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?
I have searched amd couldn't find much.
Thanks chaps

Definitely, but then you won't be running 200 bhp, and you have extra weight over the front end.
But that's a discussion for another day.

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

As Andy and others have said, Dave A and Broster had throttle bodies to get higher figures but it is expensive to go that route

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

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

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.
Its just the cost that isthe problem and if you try todo it on the cheap, they can be very unreliable.
the 1.6 turbo FTW

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.

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.
For track use, NA is a good option. But for road use Turbo is better in my opinion.

Now that would be a good test.
NA and a Turbo'd X16XE round a track and 1/4 mile.
I'd like the NA to win

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!!!

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!
