lowvr 0 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 best adivce i can give you is do some more research using search functions and you will learn 2 things:horsepower is easy(ish to achieve - but you pay for reliabilityif you piece the kit togther yourself you will end up with far superiour components which are tailored to your needs than most kits can offer (btw there is no off the shelf kit available for rhd vehicles) Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 end of the day....get wot u pay for. think u'd see lots of broken gboxes and axels on that kit too! Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Alright cheers dude, I'm looking for a lot of power, so will be aiming for high end kit for safety, but I would prefer to buyy things in a kit to make sure I am not missing out on anything...Thanks for help Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 If you are looking for a lot of power then read both of Jim Potters and Kevhaywires threads to see what you need to do to achieve what you are asking. Another thread that goes another level higher is Paul Parky's 4wd VR with full engine build and custom fabrication. If none of that wets your whistle then there is a full install available from one of the site sponsors. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm approaching this from a different angle getting the engine tuned and running and building the car around the engine ultimately. If your thinking of a lot of power your looking at more than standard vr6 drive train. uprated shafts, sqs or another manufacturers gear set, or a haldex setup. Just my 10 p's worth from my research so far. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 if you want up rated drive shafts bare in mind they are around 1k from the usa ....... i only have 390 bhp and have broke 3 or 4 drive shafts ..... Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 well idealy at leat 400bhp.. (Thats a massive amount for me, as i drive a little 1.1!!!)Im after making it 4wd eventually, using the haldex gear off the 4 motion. obv this is a very long term project, but its my dream cheers Link to post Share on other sites
