soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does any one have any before & after bhp stats on these. Been searching old threads & no one seems to have come up with actual stats?Got Schrick 268's Cams, Schrick VGI & Supersprint cat back exhuast & was wondering what if any BHP increase to expect so i would know if this was a mod worth doing?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 well I have read that a 6 branch, de-cat and exhaust can give you up to 30bhp - don't know how accurate that is and it does sound a bit high to me personally but I have one ready to go on my car mainly as it does increase flow for the money I reckon they are a pretty good calue mod mate Link to post Share on other sites
wkd928 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 the manifold from storm has varied length primaries to match whether the exhaust path through the heads. de-cat the exhuast has got to be worth something. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 also just noticed youv'e had a re-map at Stealth so I would call Vince and ask him mate Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks guys, Will give Vince a call this morning & let you know what he says. Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Called Vince & he said it's not worth it as I would be lucky to get a minimal BHP increase. He also said that decats where not worth it as well as the charged VR's they see on a regular basis make the same power with or without the cat. So leaving my standard mani on & some cash in my pocket Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 not really what I was hoping to hear !! but heh ho am going to stick mine on anyway just for the noise Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 He did say it would make the car sound better (more raspy)! So I would stick it on if I had it brought it already. Keeps looking like FI is my only option for more power & not sure if i want to spend that much. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I got 218BHP from my n/a engine - what figure are you running now?Have you looked into the G60 final drive? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 could sell the Schrick and would pay for most of a second hand supercharger setup mate !! Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 yes mate the same charger as the one that's just been put up for sale a Z-Engineering one Link to post Share on other sites

What mods have you got?Will be on Stealth's rollers later this month & Tony is doing my chains this weekend.Yeah I was thinking about the final drive until I saw Pete's post saying that it pushed the MPG down a lot!

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I dont own that car now, I wrote it off in the mk3 at the ring, re-shelled it to the mk2, sold it off a little time ago, but the new owners wrote it off.I had a schrick BVH, wossner low comp pistons, 2.9 rebore, bmc cda, schrick, stock cams. remap.sod the MPG !! if your planning on supercharging it, your gonna be loosing MPG anyway, I used to put in 20 quid a day to get runcorn and back, but I was sat on the limiter most of the way there and back. G60 still well worth it IMO! Link to post Share on other sites

soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 P.S admin is me lolShould have figured that out by the 'Head Admin' label!.Not sure where to stop with the mods. Thought that I would do nothing to this when I brought it with all the mods done now toying with the idea of more power :-) Link to post Share on other sites

What BHP you running with yours? Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Also thought that 268 Cams were not suited to a charger? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 currently running just under 270 bhp mate - yeah the 263's are better for a charger as they are a little less "lively" than the 268's but I know of peeps running them Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 A wrapped 6 branch does sound good and improve the exhaust gas flow from the head, especially if you go FI. De cat will reduce exhaust back pressure and adds that raspy sound under hard acceleration. The downside is that you get a little more exhaust noise and a bit of popping back on the overrun. Both of which are great imo I've got the same charger as Ben on mine. Like you I had no plans to up the power much but it came up at a good price at the right time. I haven't done cams or injectors and only have the stage 1, 6psi pulley fitted along with a ported & polished head and lightened flywheel. Just made 250bhp over in Germany. The increase in torque is the major difference imo. If you can keep your schrick and fit the charger you'll have the ideal set up as the schrick switches over just as the charger goes on boost. Whereabouts in SW are you btw? I can't be that far from you so if you fancy meeting up let me know.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 glad you saw this Kevin yeah going to stick both bits on my car for the increase in flow and the noise !!mate go out in Kev's car and your mind will be made up for you ;) Link to post Share on other sites
