With the 17s the gearing is all out.
By buying a Calibra you would need to strip everything off it yourself. It all depends who is doing the conversion.

Red Top (XE) is 150/155bhp depending on age.
Turbo (LET) is 204bhp
An engine recon will cost as much as your willing to do on it, I'm sure someone else will be able to answer that for you.

yep, mine stuck at 114 with 700 ish rpm left. if i did it on a long stretch of motor way i reckon it would have carried on.... tyres were only rated to 118 though, so not adviseable.
plus do you mean mpi 1.4 8v??? cos sure an spi would struggle to touch 100
