RSPOOJ

i have a 1996 2wd RS2000 approx 170bhp and loving every minute of it

Demondave

ive got one and im trying to find some tunning goodies or companys that can help me out at the mo????

RSPOOJ

what exactly do you want to know matey????
point me in the right direction and ill tell you what you want to know..
do you have a set budget??? power figure in mind?? etc etc..
theirs lots of tuning firms like Aldon who know a fair bit asbout these cars and practically specialise considering the drought of tuners willing to work on them.
so what do you need info and parts wise.

Demondave

right at the mo I have 1k spare to spend on the car. I know its not a great deal but want to do somthinng else. It allready has uprated brakes and a full tsainlees with de-cat pipe and induction kit.

What would u sugets next ?? And where from??

RSPOOJ

tbh for a grand your pretty much looking at a full gasflowed head and a set of wilder cams..
you could goto cylinder head developments and get both flowing and cams done..Andys very well recommended and not just for RS2000 '14''s either..he does CVH and cossie heads too..
give him a ring and chat spec on 01527 870472
you should easily get that work done for that money.
it will make sense of your induction and exhaust and start to make power.
realistically its somehting around 170bhp which is what i have with those mods..but you may strike lucky and pull a few more as they respond differently.
either way,you will have more torque and more bhp afterwards..
if you want to go further your gonna be at a cross roads in tuning appraches...
either get something like a superchip or fully mappable unichip and live with that..or go for throttle bodies and you'l need a decent full ECU system not unlike emerald or OMEX to handle the fuelling.but this costs a fair bit..at least Ł1500 id say for that alone...
after that,its a high comp bottom end build..for pistons and rods its Ł1800 in parts without labour so thats an extreme..but it will stay together and enable revvving to 8k all day long..

for a livable RS2000 thats quicker and more joy to drive,but affordable to run..id say get the headwork done and enjoy that..you can always get more done later and chat spec with the likes of Andy and also Aldon automotive at a later date.hope that helps

Demondave

Okies so is he the only person to speak to about headwork.?
Would just the cams make any diffence at all in the standard head? If so what cams are more sought after???

RSPOOJ

you could also speak to Ian at specialied engines,he did all my headwork.
you can just use cams in the standard head but you'l loose out on torque low down and combined they make the best use of each others merits.

but yeah,its still do-able..
Im using kent 2001 spec cams which are probably the tamest really.
they give around 12-15bhp and dont affect idling or general running.
its still smooth and drivable with this profiles in the head.
you could possibly go one set higher(cant remeber the actual profile of these)and still retain a good idle..it will be slightly lumpy thou atthis point.
and the next stage up again is def not for you as their proper lumpy buggers and not ideal for town driving etc..best left alone unless you have a decent breathing system like throttle bodies to justify such cams.

maybe worth speaking to Burton and asking them if they could re-grind your existing cams for a wilder profile cos that would be cheaper still.

Demondave

Mmm cool.

Lats of all any good site for more info on tuning the rs2000 and parts avaible (not just tuning!)

RSPOOJ

well burton are stocking filters,exhausts,coilovers etc for the RS2000,so might be worth a look..
if you do order from them,be sure to phone rather than order online cos they tend to be a bit slow off the mark using the online service lol..
https://www.burtonpower.com/default.aspx

also find these chaps really good on prices,have ordered various bits from them and recieved within 2 days too.

I really fancy a mk6, why dont you lot like them?
Trying to find a black 3dr, what a nightmare!

Im getting a mk6 rs 2000 next week, as ive killed the RST. The one im getting is in ash black. Ive heard its going to feel alot slower then the RS, but im sure i'll get use to it. I 'll post some pics when i get it

Rs Gary

unless your rst had a lot of bhp ie 170+ the rs2k will not be slower,the rst had 132bhp standard the rs2k 148bhp standard,most have had a few things done to them so are running at 165bhp+

funniest thing about these cars is that they are actually one of the fastest RS's in standard trim!
