vt 195i cubsport mods?

[Adriianz]

okay guys i recently got a 195i clubsport as a toy..

im having trouble finding which mods are worth getting to start off. currently its stock, bar a cat back exhaust, stainless steal cats, and pacemaker tri-y headers...
i was thinking tune tune and air intake and throttle body.. although im told there is no real power to be gains as the 195i is already fairly tuned and has a biggr air flow...

any suggestions would help. if you could tell me what would be good to start with? (lower price things) then down the track ill just cam-charge it...

hopefully somebody has some info! thanks guys!

you are right theres not much to gain with a tune so dont worry about that just yet. i would suggest diff gears. do u have auto or manual?

I'd be hittin up greenfoam for a tune their fairly cheap, plus upgrade the intake

You could get the heads ported and polished and a stage 2 cam put in the same time ? Also as mentioned above, diff gears !!

It would be good if Greenfoam/nicefrog could actually answer whether he is willing to re-tune my car, I have asked him on numerous occasions and I'm still waiting for a reply!

Yeah I tried hitting up green on eBay but no reply, what kind if money would u be looking at for diff gears, and what kind of money for cams etc? And would there be much power to gain?? Im leaning towards a vortech charger and custom tune really at the moment lol

 

[VR028]

vortech charger is the best bang for buck by far. diff gears are around 1000 and cams can be anywhere from 1000-3000 depending on where u go

yeah im actually checking out a 5.0litre turbo kit at the moment, and if that falls through ill most likely be going for a vortech t trim kit. if niether comes up ill just grab some diff gears and maybe a stroker kit... thanks heaps for the input guys i really appreciate it

 

[VR028]

nice work. it'll be a killer either way you decide to go

ahh just got through talking to some mace engineering people. they said they can supply me, air intake, 70mm throttle & memcal to suit at a good price package deal. with decent power gains.

what do you guys think? worth doing this before charging it??

also 1 more thing, as i said earlier i know the clubby has a mild tune, but does that mean i can still memcal the ecu with the mace engineering one? or not to bother? just get the throttle and intake??

cheers boys
