mk2 1.1 running mk2 vtr inlet

[woodysaxo]

Hi, after not getting much help from any1 on this site and being told its a waste of my time and money i thought emmm, stick my fingure up tae you's and went ahead and stuck it on!! Why ave a vts that every1 has and had done the same modifcations boring, people want to be different so let them, its their car, their money and their time are they really hurting you?? or u scared of gettin blown but 1.1 turbo in ya vts?? hehehe ;)

Okay i was worried for a wee while over idle 4K revs, on start up etc
a change of map sensor and idle control an now two days later, its perfect on idle you wouldnt notice a difference from standard inlet, but put ya footdown and it pulls soo much better just pulls past 5 soo much better.... and the noise from induction :D

So for any1 with a 1.1 and want an earlier throttle response and improved topend pull fit a vtr inlet, will cost you lyk £30 quid max for inlet and throttle body, just make sure its the right one,

mk1 manifold 00-00
mk2 manifold 0-0-0-0

next plan running vtr/1.4 cams, because according to kent cams they wont reprofile 1.1, so thinking thicker gasket to allow room for the higher lift.

but a turbo is planned :) and it can be done on low boost with no problems, as reading a member use to run a 1.1 with a turbo.

hi mate just bought a 1.4 westcoast n used to have a vtr n i want the power back so ive bought a 4-2-1 and heard a vtr inlet would help abit. did u feel much differences?

I'd go straight for boot vtr inlet won't make enough of a difference to warrant the cost even if it's only £20/£30. In my personal experience a 1.1 with boost is only worth it if everything is done yourself using 2nd hand parts cheap otherwise I would change engines/car.

Would be pretty fun if you did it in a flat ach and kept steelies and wheel trims

Hi,yea well concidering stated inlet on 1.1 is like the size of a 10p, but putting vtr inlet its now twice/three times the size.

You will have problems running it so have to change sensors around (mix and match vtr and 1.1 sensors) and have a play about but it can be done. The ecu will take a little while to adjust but it does work.

After i changed it, it seemed to pull sooooo much better after 4,000 rpm i hadnt seen 100 so much lol.
