Hi all I'm thinking of increasing my bhp in my gti6, its standard at mo with just a k&n filter and exhaust. Was just after a few peoples opinions on how to reach around 200bhp, I dont want any more than 200, cheers

Any proper power gains on a n/a car will be would need cams as well as the bodies though which is also a hefty chunk extra + new ecu etc so thousands unfortunately |

no need for any headwork, and bodies are not expensive, its the labour and consumables which adds up.why only 200? ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Why the need for 200? It's a odd figure to achieve as with bodies alone your under it but imo once you go into cams may as well look at pistons so would be chasing a bit higher figures. Carl chambers races a pretty much standard powered 306 in the tin tops series and does pretty well from what I've seen |

low to mid 180's, you are very limited due to minimal valve clearance.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

190 is doable with itbs. I was put off going for cams on a standard engine by miles due to the small tolerances etc |

Depends what cams you go for. I recommend catcams 4903110, mainly because i've got a pair i wouldnt mind selling.  You'd need to sort out the pistons though, but they should be good well into the 200's if done correctly. This guy seems to have done ok on what looks like a standard inlet manifold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssaRxKV6jXk ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

If I can get the car down to a 1000kg I would only need about 180bhp, The car goes really well but because power to weight ratio it sits low down in class. Any offers on gaining 180 |

i thought a couple of people on here were almost nudging 200 brake with pocketed standard pistons, PT81's and remap. If i dont finish turbo project then this is something i am very keen to try |

Same as really a lot of people seem to get around 180-185 on a standard engine with jenvey bodies. 1000kg will be difficult as well unless you change panels to fibreglass and change windows etc |

Any mild cam and a remap will see 180, its the getting the weight to 1tonne that will be costly ________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3 |
