'52 Saxo VTR

[dolby20]

Hi, I've put a deposit down for a 2002 Saxo VTR
So it has the 98bhp engine
It's very very standard
I was looking at modifications

I have read about manifolds and exhaust systems as well as induction kits

So far I've decided
Raceland 4-2-1
Cat back system with 4" tail pipe
Induction 'bucket' to to the front valance with filter inside

Anything else?
Not too serious like cams/ecu/throttle bodies

But not stupid like eBay superchips and superchargers!

Thank you

if you get the 4-2-1 you have to change the oil filter arrangement to the mk1 style. for the sake of it buy the raceland 4-1 from kam then you dont have to mess about

[dolby20]

See I was reading that, and wanted to be sure of which one to go with
Some say 4-2-1 is better for VTR
Some say 4-1 is better for VTS

Any agreement?

[Saxotim]

tbh you're not going to see a massive difference in power between the two i dont think, might as well just fit the 4-1 clicky

unless you REALLY want a 4-2-1 then change the filter up to you at the end of the day!

i would just get the 4-2-1 mani mate the oil filter moving is easy peasy!

4-2-1 4-2-1 4-2-1

[dolby20]

I think it will be 4-2-1 in the end then!
Any recommendations?

[Saxotim]

supersprint if you dont want to move the oil filter but it comes at a price
raceland if you can be fussed to move it

[joe333]

well if you dont wont to spend that much get the raceland mate! thats what i have!

[dolby20]

Hmmm
Is that the only 'benefit' of supersprint over raceland?

[Saxotim]

apparently its made a lot better than the raceland and sometimes with racelands you have to slightly jig it to fit so iv heard but either will do the job.

on a budget: raceland.
big budget: supersprint

+1

ive also found piper and janspeed

how do they compare?

[Saxotim]

piper stuff is spot on but pricey, janspeed manifolds are mild steel iirc so wont last like the stainless ones

[dolby20]

so raceland - cheap and cheerful - with some work
piper and supersprint - pricey but easy install
?

[Saxotim]

pretty much yeah, tbh some racelands do just slip on, its hit and miss with them

edit: but for the price you cant complain

[dolby20]

probably go with that then, and just work with moving/altering the oil filter
