rite, back to my other question, a mates using a 1.6 8v flywheel in his 16xe but iv also heard the 14xe fly is good to use aswell? can anyone confirm this or extend on it :thumbs:

They mite hav the same flow rating but different ohms nd resistance. Basically like the early and later redtops

a got told thay were little bit bigger but a duno if ya find any thing out jed let is no mate

I got 179bhp out of a 1.6 but that was built for a lad with money,
Was rebored to 1.75cc with pocketed pistons
Dbilas inlet
Dbilas wild cams
Ported, polished, gas flowed head with larger ports.
AAS 4branch nd exhaust system,
Megasquirt management,
And other bits, stood the kid about 7k.

get t turbo'd :)


nebody know much about the flywheels? whats a cheap option for a lightened one or pleace that do it cheap and balance them up?

thanks lad think am guna start ordering the bits and get this cracked on with

Arp rod bolts about 50pund.

talk more about the lightened flywheels someone please...

1.6 8v or 1.4 16v ones good for the 16xe?

also how much are the arp bolts??

Sorry to hijack but im also looking to rebuild mine. What power would come from a similar spec but on a 1.6?

I would keep standard pistons and rods
ARP Rod bolt kit
Get the crank balanced.
New gaskets all round.
Valve Items replaced
Re hone and rings
Decent set of cams is probably in that budget too.
4-2-1 manifold and Inlet.
All that done right would equate to around what davey mentioned power wise.
Flywheel lightened too.
Change the final drive in the gear box aswell to benefit from it being a revvy engine.

ebay have rods and pistons for £700 but that would be all your budget gone, be a tough call to find pistons and rods cheaper than £500 tbf, a good rebuild with a few subtle mods will see 130-150 as daveybee says

Well ur goin 2hav 2think about what kinda power you want, 140-150. Is acheivable without changin pistons but strengthin the engine rod bolts etc.

just somthing to gain a bit performance but with out brakeing the bank

Try engine services, i imagine they would be able to help, what spec pistons nd valves you wanting?

am about to do a full rebuild on me x14xe but finding it hard to find some new pistons and vales and vave springs have looked all over the web and carnt seem to find any think. so if any one no's any places were sells them let me no lol also any ideas on how to get as much bhp as posible with out going over £700 :boggle:
