    Bora v6 4motion 2002 tune

    Has anyone had their bora tuned or ecu chipped? Been on google a bit but cant really find and information on the subject. From what i have read these 2.8 engines are not really de-rated from the factory.....any help would be much appreciated.

    You're right, not much to be gained. I have tuned a few and the driveability is improved but it's obviously not like doing a turbo car.

    I don't really promote NA tunes as the bang for buck doesn't work in my mind.

      There was someone lurking around here years ago that engineered a turbo onto a Bora VR6! not sure what happened to that car but sounded fun.

      If you want more juice out of a naturally aspired engine you need to port, polish and put on a bigger exhaust from the extractors to past the catalytic converter, then do a custom remap. Unless you have a workshop at your disposal you'll find that to be an expensive exercise for a Bora. A cheaper option might be to shave off a few kg from weight saving. Get an AGM battery, light wheels, no spare and diet to lose 10kg

        Haha cheers. Think I'll just make it a nice cruiser and save up for a r32.

          You could buy a mk4 R32 head and swap it over as well , or better yet the whole engine .
