200bhp

[Andy Mac 1]

I am being really lazy as I sure that there are many a post about this subject, but what is the cheapest, easiest and best way of getting a 96 Golf VR6 OBD2 car to near enough break the 200bhp barrier?

Induction kit, exhaust.and re- map.

Same as any other NA car. The next step Supercharger which should give you around 40% more power.

How about you don't be lazy and use the search function.

Its what its there for.

why 200bhp? standard VR6s can make 190bhp+ and the differemce an induction kit, exhaust & remap (which could cost around £800) makes will be barely noticeable

This topic is covered extensively in these forums. Do a search and you'll get a lot more information than you will in this thread.

For a really noticable difference on a standard VR, you need to do an induction kit, 268-degree high-lift cams, exhaust with decat pipe, then get remapped for the lot. This setup will give you at least 210BHP with a corresponding hike in torque. If you want more power than this, you should be looking at supercharger kits..

Does an OBD2 *really* need a remap tho?

obd 1 yeah, that can gain 10-15 bhp...

If you have cams yes. Anything less no. As you imply, a remap or chip on a lightly modded OBD2 makes absolutely no difference in power, however if you have cams or more extensive mods it is definitely required as the fuelling is drastically altered.

Have you had you car on the rolling road already ?

As a few cars on obd 2 with a cat bypass make 200bhp and some extra advance ign timing after maximum torque ie between 4700rpm-6500rpm.
