would u notice an extra 20bhp??

**bigjim** · 13-11-2005, 15:34

looking at getting headwork and cams for the car. hillpower quote roughly 20bhp for the above work at a cost of Â£1500. thats a lot of cash for imo not really that much increase and i dont really think that your really going to notice that much of a difference tbh. makes me a bit reluctent to spend that sort of cash if im not going to be that blown away with the performance. ive got to be honest my last car was a clio cup and it was quite a bit faster than the williams is especially up to a ton. the williams currently has full magnex, de cat, hillpower shielded induction kit and hillpower stage 1 chip. whats everyones opinions?

It's a hell of a lot of money to spend on a car that's only worth Â£3000, say. That's half the value

But you'd definately notice a difference in performance :D

ive had the headwork done at hillpower, cost me the same amount of money, u dont really notice it when ur driving by urself, but u do if u look at the speedo or your racing something.......thats when u notice the difference, i raced a mate in his standard valver when mine was standard and it was same (obviously) but when i had the work done, i cant express how much i wiped the floor with him and many other cars taht i couldnt usually beat!!!!
hope u understand that

nah mates its worth 5k. its a minter 50k full renault s.history. not really the point though just wondered if worth it for the increase.

**bigjim** · 13-11-2005, 15:39

did u have cams as well dan? apparently the 2.0 responds better than the valver to the above mods as well.

**Dancliovalver** · 13-11-2005, 15:40

lol see wat u mean now

im glad i did it, thought it was worth the money, seems to be very reliable

**Dancliovalver** · 13-11-2005, 15:42

yeah i had, port, polished, flowed head, fastroad cams (set for top end performance, 150MPH in a valver

), verneir pulleys, stage 2 chip and a few other bits and bobs that nick might throw in!!

am going back soon to have my cams reset for bottom end performance!!!

definatly worth it mate

**bigjim** · 13-11-2005, 15:42

so did u have cams fitted as well as the headwork and an uprated stage 2 chip?

**Dancliovalver** · 13-11-2005, 15:43

**bigjim** · 13-11-2005, 15:44
