how much?

[saxo2]

how much would it cost to convert my vtr to a vts,? its just a thought,:P

[MTR]

More than is worth it. Certainly more than buying a VTS IMHO.

[Jaytee]

its only worth doin conversion tbh if u have put a shit load of money into your and dont want to lose it all.
Or you have a 1.1 and are goin for sleeper of doom lol.

[pat_man_vts]

i suppose if you knew someone who worked at a breakers well, you could get a high milage vts lump for like £500 if you were very lucky, but for a decentish engine your looking at double that easy, plus all the work and other parts...

imo, not worth it, if you want a vts, sell the vtr and buy one

[Easty]

easier just getting a VTS mate.. only worth doing if you're moving up from a 1.1

[williamsvts]

it can be done for under 1k mate. depends if you wnat teh engien this minute, if you keep your eye open you cna get them cheap, my mate got his for £350, or you could get a c2 engien and use the vts inlet ecu etc. you could fit it yourself or try and get someone off the forum to do it for a bit dollar. i do it for £150 but i cnat be arsed to drive to kent :P

people that are saying its not worth it, have you ever done?

[VTS_16v_Boy]

Alot of the costs is really in finding and buying the lump itself as removing and refitting the block isnt rocket sience but if you havent got the time of space to do it then having somebody proffesional do it could hike the price of the conversion up alot.

I agree with tuning the 8v enjoying the car then if you want to go 16v buy a new car as by then you might even want a change of brand or size of car.

[Predator_R32]

can pick up a decent engine for cheap, if you can fit it yourself its a bonus :y:

[S34MER]

you could get a VTS lump fitted in your VTR for about £700-£800 with ease mate! but then you have the extra insurance, tax and running costs to account for too, then when it comes to sell up time, well...................GOOD LUCK!

[williamsvts]

my mate has just sold his r - s conversioned saxo for 1600. think that was an T plate.

[riggsy]

Deff worth it!

Wish i kept my vtr and did it sometimes.

[Ste]

100% of VTR to S converted saxos have been ragged senseless....

So if you get a vts engine with low mileage then its prob worth it but tbh if you cant fit it yourself then its gonna get expensive, along with getting the ECU unlocked....
