

BMC is a universal filter box it only comes in different sizes so it can be made to fit your car

[saxobutty]

oh rite, ill look into it then
