Raceland buddy, very cheap yet good gains and good build and welds etc are good.. Dont think the others are worth the extra money tbh!

Predator_R32^p · 22nd May 2007, 00:30

i know but dont really want to be relocating the filter tbh and im wanting something different, someone was saying supersprint are quite good

gmc do a 4-2-1 for the vtr as far as im aware.. some mild and some stainless

riggsy · 22nd May 2007, 01:17

You want the 4-1 as its a vtr you want more power top end!

Id say gmc...

Predator_R32^p · 22nd May 2007, 01:30

gmc only do 4-1 mate, says on there site they make all there manifolds 4-1

i think its down to GMC and a supersprint at the moment, just wanting to know if anyone had a janspeed

riggsy · 22nd May 2007, 01:31

Predator_R32^p · 22nd May 2007, 01:53

well im just getting some decisions for the moment before i ring, i did try and get a group buy, he said see how many people you can get then get back to me and ill see what i can do but there was only 2 of use wanted one at that time

gmc as its a decent fit unlike the others and the SS will be a good quality fanimold... think u need some sort of sleeve for a sensor too..

Mark51^p · 22nd May 2007, 07:14

janspeed ones are made of mild steel and dont seem to be a great fit either. becasue its mild steel it can rust and if your centre pipe is full stainless steel then this car wear away the manifold as they are different types of steel.

as for re-locating the oil filter, i have trid and gave up and i only know one person on here that has had a go and actually done it, banger007 i think.

i would go GMC.

Mark51^p · 22nd May 2007, 07:19

this is the only Supersprint i could find and it sounds as if its for a mk1

looks like you've already pretty much made your mind up!

I bought a Raceland, and i couldn't be happier with it, frees up the revs no end! and defiately more responsive! Raceland ftw!

i thought you could just replace it with a mk1 oil filter as their smaller? could be wrong though! infact porbably are lol

jimbo06 · 22nd May 2007, 09:24

Out of the 4 stated i would go for the gmc 4-1.

CampDavid · 22nd May 2007, 09:37

Race land because its a cheap version of the Supersprint, only £119 from KamRacing

GMC because its a well designed 4-1 by BTB exhausts, who are FG

Supersprint is too expencive

Jansport - I had a Jansport system on my 306 Rallye. It was wank

i wish it was that simple,
you have to take the oil filter off and the filter housing off
then use a mk1 insert and then screw a mk1 filter on to that
then relocate the oil pressure switch with a new sensor on the end of it
then (the hardest part) you have to block up the oil return valve on the engine block. sounds easy but its not.
i spend ages trying to find something and/or someone that i could block the hole up with. i was going to weld it but didnt want to fook it up. then i was going to tap a thread into the block but didnt want to risk cracking the block. sealant wouldnt of held it in place for long and anything else i found that fit meant i couldnt fit the oil filter on properly and "vice versa"

is it only the raceland that you have to relocate the oil filter?
