Oh money situation is fine. Cos im gonna do it over time. Im just not too sure about getting TB's really, cos on a cold winters day im not gonna be going to far :lol:

I would prefer to get inlet manifold than TB's

End of the day fella, it all depends on how much money you want to spend on it.

As far as inlet manifold goes this is what the dbilas stuff is but as daimo says go for Sbd throttle bodies if you can afford it.

Nice exhaust manifold decent degree cam like Ak's selling, exhaust manifold and stand alone management like DTA or something.


You could also look at head work yes or oversized pistons (again AK has done this) depends how drivable you want it as to what you do to it.

Look at wwww.sbdev.co.uk they know alot about redtops

Are these any good???

PowerZone head and cams kit.
Dblias(spelling) inlet manifold
lexmaul manifold
Superchip

Which air filter should i go for?? What stlye (induction kit, panel BMC stlye???)

Cheers for any help

So i highflow manifold is good :thumbs:

What about an Inlet manifold???? Whats that all about??

Piper cams or Kent???

What chip should i use as well?? Cos i do wanna re-map the ECU to get as much outta it :D

talk to velos motorsport, they're ace

QED will do your an alloy block for £3500!!!!!!:!

Nice though and knocks 19kg off your front end weight!:D

SBD/QED will build fast road engines but for a price

regal/courtney charge well over the top for that same job lee m/beardy wud charge

I've heard some horror stories about Regal and Courtney seemed very expensive when I asked them to quote some work on my old Corsa.

Heard good things about Cossvaux and SBD though.

OK, im gonna look into this big time. I wanna get some serious power under my foot :D

lots

try places like cossvaux etc

OK cool.

Would either Regal or Courtney be able to sort this type of thing out?? I guess they can but how much would they charge roughly for this type of work???

Cheers

:wave: hello steve!

Dblilas, stay away from it, doesn't work at all well on the redtop.s
Powerzone head n cams, - to be honest, you can get better stuff and better head work done if you look around at the specialist vauxhall tuning companies. Best off asking on Mig for that one.
Lexmaul manifold, gain power, but loose torque. Personnally, i wouldn't bother going for one, u might as well just save up for throttle bodies.
Superchip, again, cheap chip to raise the limiter, may sort fueling out, but i dont think they really work well on the redtops.

AS for air filter, if you can afford a decent sealed unit, go for one. Don't get an open induction kit as they work pants on the engines. If you can manage to keep an airbox and drill it, works very very well and could see youself into the 160bph region with just that and a zorst.
