Nerih 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 m8, mods for the vr cost quite a bit,the best thing is to get it remapped 400+bigger throttle body (since uve probably got odb1) 350+schrick 1200+cams ???big head ???bmc cda 120it costs moneeeeyyy to get power.

Eat this 2 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 id consider putting a rev limiter back on!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 how much for the turbo conversion btw?? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Unless it's had bottom end work, I wouldnt recommend reving it hard, standard VR's limiter is at 6,400 RPM, it must have had a remap or a piggy back ECU to alter the limiter i would have thought.Cams are in the region of 500 quidsBVH are about a grand.
