max power out my engine

[Graeme]

Agree with Jon, even on a cr box you'd expect more especially on Nova clocks

[brucer]

definitely does. as it also sets the injection timing

i didnt realise, i have got mine set slightly more advanced than what it reads on the bottom pulley marks. feels easier to rev.

[Steve]

Loads of revs left? You sure its got the right box on it? My old gte used to hit 110mph in 5th at about 6k rpm, wouldnt fancy driving for long periods at higher revs tbh...

imho

proper porting headwork blydenstein b+ if you can find one or a peter sowray one perhaps
kent ast2 kent nv063 for hydraulic, or ast9 with solids plus springs/etc..
mappable mangement ( bet micro squirt, dta exp48 or s40, motec etc) dta yes yes
and a 4 branch manifold - one that works - not all of them do - ones like the Ashley with unequal primaries that collect side-by-side are typically 8hp down on a factory cast iron manifold gasket matched - the BTB one works, that's 4hp better than the cast iron opened out..

Happy days.

Add - Arrow steel rods, lightened flywheel, Gp.A cover, paddle plate.
DCOE manifold with 45mm lumenition or similar throttle bodies, or 45mm Jenvys. Build large airbox/plenum to let plenty of filtered clean air in.
Source original equipment alloy radiator - they cool better than reman copper ones.

Been there, done that.
If the OP wants one building, a deposit of 6K would be a start.

Slap a turbo on it

Ast2 is a proven cam with a lovely spread of torque, I've driven peakier cammed engines and they just aren't as enjoyable and therefore not as fast despite having the extra oomph

[C612DNM]

AST2 is an old cam for the 1300, the NV063 is a more modern (1992!!) design that gives a better spread and improved performance over the AST2.
If you want WIDE power, then the AST8 on solids in a 1600 is amazing! The trouble with solids is they are a pain in the backside for reliability in a road engine and need constant tinkering.

...XE it

Might be old but it works like a charm even in 2012..... but hey


The Otto cycle is pretty damn old, maybe you would like to try and give us a new one?
