power figures FAQ! advise wanted.
 

right im looking at performance upgrades and want to know what realistic power + performace figures i will reach from following mods, also what is the price of a remap?

eccosse carbon induction (scoop style)
cams
adjustable pulleys
remap
4-2-1 manifold with decat and no centre silencer

start car is 98bhp saxo VTR. thanks Toby

Really it all depends on the cam's m8, the rest of the breather mod's arent going to really take effect until the cams are in and its been mapped!

think there kent 708's? not sure any help? iv been trying to find out,

didn't think they did a 708 profile for the vtr and by the way cam is the correct term when it comes to vtr as it only has 1 m8 ;) by the way i have heard that the 285 profile is good for a vtr try qep as they deal with cat cams which i hear many good things about

yeh i know my stuff when it comes to mechanics, 8V single CAM lol no its a specific cam im being offered, just trying to find out.

can anybody give me a ballpark figure with said mods?

ok its a kent cam and pulley kit, pt 40 266 duration. anybody want to explain this to me?

nobody??

BUMP!!

Depends how well its done. But as its a late engines the original valve springs, rockers and ECU are very limiting so don’t expect miracles. You could always go for a full cam kit with springs, caps, rockers, pully and cam. That will open you up to much greater gains than just the cam. £400 plus for a good map as well.

yeh i wasnt expecting it to be masssive maybe around the 125bhp mark with all the work done?

would be more power per pounds if you stuck a vts engine in mate

going to be looking at around 2k to drop in a VTS PROPERLY!
when all this will cost around 1k and should give same if not better performance.

with

gmc 4-1 manifold
pugsport
filter
kent 266 cam


my quiky which is running a 98bh vtr engine made 124.5 bhp a month ago



thats without a remap also and it runs perfectly fine and idles fine once warmed up

what dose your car idle at warmed up?

Vtr with 120bhp won't be as quick as a stock Vts.
The vtr box is much longer!

well dials say 1k but on diagnostic machine is was showing just under



tends to touch about 1800rpm for a few secs and then slowly drops but it idles about 1300rpm till it warms up but after a few mins its perfectly fine

see i say thats bollox cos i fine my vtr box perfectly fine in all gears



and till 80mph mine will stick by a vts pretty damn well

Mine idles like below the 1k mark:n:

it should do so far as i know they idle at about 850k




you can also fit a 285 cam with a remap and it will run as smooth as it did with standard cam in im told by a good source


think in new year im going for the 285 and remap so im hopeful of hitting around the 140bhp mark :)

I'm hoping to get around 130BHP with the same mods including headwork and a remap when I get my VTR engine in.
