danpug 1 Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Depends how much torque you really want, the vtr engine is only a 1.6 so its not going to be a torque monster. It is a good little engine though and can be picked up for peanuts. Edited October 23, 2008 by danpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
number2301 1 1 Cars Posted October 28, 2008 If you're going to the expense of throttle bodies surely you should at least start with a 16v? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nimmo 0 Posted October 28, 2008 defo would't go with a vtr engine don't rate them at all, in fact there a huge disapointement, well i think anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anderoo 0 Posted October 29, 2008 You mean a VTS/106 GTi engine surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcc 855 Posted October 30, 2008 arent these engines very thirsty for what they are? surely the way to go is a Mi lump. very cheap for what you get, even the 106 gti engines (also the vts) would be a better choice than a vtr lump? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I'm doing something similar with my 205, using the engine from a 106 XSi. (1.6 8v) Can get 150bhp from these with TB's, cam, headwork etc and a lovely spread of torque. Not something to be overlooked Edited October 30, 2008 by RossD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
