casasteve Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Went out for a run around the country lanes following a mate in his EP3 tonight. Plenty of fun cruising about I want more poke though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You're starting to go through that stage we all went through (I'm going through that stage now) A few modes will sort that out. 4-2-1 manifold along with a de-cat will free some horses Or with a bit more effort, a mini-me head swap with a P28 ECU. Or even better, a B18 engine conversion or just go nuts and get a K20 twin turbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more along the lines of looking for a VTI or something Actually, I've started thinking about manifolds and such, but not sure I'll get any worthwhile gains without spending a huge amount of cash.

DAVEMB2 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It's depends on what you wanting and what sort of power and if you want to be a bit Eco on fuel . I have an MB2 too and my MB3 can do 50 mpg and still pull 128 bhp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I did feel a noticable difference with these, pull from 2-4k was stronger than standard and felt freer at the top. Sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casasteve Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think what I want is manifold and catback, but leave the cat in. I don't want to have to worry about swapping things around for an MOT etc. Also, I don't want to make it excessively noisy. I just want more umph without too much boy racer brrrp! (I'm too old for that!) I'm not sure that's even possible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 de-cat doesn't really add that much noise it just adds rasp, the bigger gain was felt by a manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEMB2 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Well with the mb2 1.4 going bolt on mods N/A , full system no cat and new 4:2:1 mani ,cold air feed to standard box with filter k/n new plugs and leads you are going to be looking at 98-103bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casasteve Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm starting to doubt it's worth it. Having checked insurance, I think I could afford to run a VTI so I may just keep my eyes open for something I'll keep tarting my little MB2 up though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
