Cheers all maybe I won't bother just strip every last bit out of it and fit a 4-1 mani then get a custom made centre section with 200cel cat
maybe I'll go boost instead of a vts swap or vts and boost

My advice would be: if you want more out of the VTR lump and don't want to be disappointed, boost it.

Shouldnt be if you swap the whole head over. 1.6 xsis had domed pistons and used that head with no issues, vtrs have flat ones so I dont think there should be any problems

To be fair you'll sell the head again easy enough if you get bored of 8v, they are in demand on the right forums at least

I disagree lads, I fitted piper 285, to my silvertop and has been great fun, done it all myself and that made it even better I think( cheaper) , all I will say is that when you have the head off have it skimmed the min clean the ports out/ get rid off bits of sloppy cast, lap the valves in after you clean them, and will be much sharper, done 3000 mile not mapped or even timed to piper spec, never had a prob, runs perfect, if doing yourself won't cost more then 400, I think tho all engines differ in performance even as standard
