Lookin for something with more oooooooooomphh

[The Monk 50]

I'm still in the process of getting a dyno run sorted for getting an idea of how much power im chucking out at the mo. I want more oooohmp anyway and I'm sure my car is low on both bhp and torque.

I've been looking at getting a twin turbo, manual supra and selling the golf......yes I want to kill myself.

However, I love the mk3 golf too much....though it's a healthy obsession. What can I do to get maximum power and torque from the engine by modifying internals, mapping, blah blah, without doing F/I and what do you imagine the maximum hp/torque can be acheived without FI?.

I think VR6Pete was running around 220bhp with just upgrading the internals and shrick manifold.

So i would expect somewhere around there I guess it also depends on who's doing the work.

yeah what Sanky said the most you will get without going f/i is around the 220 mark, adding a Schrick will push the car up to around 200bhp then add cams, 6 branch, de cat etc and you will have a nice powerful talky engine.

Get a lower final drive will make car accelerate faster....a Petes did....shot off so quickly

Sounds like what I was thinking too. I thought It'd be around 225 anyway. I'm still in the process of saving though. I'm going to try and get a schriek manifold, 6 branch, 263 cams and if I can, like craggsy said, a lower final drive. I have been looking at that.

The short run inlet mani that is usually a replacement on FI was something I was looking at too, especially as it would sit at the front near the cool air and not suffer from heat soak. Is that a bad idea though?

I mean the schriek mani costs what? 800 to 1500?

Short ini cost 998 I think, just mods to the throttle cable.

Wy don't you want FI? You'll spend as much if not more to get that 220bhp NA as you would to get about 265bhp from a stage 1 charger

Could go down the ITB's route, Gareth Spillers Vento has an R32 on ITB and i think it has around 300bhp and sounds insane.

That "big rons" mk1 glf has a 3litre vr on them too, dunno how much power its running though.

Short clip.

charge it........easy quick power.....

Exactly, I was going the schrick and cam route, then abandoned as a stage one kits was easier and only about £250 more in the end, if that

Then a 2nd hand stage 2 pulley and redtops (£160 all in) for even more

I did end up getting a schrick aswell though, had to be done

Im going to be looking to sell mine at the end of the summer as I fancy a new project and more power aswell
