antera309 3 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 After the seemingly eternal wait, I have finally got my car back fitted with Schrick manifold, Schrick 264 cams, BMC CDA air filter and unichip.RR figues were 210.4BHP @5823 & a colossal 207.1lb ft @3727To say I was chuffed with these figures is an understatement!!!On the road, the car feels much more 'eager' and free-revving throughout the range, especially in that all-important 3000-4500 band that's in use most of the time on motorways. The extra acceleration from a standing start was barely noticable until I looked down at the speedo and found myself doing 85-90 when I expected to be doing 75-ish. It's now extremely easy to go very fast without realising I'm doing it.Top end? I saw a (GPS Indicated) 139mph, and there was more to go!!Pulls through corners better too (in the dry, anyway!)So, was it worth the money? £2,500 is a lot to pay for another 35bhp and 35lb ft of toque. This sort of power increase could be achieved easily on a 1.8T with a £300 chip, but it wouldn't have the sound and creamy smooth power delivery of a VR6.You can have your cake, but eating it too costs a whole lot of cash!A highly recommended conversion. And Stealth are a really professional outfit.Traffic's gone down now, so I'm off to find some nice B-roads..... bye![ Edited Wed May 26 2004, 07:15PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Nice one! A another happy customer! Some mighty healthy figures there too. Civic Type R owners will understand what torque is all about now. They can keep their stratospheric rev-ranges, give me a skip load of torque and tall gears anyday. Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Mine's on 85k. Vince did a full engine service (new plugs, filters, new cam followers) plus a new clutch also. Don't know if this might account for some of the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
