what bhp do you think my vtr engine will have?

[joshmega]

its a mk1 silver top its has a janspeed 4-2-1 manifold, powerflow cat back exhaust and enclossed induction kit and has just had the head re built and has been cammed with fast road catcams??

[blackie_2k5]

100bhp

[saxova]

Put these numbers in a imaginary hat;

90bhp
97bhp
103bhp
107bhp
111bhp

I've just shook the hat now pick a number... :y:

:detective:

[Ryan]

as long as the piece of string im currently holding.









Depending on the cams about 100-110.

[Gandi699]

what cam is fitted?

[mlawlan69]

enough to do 60 in second.

[Gandi699]

That all depends on his rev limit

bouncing?!

[LSOfreak]

well realistically, the filter and exhaust system probably give you back the ponies youve lost over the years, if not, give or take 1 or 2 bhp

and it depends on what cam you used. Im guessing you mean catcam 708's? have you had it remapped? if not then it would probably be at about 100-110

708s in an 8v.


Good luck with that :)

[Saxovch22]

100-110bhp realistically

[joshmega]

I'm going to get a power graph soon too see what it actually is

[joshmega]

I had it on the dyno today and got 110 so pretty pleased with the result!

[AlexB]

wanna know an annoying fact
i made 110 in my vtr with standard cam :P

pointless post by me

[joshmega]

Haha did you have the 98 bhp engine mine is 90 so gained 20 bhp

[m4tt274]

most ph2 VTRs will make 110ish with a 4/2/1.
the powerflow wont be the best flowing i would imagine.
but regardless, it will be around 100.

[jeffchiz]

if you dont mind me asking how much did the cam/head recon, manifold, exhaust and filter set you back?

[AlexB]

Haha did you have the 98 bhp engine mine is 90 so gained 20 bhp

yea a ragged as fuck one but a 98

[joshmega]

Ok, quite a lot 60 for induction 80 for manifold power flow cat back seconded hand 80 but the cam cost 260 and fitted 260 by pug1off and they supplied me the engine and for some reason when they put the new cam on said they had proplems so the re built the head for free which was good so about 800ish

[blackie_2k5]

if you dont mind me asking how much did the cam/head recon, manifold, exhaust and filter set you back?

more then its worth

[joshmega]

True, but your never going to get money back on mods, in not bothered about loosing the money I enjoy doing it, so it's alright

[harry289]

£800 on engine performance mods to make 110bhp? Jesus.

[joshmega]

Yeh 800 on a car ill be keeping for ages 20 bhp is quite good for that I think

[mlawlan69]

Yeh 800 on a car ill be keeping for ages 20 bhp is quite good for that I think

If i told you a vts engine would have been half the price and given 120 bhp standard, would you be annoyed?

[harry289]

Yeh 800 on a car ill be keeping for ages 20 bhp is quite good for that I think

No it's not good tbh

[joshmega]

I'm not stupid mate lol I know what a vts standard is I can't get insured on a vts/Gti I've put a the vtr engine in my 106 quicksilver as I blew up my old engine and I put the vtr in because its identical to the 1.4 engine, so considering it supposed to be 75 bhp I'm happy with it so my answer to that is no

[harry289]

They are similar. Not identical. How much more was it to insure the 106 quicksilver with a cammed 1.6 8v engine with modified exhaust and air intake?

No extra man!!!

Its called being uninsured!!

except for the fact it's totally different, and 200cc more you mean?

I hope you've declared the swap to your insurance company?

[joshmega]

Pretty much the same hardly noticable

[Ross]

Pretty much the same hardly noticable

are you actually serious?

You're uninsured if you've not declared that change.

[MaRiO89]

Although he has clearly not declared the engine change, an insurance company probably wouldn't check that anyway in an accident. Also i bet most people on this site haven't declared all their modifications such as alloys, ICE, lowering springs, exhausts etc etc..He will have problems when MOT time comes and the engine number is wrong for the car, HA!

I dont condone what he is doing btw, but he isn't the only one..

so what do ppl whove have replacement engines do..

[MaRiO89]

You notify the DVLA and it gets put on their database i think.

[jpsaxo]

You have to declare any engine change on your log book which changes your tax charges & your insurance group...

Otherwise you might as well not bother with insurance at all tbh

[AlexB]

so what do ppl whove have replacement engines do..

if its a 16v like for like just change the cam belt covers when there both out :homme:
*i do not condone doing this to hide the fact a car has had and engine change!!*

[Ross]

alex - he's saying he's putting a vtr engine in to replace the furio engine as "it's almost identical". I presume he means visibly, as obviously there are some fundamental differences internally.

What you're doing is insurance fraud.

[AlexB]

i know i was just trolling about how stupid the french are putting the number on a removeable part of 16vs
(im aware theres one by crank sensor on the block too but 90% of the time its to corroded to read)
