Hi, I knew there were people out there! lol
I have a spare 10V head so am going to get that 'fettled with' I've heard of a process called Extrude honing where they push abrasive gunge back and forth through the intake and exhaust tubes leading to the valves. Plus the usual porting and polishing. Trouble is Its all loads of money so cant do it just at the moment.
Also going to try getting the standard cams 're-profiled' I've de catted mine (it gone in a J reg Corrado so legally I can get away without having one. I've also fitting a Jetex cone filter - know what you mean about the sound, awsome!
PLan is one this is done I'll have the whole lot remapped by AMD to take advantage of the extra goodies and head tuning. The aim is to get over the 200 BHP mark. after all 150BHP from 2.3 Lt is a little poor, come one VW, your german friends at BMW get that magic 100 Per litre!
If I manange all this would anyone be interested in buy a kit?? what sort of cash would you be willing to pay for that power increase? I'll look in to see if its viable.

always interested in more power. originally was looking into having R32 engine mated to VR6 box and dropped in but cost of damaged R32s still ludicrously high.(not financially viable).
new proposed route will be L.A.N.pipe Milltek exhaust and chipping.in desperation may try a discrete nitrous installation.
will keep my eye on this see if any one comes up with good ideas.
don't want to go down the high lift camshaftetc route.been there before and boras wouldn't be right having to be revved to keep it in the power band.
could port and polish head and blue print engine but big expense for small gain.[

Have been looking at getting that ABD intake kit myself, how much was it and did you have any problems with it?
How come the mount is blue and not the usual red type?

Turbocharging is the only way to gain big BHP on a V5.
I have a contact in Netherlands who showed me 'his' turbo V5 conversion.
Looked great - was inside an exhibition hall, so couldnt start it tho. It was a single turbo application - power was well over 200bhp.
He will look into RHD applications - should there be enough interest - but he is not sure there are that many people out there who want to modify the V5!
Could the V5 must be a bigger seller over there..?

hello
its my car in the pictures .
its a12 sec car with 4.8sec 0-100kmh and 0-200 in 15.5sec
the power is well over 200bhp .
with only 1bar boost its way past 300bhp and with big turbo it will be close to 400bhp and its the best way to tune the v5 .
I started of by using a setup with custom cams ,chip,supersprint exhaust and modified airbox and stock paperfilter .
open air filter is the worst mod on a v5 .
the stock box will easy support 300bhp +

My V5 10 valve has had an AMD remap, miltek cat to back and serviced with new plugs feul filter ect ect. It pushes out around 170 bhp so not massive or particularly exciting. It sounds great and does go reasonably OK. I would be interested to hear of any other worthy mods that wont cost a furtune. I totally failed to even remotely keep up with a MK5 GT TDI on a motorway slip road in it so it needs a bit more power.
V5 Turbo welcome to the forum, love your car. Is your turbo set up custom? Would it suit RHD applications? What issues are you aware of for forced induction on the V5 and V6? Was yours 150 or 170 as stock?
Hope you don't mind me joining the thread lads []

]I would like to add the Mikedav's request, as I have now come to the end of my V5 modding, the only thing left to do is DE-CAT and maybe a NOS or Turbo conversion.
Any chance V5 Turbo you could start a thread on what you have done and how easy it would be to do again on the V5 engine ?

Hi. RF Steel, Where are so far in terms of modds on your V5?
JD
I have so far done the following mechincally to the engine;
I would like to increase by current bHp from 191 to around the 220 mark if possible, though with out doing anything to the engine internals.

mikedav, his looks like a 150 v5 due to the HT leads which were replaced with coil packs on the 170.
i'm really impressed by those figures, is your car a 4motion?
what kind of problems are you guys anticipating with the RHD /LHD issue? the engine layout is the same, so i guess its just the power steering pump that could get in the way?
