TSR Engineering

[golf gti 16valve]

ok soz ppl,thought it was tsr, obviously not,

[...joe]

don't know much about tsr but they seem to produce the results. but just to clarify, i got my neighbour to bore my block out, i bought the pistons first so he could do it exactly then had my friendly local vw tuner to port/polish my head/manifold etc then i built it up again myself. but in theory its the same as the tsr 1900 8valve lump they do which they claim does 140bhp. when mines run in i'd hope for something similar.....

dont they do some secret metering head mod on the 16v that makes the fuelling better

I did my 2.0 conversion myself and all the TSR boys have been really helpful everytime i phoned up for advice!
Have bought a few nice bits from them but alas couldnt afford a TSR engine

That would be the WUR mod, not very secret but can be a pain to set up. Vince at stealth does it.

nah its different i think, they actually do something to the metering head, some guy on clubgti had it done to get his valver over 200bhp, or is that where the wur is

Right, looks like i'm the only person who had a bad time with them, here we go!

Booked my 16v in for a recon head, new valves, guides, stem seals, tappets baisicly the whole top end.  When I booked it in they asured me it would be done in a day if I could get it to em for 9am.  Which i did, 150 mile drive!  So off I went & left em to it.  I came back to em at about 4pm, to be asked if my car had ever overheated, the answer is no.  It turned out the head they put on was cracked!!  So they recond my old one!

So I left it with them & drove the 150 miles home(g/f car). I went to fetch it a couple of days later(another 150 mile) picked it up & it was miss firing really bad.  So I drove it striaght back, & after about an hour of messing it turned out to be the dizzy.  Now this was after the mecahnic was meant to have taken it home to "test" it.     As part of the fault finding they  put in new injectors, which I agreed to pay for.  Now the mecahnic said to me keep them to cover the cost of the mileage, spot on thanks very much.   I even tryed to pay for the injectors again before I left, to which I was told not to worry about it.

Of I went home(another 150 miles) on the following Monday I had a rather snotty phone call from TSR telling me I'd left without paying my bill!!!!!!   Remember they had just taken £1400 off me.    They said I owed them £100!  After some complaining on my part they charged me £50.    Bunch of clowns imo mate.

TSR lads are ok, Neal who runs it now mega lad even better he,s a scouser Anyway wrexham my old 16v which was running 9a block, flowed head, kent reprofiled cams, vernier, 50mm inlet, standard exh manifold with powerflow system 181bhp after stealth WUR mod. The WUR (warm up reg) mod is adj to give more fuel at high revvs needed if engine modifed.Also ran 14.6 sec at inters last year in it, Not slow by all means.  My bro,s standard 1.8 16v done 149bhp after WUR mod. Lads on clubgti like chris mc's 16v that 200 bhp, but he's running tb's or ian b's 16v 2.0lt 16v but using 276 schricks (mega cams not for raod use) modified inj systems with was done by TSR. There cars cost big bucks to get 16v to 200bhp+.

Cheers for the info folks,

i've got the car booked in for the 3rd of Feb having spoken to Neal.

It's having;
* pack A head (ported, polished and gas flowed)
* TSR 276/268 cams, followers
* Vernier pulley
*4-1 stainless manifold / Jetex stainless system
*Sachs sports clutch / lightened flywheel

They have also promised to have it done in a day, providing i get it to them for 8.30am. Should be fun as i live 190 miles away! 

I'm considering getting the 50mm inlet manifold as there's one on e-bay at the moment for 150quid (polished, including rocker cover etc). Does it make much difference?

I'll ask Neal about the WUR modification.

I've had the car on the rolling road today so i know what the improvements have produced (132bhp and 137llb/ft at 5250rpm).

I'll keep you posted.
