    Hello people i have a question . I have the 1600 efi lump.......
    I manged to get 113.6mph out of her . Well i want to stop her being a snail and put some fire her pants again.....

    I dont to put a different engine . Im happy to put money in to this engine

    Can people give me some ideas of parts an there names and where i can get them from
    Ideally id like it to be a little rocket again .....
    When i want to 113 mph i had loads of revs left to play .. but she wouldnt go much more
    Its like i had kangroo juice in the car it was i think misfiring.....
    Does anyone port an flow heads on here

    Just give the engine a rebuild. You could be down on standard power (!00bhp) as its a 20+ yr old engine, many miles on clock etc.
    That might get it a little rocket again.
    Google the eurosport competition build manual, take a look.

    IMHO

    Proper porting headwork
    Kent ast2
    Mappable mangement ( bet micro squirt, dta exp48 or s40, motec etc)
    And a 4 branch manifold.

    Happy days.

    Im having the same problem bud,,,my engine wants to go and revs up fine,, but it feels like its being held back? revs dont match the speed im traveling when i toe it. im thinking missfire?? could it be down to the engine timing being out?

    i was quoted £1200. for fast road cam piper/pulleys/fuel reg/head work/ 120bhp plus...fitted. aldon automotive stourbridge.

    check ignition timing, setting that right makes a hell of a lot of differance.
