Try and find a second hand set of steinmetz or dbilas throttle bodies, modify the standard cams or change them for aftermarket ones if you've got the funds, fit a unichip and obtain 152ps like I have on mine ;) That's the cheapest route for +45ps (N/A) that I can think of! | |

A turbo will always be better ie lower revving=last longer, more air will get in+fuel=more power. But don't forget heat management!!! | |

It would be like putting an XE against a Let | |

Now that would be a good test. | |

quote: Reliability wont be an issue, if everything is built to last. High revving NA's can be just as unreliable. And with a decent amount of a boost, and a right sized turbo, the turbo'd engine would be fast, much faster imo. Its not just the power that'll help, 200+ lb/ft torque comes in handy too. Theres a turbo'd 1600 16v on mig, with not what you'd call a huge spec. A suitable spec yeah, and thats making 252bhp. :thumbs: For track use, NA is a good option. But for road use Turbo is better in my opinion. [Edited on 09-12-2007 by Vaux Lad] | |

budget at least 4K + to do a turbo'd x16xe properly. and for 4K I could build you a 180+ bhp x16xe engine that will be far more reliable and probably faster than the turbo option. | |

i find a turbo'd x16xe so much more appealing than a 2 litre conversion. Its not done very often and i expect you can get good power and torque. Plus you get the lightness of the engine which makes it handle lots better than a corsa c20xe. | |

/\ Or properly turbo it for about 3k, and get more power, and a shit load more torque :) | |

about 250bhp is the max you can get without turboing but we're talking over 10 grand | |

inlet manifold. full exhaust system cams headwork and some good mapping you should see 140-150 bhp. going higher than that your looking at mega money | |

Definitely, but then you won't be running 200 bhp, and you have extra weight over the front end. | |

Chat to Broster or Dave A on here - Dave currently has 201 bhp IIRC, but its not cheap. | |

I have a 2000 1.6 16V sport. What is the most power that can be obtained from this engine? What parts need fitting and how much money will it cost to get the most power of this engine? |
