Tigz™ Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 there is a 1.6 Polo around with over 200bhp without the use of forced induction. As far as I remember he was talking about £10'000 just for the engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think its £8000 drive in drive out.If you planned a trip down to them to get it done, go round the ring and come back, you wouldnt see much change from £11000.But then again, there only claiming it go get to 62 in 6.7 seconds. I dont think its worth it IMO,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toi gulp Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 thats only the engine though isnt it? if so you could look to double that figure i would imagine to get the suspension, brakes, transmision and diff up to suit the new power.its all good and well massively upping your power but without a decent set of stoppers and handling set up that money would be a waste!

nils 6l Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Got a question for this topic. I'll hope someone can give a good awnser.I'am probably going to buy my GTI next week. This GTI has got a 148 HP with Shrick 268/268 cams, a modified airbox with ram air and a Green filter in it and had some remapping done. This car also has got a Bastuck Group A Kat-back exhaust.Would it be the effort to install a 4-2-1 Raceland manifold and a 2inch race kat. Still got those from my previous car. The raceland manifold is only 50mm (little less than 2 inch) wide at the end. I think that ain't enough for any more power gain but I don't know for sure. Maybe the car will have more torque in lower revs because it is a 4-2-1 in stead of a 4-1 system. Does anyone know how wide the original exhaust is (at the end of the manifold and the rest of the tubes)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
