Cheap/easy HP

[user2137]

Now, i know what your gonna say, no such thing as cheap HP 8) BUT, from the VW experiance i have, over the years i found easy ways and cheap ways to up power, nothing mind blowing but enough to notice a diff.

So i ask, on my 1991 Galant VR-4 if anyone knows any easy mods and cheap ones (cheap as in almost nothing, not an exhaust job lol)?

Also, if anyone knows what boost my motor is running stock , and how i would up it?

thanks
Dave

CRANK UP THE BOOST!

Don't over do it though... :muhaha:

Well the VR4 was the original engine supplier to the Evo's, so its the 4G63 like the Evo 1.

So with that in mind, I would guess that the turbo would be the same? If so, on my 2, it ran about .8 bar standard, and I think the earlier low compression engines (vr4 + evo 1 & 2) could run up to 1.3bar.

Don't quote me on this, these are my assumptions.

And, how do i turn up the boost on the factory set up? also, i heard there is a re-circulating system so i dont hear my wooosh lol. I heard you can unplug a line or 2, anyone know which ones?

I run 94oct (best available in Canada) besides race fuel ,so i figure i can get away with a little knob turning

Now if i only knew what the bar to psi conversion was lol

thanks mates, cheers!

94 ron is a tad low mate chuck some octane booster in the tank it will run much better 8)

How sad is that, our best gas is pretty low in the rest of the world....my Passat VR6 told me to put in 96min, ummmm.... I dont like octane boosters down here, seem cheap, ill just fire in 20% 120oct and hope for the best

wow, 1.3Bar=18psi?? that seems very healthy, like coughin flames healthy lol

You all have my undevided attention

The Evo 1 & 2's engine shouldn't run more than 1 bar boost if I remember correctly.

Putting more than this through is asking for problems, you should be ok if you increase the boost to 1 bar but I would advise not to go higher than this on standard ecu

Hope this helps

T,

1.2 is fairly safe in the Evo I and II. The III is on the limit at 1.1 I believe.

This is assuming decat, some kind of filter and aftermarker exhaust system.. :muhaha:
