Indecisive S2 111s owner...
Discussion
Afternoon everyone
I can imagine most are tired of this sort of question, but I currently own an ’04 S2 111s and am looking to improve the BHP and torque. I eventually want to occasionally track the car, but for the time being just road use. This is what I have come up with:
1. Port and Polish of cylinder head
2. Piper Cams (270) – am I correct in thinking that this would blank out the VVC mechanism, and would I completely lose the characteristic of the car if so? If I had this done, would anyone recommend/see the need for the 285’s?
3. Vernier pulleys
4. 4-2-1 manifold – is Janspeed a good bet, and what size bore would benefit me – 40mm?
5. De-cat pipe. I have read people think that this is detrimental as you lose back pressure on the VVC, can anyone say for certain that this is the case?
6. Emerald ECU
I have spoken to the guys that are normally recommended for k-series engine work, but I need some advice, (from your own personal experience would be excellent), on whether this would be beneficial to what I’m looking for and worth the cost, and whether I should do all or just some of the above.
(I currently have a sports exhaust and induction kit).
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and opinions.
