Hi guys, ive currently got a nova saloon having a full spaceframe fitted running mx5 subframes. Im going to be running a 2.0 8v rwd. What is the best way to get some more power out of it?
Ive done a fair share of searching and all you get is loads of people saying just fit a let or the xe or even running nitrous. I don't want to use any of that and i want to keep it n/a.Obviously it will be having a full rebuild! So really im just wondering what i can expect roughly from a set up like this? What have others been able to get out of these? Money isnt a issue either. Also is there anything else i can do to it?
Running bike carbs
Custom inlet
Race cam
Solid lifters
Bigger valves
A fair bit of head work, port and polish, head skim
Rebore
Deck the block if it can
High compression forged pistons pocketed if need be
Steel rods
Centre line bore the crank
New shells
Uprated oil pump
Im not expecting huge amount of gains. I've had a lot of experience with the 1.3 8v's so i know roughly what can be done. Just want any other info i can get on the 2.0 and what can be done really. Any help is great!
Before anyone says to use the search button, i have and between different forums you always get a bit of contradiction.
