Had a search and didn't come across a good thread!

What else can i do to my c16xe...

So far i have Mantzel inlet, Schrick cams, f15 gearbox, gm std manifold and downpipe, Ashley twin box exhaust system, cone filter.

Was thinking pulleys and chipped ecu...

Ideally I'd want to go down the TB route but i don't want to spend that sort of £ this time of the year.

Jay :D

Pullys will make a slight differance.

Chipping the ecu might be worth it, get the exhaust done first though.

And go for a 4-2-1, 4-1 apparnelty makes it so theres more torque/power top end, which is where all the torque is on these baby xe's anyways.

Apart from that just service it.

Oh and a light flywheel if it hasnt already got one, from a 1600 8v or even a x14xe.

See, mine made 145bhp on the rollers, that engine seams to have alot more done to it for not alot of power gains.

Some of the things may have been done for better throttle responce, rather than outright figures.

plus 145 seems a bit high for those mods and no 2 roller results are ever the same....
