Performance upgrade for 97 2.0lt 4 cyclinder vit

Post by cam yagan »

Im sick of my cars lack of grunt, particularly on the road either up hills or overtaking. I was wondering what would be the most suitable performance upgrade, and how much extra grunt would i get.

I thought the 2.0 litre vits were fairly pokey

Are you pushing extra weight? Biggers tyres.

What diff ratios are in it?

Everything is stock, except a 50mm suspension lift and 225/70/R16. It seems that over the last 6 months the power has decreased, but i had it serviced and compression is still spec.

How about swapping your 4.625's for some 5.125 ring & pinions.

Any "rotten egg" smells when you get out of the vehicle?

If so, may be a cactus catalytic converter.

Even if it isn't, could still be the innards of the cat con falling to bits, blocking the exhaust (6 mos seems like about the usual sort of timeframe).

how much do extractors and exhaust cost, and how much extra performance do they generate.
