will a raceland 4-2-1 manifold fit a 2002 vts without having to move anything? and also do you think a 4-2-1 is best for a vts? thanks

Hi Craig,

It won't go straight on. You have the cat in the mani and a different oil filter that will foul the Raceland. To get around it needs a little jiggery pokery so if you don't want to go that route then look at the supersprint. (pricier but very very good.)

You can fit a sandwich plate and fit a remote oil filter or you can replace the current thread and filter with a mk1 one. There is a hole that needs blocking also.

Kam are you sure? I thought it was only vtr's that had the cat in the manifold and the different oil filter setup, all VTS have them underneath (IIRC) please correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure im not.

mine fit snugg mate, and its a '03 so yours should be the same.

might have to reroute the lambda sensor so theres not as much strain on it

yeah cat is not in the manifold on a vts, the raceland should go stright on as it is shapped around the oil filter

thanks for all the help! so a raceland is the way to go then? and also would you use a raceland induction kit or go for a bmc? cheers

manifold should go straight on, will have to sleeve your Lambda sensor i woulda thought though?

would you so there is much of a noticable difference between bmc and raceland induction? and also whats involved when you say lambda sensor may need sleeving?thanks

there honestly isnt probably much difference in performance between the two.
the Raceland is a shite site cheaper too.
Contact KamRacing he sells both ;)
In the manifold of a VTS there is a sensor which reads the airflow,
this will need to be put into a sleeve and tied out the way if the raceland doesnt have a hole for it to screw into.

does anybody who has a raceland fitted to a vts no if they come with a hole for the lambda?

yes they do.

if you have 2 though you need a sleeve from gmc

The build quality is a lot better on the BMCs, performance wise (assuming you get a decent filter in the Raceland) I don't think there'll be that much in it. Not enough for you to notice.

The 2nd lambda sensorr needs to be tricked into detecting clean air like it would after the cat. So it gets put in a sleeve and tucked out the way.
