i cant believe how stupid citroen dealership employees are when it comes to parts, they can never fink outside the box! silly lil workers

Has anyone else had a problem with the lower mount on the exhaust not reaching the gearbox? Ive fitted 2 to vtr's and havnt bolted them to the gear box as the bracket didnt reach. But am thinking of getting one for my vts and wanted to make sure it was bolted on there, my standard isnt as the bolts missing.

Any one got a pic of one bolted on to the box? Or a pic of a standard vts one bolted on as on the exploded parts diagram it looks like it has a stud spacer and then a nut where as my mates vtr's were just bolts going straight in to the box.

i didnt have a problem with mine, but have herd of people not having it line up, best way is to test fit then modify to ur car. i dont think i have a pic of it sorry m8

Awsome thread fella answered alot of questions i had

just on the lamda sensor side the 1 in the top of the cat gos behind your engine and into the hole where the sensor use to be after your cat

and that sensor gos cabled tied to the battery tray with some copper tubing reading clean air

defo worth some rep

fantastic guide will be fitting mine on saturday

adnandunn · 2nd January 2008, 12:55

could any one tell me what power diffrence they gained from changing to raceland manifold?

mods de cat straight through exhaust enclosed induction

The_Notorious_C_A_T · 2nd January 2008, 13:17

I'm pretty much running the same as that, maybe revs quicker but would need a power run to see if any real difference, as noise could just be a placebo to make you think you're going quicker

FinchysSaxo · 2nd January 2008, 15:32

thanks very much

well im running at 90.6bhp in my furio with pretty much the same, except mine is a twin exit, came on car so avent wasted money changin it as getting a vts. well worth getting done

im not sure lol it was really late and i was rambling but is that correct what i said if you can make any sense of it lmao

FinchysSaxo · 2nd January 2008, 18:10

ye m8 lol i fink so haha

RedB · 2nd January 2008, 18:25

Good guide mate, clear pics and spot on info

How long did it take total and do you need axle stands etc?

has moving the labda sensor made any difference at all like fuelling or anything?

RedB · 2nd January 2008, 18:26

Getting my SS manifold and some other things next week, cant wait now

Was going to get this done at the garage but i might do it myself so i can clean the whole block and smooth/polish the ports

FinchysSaxo · 2nd January 2008, 18:31

definetly do it yourself m8, im sure ur mechanical minded. you get satisfaction that you have actually done something to the performance yourself, plus so much cheaper

Cheers bud

Do you need axle stands to raise the car up or can you use jacks...
Lambda sensor question asked above?

Hopefully learn how to use a laptop to map cars and create custom maps for track/street/RR after the next stage of my car is finished

FinchysSaxo · 2nd January 2008, 18:40

i used axle stands as i didnt want a saxo on my face, i wudnt take the risk.

sorry m8 didnt see that, mine pops like a bitch so i reckon its running a bit rich, bit hard to tell on consumption as the fuel prices are truely taking the piss now.

klkl ye that would be good, i dont plan to do anymore on my furio looking for a black vts. iv got a flocked dash coming but not putting it in furio

haha can barely get anything under mine let alone a head

How can you really tell how lean/rich you are running without expensive equipment?
Prices are a joke, but i still use V-power

Mapping would be sweet as i could map people's cars at meets/events with just a laptop and some simple gear plus when i get a slice of Turbo in a few years that would be a mint tool

Pics of the flock dash when it arrives

was that on the group buy?
More info needed on it now lol

FinchysSaxo · 2nd January 2008, 18:56

ye haha same.

umm i think air fuel ratio gauge u can tell, dunno if mine wud go crazy thow. wud like to try one out. fair play lol i used to but felt no difference.

ye would be gd, i would like to be able to change maps while in the car. to try conserve petrol in traffic etc. but still be able to boot it and stick with vtr's, zetec s's lol.

ye as soon as it arrives il get some up. ye sure was but i had to source another dash as didnt want to take furio apart, plus posting was a challenge. hopefully should be coming my way this week

RedB · 2nd January 2008, 19:01

Good luck with it all fella

Plenty of pics/videos of mine will be around after the next 3 weeks
Lots happening before the RR day on 26th going to be sweet
