I am wondering what people changed to there e(c)16se and how much hp they have now?
Hi,
I tune my 8v small block. C16SE big valve head, x18xe1 crank and oil pump, z18xer pistons, dbilas 40mm itb some special rally cam with 308 deg and 12,8mm lift, 154hp.
Now doing some mods to have more hp, 332 deg catcams cam, h-shaft conrods, megasquirt, and electronic waterpump.
With me it's the simple things on the E16: air filter, sportex manifold, exhaust and a partially overhauled fresh engine. Doesn't get the new kids on the block with their electronic horsepower-ratatata-off-the-shelf-turbo-racers but it still puts a smile on me and the misses
I'll be impressed if you get much more power (and keep driveability) as 150-160 is about the magic limit of a BVH 1600.... That said, you might be running more capacity with the 1800 bits lolQuote:

Then its things like:
1650 overbore
shot peened/deseamed rods + arp rod bolts
the same 285-300ish deg cam
big valve / flowed head
bigger throttle body and oem intake + management
OR
Weber/Dellorto T40's
All pretty straight forward stuff.
Whats your compression ratio ?Quote:
