1.4 8v head on vtr bottom end ?, surely the vtr head is better than the 1.4 head.

no way it could be hitting 140mph and slaying VTS's with just being cammed.

lies imo.

they are very over rated.. my old vtr used to be a very even race with my mates 03 plate 180.. it also ran low 16's high 15's all day..

Its not about power its about weight ;) skinny people can run faster than faties see it that way ;)

The 180 will be quick.. My mate has a GTI 138 and that is quicker than VTRs easily so a 180 would leave it for dust

180s are shit,end of! My brother used to have a vtr bottom end,big valve head and a cam in his S1 rallye and it was rampant so this guy isnt bullshiting that much..

Yes but VTR's are 98bhp and the car in question is approx 130bhp and lighter than a vtr.

if its an xsi head on a vtr motor with a camshaft 140 is only slightly optimistic tbh

if its a westy head then not much over 115-120 but it would be very quick s1 106s are light

Paired with the 1.4 xsi box,i bet this thing goes well.

heres one to laugh at. hes claimin his vts is 150bhp with the following:
4 branch manifold
supersprint centre section
scorpion back box
simoto forced induciton

id say giving the year of it, it would be lucky to see 130bhp

Bad example, fat isn't directly relative to weight etc. Usaine Bolt weights just shy of 15 stone.. so more than the average man. /uFail
