1600 Help.....

[mikeoxford]

Hi all.

Engine plans scuppered, a lil' bit. - ANYWAY change of plans

:?: what is the BHP figure of a standard 1.6 Injection GTE engine?

:?: what is the BHP figure of a standard 1.6 Carb engine?

:?: what is the BHP figure of a standard 1.6 engine on a weber 32/34?

:?: what is the BHP figure of a standard 1.6 on Twin 40s?

[mark_GSi]

a standard 1600 on injection is 100BHP m8, not sure bout carbs

[match]

i know the gte motor is 100bhp.

just get that, whip off the injection system, put a cam in and then ya twin 40s on.

thats the best idea i came up with for my 1600

[whitey]

yeah i think the above is the best option from what i have seen and heard!

[mikeoxford]

any more BHP figures? particular the standard 1.6 on carb, from a cavlier or similar i would guess.........

[locky]

Just a little info ere Mike, if ur planning on fitting the 1.6 carb from a cav, ull av 2 do the same mods as fitting a 2.0, the 1.6 carb from a cav is a big block engine!
I think u know bout this already!
As for bhp figures im not 2 sure! would u consider fitting an injection system?????
If i could do it, im sure u can Mike!

[mikeoxford]

cheers lockster

i dont want to say toooooooo much at this stage :P will give the game away, i just need a few facts and numbers.

well i think im sorted now anyway.......

im currently going to be driving about in a 1.2 "nevada red" metro - which shines PINK in the wrong light LOL

You'd be very lucky to get 100bhp out of a gte engine these days which hasn't been re-built.

An un-rebuilt motor will produce about 90bhp.

Mr oxford am i guessing you are fitting a gte engine you kept that quiet :o

just let me know if you need a hand . you can always have a look at mine if you need ideas but don't forget your 8)

let me know how you get on

mike,

my 1600 motor was fully re-built, only cost around ?250 fror new rings, big-end, main and little bearings. also with new oil pump. if you are re-conditioning an engine would recommend changing your oil pump and water pump while it is all in bits.

i also did the valves and valves seats and put in new valve springs and uprated hydraulic tappets in for use with the cam.

its worth a rebuild when doing the conversion just to know everything is on good condition when you put it all back in the car

also some of the 1600 cav engines are a short-block and will fit in on to your existing engine mounts

[mikeoxford]

who said anything about fitting a 1.6 :lol:

lets just say velos have given me an idea...........
