Wayne2015 10 Posted February 13, 2015 Looking at a remap for my 1994 VR6 Just a small one to have a more responsive engine and remove those flat spots. I prefer a small remap hoping that is all is needed - and no extra work/mods is required? Since I am thinking of taking my car to Stealth to do the Timing Chain, maybe best to get a remap from them? What / where do people recommend? and how much? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the timing chain involves, but surely if it's head off then drop some cams in while you there (this spending other peoples money is easy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timing Chain 2. Rebuild cam heads? 3. Clutch 4. Water pump (optional) What is rebuild cam heads? And what is "drop cams in"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted February 13, 2015 Think he just means to fit some uprated cams. Stealth have a very good reputation for remapping the VR6. It's not an aggressive remap where you get large spikes of power, but it improves throttle response and the power curves are very linear so you get nice consistent gains all the way through the rev range. uprated cams will give you a little more as well but that's another few hundred on top.

Wayne2015 10 Posted February 13, 2015 Love it....one minute he can't afford, then 7 mins later he's pondering more power. Not sure I love this forum or hate it too! One minute I paid good price for a car. Next minute I ploughed in MORE than its bought price! Eeeek! Lol Seriously I like to get my moneys worth! I only want to do things once. So if it costs me say £200 for a remap and another £50 to add 263s then I ll do it. But if it costs another £100 for 263s or that I have to drive all the way to Midlands again to get it done for £50 - then its not value for money for me. Its just a shame if by paying a bit more I might get more value for money - best to have an informed choice (wink)(wink) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool! Thanks Buddy! :thumbleft::thumbleft::thumbleft: Whizzed through most of that - might have not read all, but to summarise: 1. Go for 263 (better value for money and power from low to top) approx £350+ (Fitting cost???) 2. Leave 268 (power mid to top) 3. Most people fit cams then remap 4. Fitting cams alone or just a remap yields similar results? Some debate about if add cams then u SHOULD remap... 5. Bits and bats about VSR? Shrick? etc 6. in 2009 remap was £275+vat from Stealth So for me though a very crude decision (based on my quick summary above): 1. Cheaper to just do a remap (price maybe more than £275+vat now) 2. Cams just too expensive at £350+fitting 3. As long as a remap gives a better delivery of power across the ranges AND removes flat spots then I am happy bunny :cheers: Will try to meetup with Vince/John on Monday or Tuesday of the coming week.....shame I can't take my Corrado with me for them to look at :(:(:( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mk3highline 10 Posted February 13, 2015 Ask stealth to use the steel head gasket to bump up compression which in its self will give bit more torque all over Or save your money and go 24v, better base unit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
