what are the best engine mods for a vtr

[v2r_vtr1]

anyone got any suggestions as to what are the best engine mods to do to a vtr to get the most power. apart from turboing it

[Japman]

Cam 4-2-1 manifold enclosed enduction kit,throttle boddies or supercharger

[VTS_16v_Boy]

Simple breathering mods like Induction kits and performance exhaust can increase performance, Cam would be the next step along with a remap.

after that its really gona get expensive, ported and polished head, throttle bodies, supercharging and turbocharging are the top end tuning items.

Most people stop at cams and remaps due to budget but if you got the cash then sky's the limit really :y:

[v2r_vtr1]

ive already done the 4-2-1 but what would be best to do after that the cam or the induction kit

[Ryan]

16v...

[Ryan]

cams are more money as you will want a remap.

8vs respond quite well to breathing mods.

[v2r_vtr1]

16v...

i dont really want the hassle of an engine change

[v2r_vtr1]

wat would be the best induction kit to get

[Ryan]

wat would be the best induction kit to get

imo green enclosed.

[GTI_Lee]

Green enclosed or BMC!

[VTS_16v_Boy]

Any of the leading brands when it comes to enclosed induction kits really.

Personally If you have started with exhaust you might as well finsh it, go for a decent performance exhaust - any of the four leading brands Magnex/Janspeed/Piper/Scropion will perform pretty much the same give or take alittle :y:

Leave the induction kit for later as the somepeople think the standard airbox is pretty good with a panel filter that can be picked up for about £30

I have a Magnex cat-back system, Piperx foam filter and a GMC 4-1 manifold which is coming tommorrow! I am going to change the piperx filter for a green enclosed as the open filters loose performance! Although with these mods I should gain a bit of power, not sure how much though, unless someone could tell me? When I find out, I will let you know the figures mate and that will maybe give you an idea on what to buy for you're VTR! :P

[bullit]

your prob looking around 10 mate

[Predator_R32]

same mate about 10, with cam and remap expect a little bit more maybe 5 - 7

[bullit]

loads more pred

[GTI_Lee]

What do you reckon i would have to do to get to somewhere like VTS power? Sorry about thread hijack! lol!

[Jackman]

What do you reckon i would have to do to get to somewhere like VTS power?

drop a VTS in.

[GTI_Lee]

Oh right! Dont fancy doing that! lol! think i'll just get manifold in and then cams and remap!

[bullit]

cam, pulley, remap atleast.

[Predator_R32]

loads more pred

what would it take my car up to you reckon then mate??

ive got a full magnex and green enclosed, will be getting cam and manifold (4-1) and then a remap will i be any close to that of a VTS??

[bullit]

easily yeah, change pulley aswell. cam and remap should see around 15 maybe more.

[GTI_Lee]

How much would cam and remap cost fitted?

[S34MER]

same mate about 10, with cam and remap expect a little bit more maybe 5 - 7

5-7bhp with a remap :oops:

more like 15-17bhp

[S34MER]

How much would cam and remap cost fitted?

depends how wild you want to go!

but on average about £500-£800

[Predator_R32]

really that much bloody hell im getting that done for sure then :y:

[Lee123]

Its a bit pointless going crazy with a vtr, like most people say if you can afford the insurance the best performance increase for the money would be to just buy a vts engine.

[VTS_16v_Boy]

Hmmmm I do agree to a point about not going to mad on the 8v but then I personally say the same thing about tuning the 16v.

Unless you plan to keep the car more than a year or two its not worth going to silly
