shao_khan Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 The VWR R32s are superchipped, but I believe the changes are almost all torque with around 2-5bhp increase, so you might not get what you were hoping for - problem with normally aspirated cars is that chipping just doesnt do much. As for Decatting - well I remember when I originally spoke to AMD all of the various cats were showing rductions in power when RR'd, but they now offer a cat replacement so I guess they must have developed something suitable.

jamesXXX Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 i was thinking of removing the cat completley, and replacing it with a piece of normal pipe, but flanging the pieces, so i can put the cat on for mot, and main dealer servicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I can't comment on a Superchips mod. The first thing to check is that the car has the 6463 software upgrade applied. Removing the cats is not such a simple thing as the engine management system relies on the output from sensors connected to the cats to tell it how much more or less fuel/air etc. to throw in. Don't forget that the R32 is drive by wire (the throttle, 4 wheel drive sensors, ESP etc. all use electronics), so you could have some serious detrimental effect on the car. If you are looking for really sound advice from a tuner, try a company like AmD in Bicester - they have various stages of upgrade between 250 bhp and 330 bhp - all depends on your budget. A couple of us on TsN run their Stage 4 conversion (300+ bhp) and it runs flawlessly. Prepare your wallet for a thrashing though... HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesXXX Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 its had the 6463 upgrade, just had a cheap mod done on the exhaust, there is a local exhaust builder who has removed the centre section ,silencer, and the restrictive section under the rear diff, and he has shaped a new piece of stainless, flanged the front, and welded the rear, also he removed the flapper section on the rear box, £150 in total. also added a K&N panel filter, sound beatifull now, and goes alot better, not bad for £200!!

MagiK Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Have you got a sound clip of the car now? I would be very interested to hear what it sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeCal Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah i'd be very interested to see what the R32 sounds like without a cat. My VR6 Golf i had the cat off and a full stainless put on but the sound was way to loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyPence Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Blue Flame now do a decat pipe for only 180 which is alot cheaper than the Milltek item at £800ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGDODDS Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I had my r32 chipped, it completely changed the feel of the car loads more torque smoother and more responsive it made it feel a lot quicker didnt have any flat spots or hesitations I would definately rate it. I have drove a car with the dealer upgrade and didnt think it was as good as my chipped car, mind you you cant get a feel of the car in half an hour, the lad who done my car does a lot of r32's and golfs and does a lot of work for harper and hebson in cumbria I can give you his details if you want to speak to him good luck p.s. I think if you are wanting huge bhp increases I think you should be looking for something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
