if you have performance cams in a car, you increase the power right? well what happens if you go the other way? You decrease power. its based on valve lift timing, you will get better fuel economy from the 620 T and the 820 T, but the 420 and the 220 T are build for power. No matter how much air you push into the cylinders, you're not going to get any better till you fine tune the timing. Fueling is all the same. in the end on all rover turbo models, the fuel pressure stays the same as it circulates in the fuel rail.
Hope that clears it up.
Ste
well no. the cams do not limit power in that sense. that would happen in in extream cases. we are talking road cars here not rally or racing cars. the limiting factor in that engine is the boost, fueling and inlet temp
rally car's are turbo'd.
Your limiting factors on the T16 are all the same. the only difference between the 2 engine's, both the 180bhp and the 200 bhp is the cams and pully's. if you want to argue, take it up with Rover.

i owned one for two years, cost me a lot of dough to keep going as parts are a bit of a nightmare, 10 hours labour on a clutch!!!!!!
Gearbox is also weak , thats why i sold mine,however fun to drive and handle well, you just need deep pockets,get as low miles as you can

hmmm, well my pals one, the black one in them pics, has had no real probs, he snapped a handbrake cable and has done in about 2 wheel barings but other than that nothing major - oh he has totally wrecked the front tires due to not getting the tracking done after slamming it that far but thats not the cars fault.
