The Duke 27 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've been looking at throttle bodies for the VR. Jenvey don't do a kit for the VR when I emailed them they put me on to Grant Motorsport but I've not heard the best things about him. If you want big bhp then go with a turbo or charger, with throttle bodies your looking around 20 bhp which isn't a massive gain but they will sound the nuts. BRC Automotive do a manifold for bike throttle bodieshttp://www.brcautomotive.co.uk/our-projects.html Bogg brothers haven't done a VR before (it was awhile ago I spoke to them so may have now) but said they could make a kit for bike tbhttp://www.boggbros.co.uk/ There are some companies that do a full kit, there's one in Germany but I can't remember the name and there's VRS Northampton that do a full kit but it's not cheephttps://www.facebook.com/116115708405730/photos/pcb.1032419630108662/1032416676775624/?type=1&theater Or the other option is to use M3 tb and have a manifold made up, you do see the odd set come for sale Link to post Share on other sites

The Duke 27 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I seen that on YouTube a while ago, that's what made me want tb's. They sound the nuts, I could listen to that all day Edited June 4, 2015 by The Duke martingraham 1 Link to post Share on other sites

martingraham 21 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Is 300bhp reachable with throttle bodies? Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 No, I'd say not. N/a vr's I think can make up to 260hp but that's had the works done to it! Link to post Share on other sites
The Duke 27 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Depending on what else you've done you're probably looking at a max of 220/230 bhp. To get 250 bhp takes massive amounts of work there was a thread I read VWVortex http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2616140 Read this if you want N/A tuning Link to post Share on other sites

There is mention in there about the distance the fuel has to travel for half of the cylinders (4inches) that's a lot of time to let it recollect, defeating the purpose of atomization.Is a short runner intake worth trying on a N/A engine? At this rate I might just folliw the crowd and get a turbo. daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

From my understanding a short runner intake doesn't give much bhp either on a N/A. If you want big bhp go turbo from what I've read over the years Link to post Share on other sites
martingraham 21 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Excuse the pun but, in slowly getting sucked into the idea of a turbo, if that's the only way to get big power The Duke and daveyboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Cooz93 66 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Must admit, that thing looks and sounds nuts!! But for that price? Could easy get a decent second hand charger set up, more power and probably easier to tune too! Link to post Share on other sites
