westcoast - Saxperience

jamiep · 14th October 2006, 21:04

Iv heard westcoasts are not that far behind vtrs in power so will a 4 branch manifold, full exhaust system, decat and filter make it possibly the same?

Josh_Phipps · 14th October 2006, 21:10

1.1 westcoast? or 1.4

i think either way and with those mods you wont be near vts standards tbh.

all those mods proberly 15 bhp if your lucky... but thats my opinion

Barry123 · 14th October 2006, 21:23

westcoast is a mk1 so im presuming you are referring to a mk1 vtr.
in which case there is only 15bhp difference.

not sure on the mods mind

Sean · 14th October 2006, 22:24

lol@ 15bhp for those mods. try half that if you're lucky. and a vtr will still rip you for torque although iirc you have a slightly shorter gearbox (final drive). don't bother spending money tuning the 1.4, put either a vtr bottom end on it or just vts it (you could pick up a decent 16 valver for the cost of a full exhaust, manifold and filter, as long as you fit it yourself the cost will be near enough the same).

Lol m8
Manifold
De-cat
Exhaust
Induction kit

That is more than 7bhp, I can tell you that for nothing... Even if you got 20 bhp off them mods which you cant it would only be matching a vts, even then a vts has a shorter gear ratio i think so it will still win

1.4 is WestCoast, 1.1 is the EastCoast. Both Mk1 :thumbup:

Sorry i didnt relise

willsy · 15th October 2006, 00:02

thats ok no worries

As for the topic question it would take plenty more £££ for a westcoast to match a VTR. Ud have to dig deeper into your pockets

Josh_Phipps · 15th October 2006, 00:15

I say VTS lump

jamiep · 15th October 2006, 00:50

Wont be much more than 7 mate. Wont be anywhere near a vts.

K-R · 15th October 2006, 02:09

i thought he wanted 2 be close a to a vtr... not vts

you keep believing what you read in max power mate, personally i live in the real world where real bhp increases cost real money.

Mark51^p · 15th October 2006, 14:52

the 1.4 saxos are slower than the vtr's but they do keep up on set off until the higher end of the revs then the vtr's just pull away

jamiep · 16th October 2006, 00:23

lol ye i do live in the real world! i do mean a vtr not vts sorry my fault i worded it wrong when i started the thread! shouldv put vtr's........i no it wont be any where near a vts most of my mates have gtis and they really go......think best option is to get the outside done then save for conversion!

Josh_Phipps · 16th October 2006, 00:26

those mods your looking at 10 bhp im thinking,

Josh_Phipps · 16th October 2006, 00:26

Ill soon have a dyno to see what difference its made.
