what else?

[samueljonburgess]

basically...

the car has cda airbox, 4-2-1 mani, straight pipe, vtr inlet, camed (cat cam, cant remeber profile) needs a map
basically what else could i do....

head work? much gains?
standalone ecu any good on a car that is only camed?

lightened fly wheel is on the list
what about the crank-altinator pulleys... worth the money?


thanks for you help :)

[frankie]

personally, myself in your situation...

map and some lightweight pulley.

£550, bang tidy.

[samueljonburgess]

ye thats what i was thinkin just get it mapped and the lighter fly... then save for a new toy

[frankie]

or a few track days?

thats what im planning, im going to purchase the lighter crank pulley, and thats it.

save for track days...

[samueljonburgess]

ye i spose... i never feel its ready tho haha.... iam lookin for 100bhp after the map not to bad for a first car and a 1.4 i didnt think.... and thats about 120bhp per ton :)

[frankie]

couldnt see you being far off 100 tbh.

gearbox? thought about that?

[samueljonburgess]

1.1? i dont want it to have a high top end just acceleration :)

A Car is ready from the factory to go on the track!

You could get standalone and bodies, only wasted money there is the inlet manifold and the mapping, the rest can be swapped onto a bigger better engine then mapped up again.

[samueljonburgess]

ye but theres bigger better things out there haha its not fast enough yet to be able to go out and look half decent

[frankie]

xsi box?

pretty sure thats better than the 1.1's acceleration wise.

[samueljonburgess]

o rite didnt know that... and that should have the same size drive shafts aswell?

[Mochachino]

xsi box?

pretty sure thats better than the 1.1's acceleration wise.

the 1.1 is about the same as vts, 1.4xsi box would be ideal. Anything less than that isnt worth it on an 8valve with its short rev range unless you map it with higher rpm. IMO.

[frankie]

ive got one, that why i mentioned it...

still getting 40mpg, just when you gun it or on the motorway...its not worth thinking about lol.

[samueljonburgess]

xsi box and lighter fly should go together nicely :)

would love to run trumpets on it but think it would be such a waste :(

Well like i said, only waste would be the manifold and the map.

i think foggy runs itbs on his 1.4 rally car on here, have a search.

Also get a VTR/VTS flywheel, will also need the vtr/vts 200mm clutch.

Cant rmemebr the reason these are better or if its not just chinese whispers, have alook into that aswell on rallye reg or somthing.

[samueljonburgess]

cheers for the help guys :) and ill look into the vts/r fly and clutch... its beacause they are stronger i think ii read somwhere

[frankie]

if you need one...

ive got a rallye one or a 98hp vtr one :D

[samueljonburgess]

clutch? or fly or both??

dont really want the fly as id get a lighter one... and would the clutchs fit the furio internals?

No matter what you do to your engine your car wont be "fast" on track compared to the other cars out there, so i wouldn't worry about the 5 or 10 extra hp you mite be able to get.

[samueljonburgess]

ye i spose... want to get it running to the best it can tho....

[mike_gally]

isnt the idea to track your car for you to enjoy and not worry about faster cars

[samueljonburgess]

o no i would enjoy it... obv its not guna be the fastest out there as its a 1.4.... but id like it to go aswell as it could...

Driver skill is the biggest factor, followed by tyres and suspension.
