K-rado 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Right, with 50k mls approaching on my car, I have decided that come the new year, I will be giving her a rest and a makeover. A drop with koni coilovers, full break overhaul, new BB's n Boots and some proper lights to name but a few things on the cards. What I would realy like for the engine bay is a schrick manifold and a charger. now the question......... with a straight manifold changeover/chip n tune, what sort of torq/bhp could we expect? then the same as above with added charger (air or water dont know which is the best way to go) with all of the above done, a fresh coat of paint. I am gonna setaside a buget of abt 4 1/2 Gees. recon enough? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Nice one K... I think yr better of giving me the 4.5k for my engine & rims ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted October 3, 2006 4.5k Euro or GBP? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted October 3, 2006 You won't much, if any, of a BHP increase with a Shrek. The torque difference is superb tho. I want another shrek! I am looking for one at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted October 3, 2006 4.5k £'s its possible (just) if you get a second hand schrick though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted October 3, 2006 I wasn't sure if he wanted a shrek + S/c, or shrek OR s/c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I presume your operating on OBD1? that Vr's a little tight with 15k mls, mine's just loosened up and ripe ( i think) for some hard wear. Did u do it your self or at Stealt? Anybody got a clue if the work involved or if Stealth was to do the overhaul? Not sure which way to go, only know a hyke is on the cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted October 3, 2006 You won't much, if any, of a BHP increase with a Shrek. The torque difference is superb tho. I want another shrek! I am looking for one at the moment. Supposed to be 25 bhp when used with the 268 cams i think? Not a lot on its own though like you say. I love mine though. Still running my engine in so i have been relying on the torque of the schrick under 3000 revs. I'm up to 4100 revs now so i can start enjoying the cams as well :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-rado 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Vince fitted charger & mapped mine, vince is your man. Phone stealth great guys. Cheers Blue, U prob right. 25bhp with the 268 fastcam? Hmmmmmmmm, Will deffo need the charger :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-rado 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Anyway, Back on topic, Thanks Eric for your help. I will post details of the bitz when I get a mo :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bohall 0 Posted October 4, 2006 I knew that talking to Aaron would sway you in this direction Kieran! The cars looking stunning by the way! Do you really need a shrick if you are going with a charger too?? Is one not enough? Really good to meet you on Sunday, give me shout if you're around.

K-rado 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Nice to see u on line, Ya, good meet-up, and blast up the M7, that old Mk1 held her own :D Your G was hot on the pace 2! Cracking, with that Grey leather. I want the Schrick cos it looks the dogs and for the low-end torque. the VR is great at mid to high end torque, but you have to drive her hard to get the enjoyment you would normaly get from a light valver.

Smoking :twisted: I was looking out for the cops as the rallycross was on, i'm fond of my clean license!! :D Have to agree that it looks class with the shrick, try edition 38 for a second hand one! The only thing i'd do to your car is charge it and lower it. Does it really need fresh paint?? Looks class by the way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted October 4, 2006 How much did Stealth charge for doing the whole deal on the charger, if you don't mind me asking? The concept of fitting it myself is lunacy, but if somewhere with Stealth's reputation offered a fitting service it becomes more reasonable .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
