66 DAY Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've seen lots of positive comment about the Powerspeed 4-2-1 system & I'm on the cusp of changing from my standard 4-1. I'm running a 1.8 K-series with 52mm throttle body, gas flowed head & strengthened bottom end (inc forged pistons) c 145 / 150 bhp. Any views / experience on the benefit of the proposed system purely as a stand alone upgrade? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combine Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Presume you know there's been a BB recently and a nice 13% discount , I would have got one but didn't fancy driving down to Ashford as they don't have a jig for a vx - they do for a k series though !

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hello again 66 DAY. The 4-2-1 makes a big difference to mid-range revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wilcx Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Night and Day - I tried a few Caterman systems which I had collected over the years before ordering my PowerSpeed....Mid Range is now perfect and revs without hesitating and pulls all the way up. My Winter '08 Upgrade was to a screaming DVA K05. www.geoffwilcoxphotography.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Akroyd Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I use said powerspeed with 155bhp DVA kit, goes well and sounds great, especially when the packing is nearly gone! 😬 C7 WEA 1.6K DVA Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 DAY Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Excellent - thanks. Just need to explain to the kids that Santa won't be so generous this year due to 'essential' expenditure elsewhere......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 At least you didn't have to buy a brake light switch this year too !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66 DAY Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi Stationary M25 Traveller - brake lights working fine now (I think!) many thanks to your know-how. Have to say I really enjoyed the Carrotland Blat & hopefully catch up with you again...Classic Le Mans perhaps? Meanwhile, BB sounds like a good idea & I'd be happy to wait until March if there are others interested. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
