View Full Version : 1.6 power upgrades?
when i get round to rebuilding my engine what are the best options for a E16SE? and dont give me the standard answer of xe it , let it etc etc, that will be done on my spare shell, i do have an xe full engine and all the gubbins but want to keep it 1600
so TB's, T2 turbo, ideas please.
this has been covered many times try the search button
if i search e16se it brings up a load of sh*t that aint relevent to my interests, the search facility could be better, some members help buy putting guides on there sig, like mike with the turbo fitting guide, also there aint no tunning forum here either or an ask the experts so im asking the members instead. :)
Cam, exhaust system and if you can stretch to it some decent pistons, not sure on standard rods but if you wanted to rev it higher some rods would be ideal and some ARP rod bolts as there is nothing worse than spending cash on an engine for a rod to snap, game over.
ive got a full mongoose ss exhaust, and when tuning it'll be full bore, not just a tickle, the rest of the car is going to be pretty well spec'd up it has, quick rack with alloy mounts, compition engine mounts, full front end plating kit, bias pedal box, seam welding from the underside so you dont see it in the bay area, rear discs, rear arb,
parts i have to go on are full group A bilstein tarmac coilovers, works type uniballs, new set of poly bushies, 308 discs and 4 pots.
so i dont want a big stoopid heavy engine to spoil my little go-cart lol
Sounds canny like, cam, remap, exhaust,port and polish, and some decent pistons should see it alright. Carbs would be a good addition but they're thirsty.
fuel cost isnt an issue, its my toy, i was thinking about bike carbs, im watching the thread with the one on megajolt, but love the turbo boost on the s3,so kinda want a turbo too lol
Do it, I'm sure there is a couple of project threads on here of some lads doing turbo/supercharged engines.
just looking at mikes guide there, not to keen on the spacer plate, i'll look into lowering compresion a bit more. if a escort rst 1600cvh can get 244 bhp i would like 200 in mine lol.
Would be alot of work to get 200bhp I imagine.
meh ill buy a second engine and work on it till its ready to be fitted :)

agree with that
turbo it ;)
you know it makes sense
Yep I agree turbo it, it can be done for not a lot of £££
if its turbo id want 200 bhp lol,
if its turbo id want 200 bhp lol,
That's doable,
Chap with the silk violet onE in projects ( Mike c I think )
has 200bhp out of his, on dta management iirc.
Craig Green had 180bhp on standard ecu.
ive got the group a clubman rally car build manual and was going to follow the engine spec in it but iirc its only about 150 bhp.
Get a turbo on it much more fun IMO

Flowed head & cam basically. But that will cost you the price of an XE. Its upto you, but 125bhp is your limit, 150bhp with an XE is out the box... I'm all for small blocks but takes your choice. 150bhp is doable on carbs with lots of work.
Put your money into a decent gearbox with a diff & you will see better rewards.

spastic, there is the Mechanical forum you retard.
From Big Russ days 170bhp is the 'limit' for a 1.6 8v (bear in mind to get from the 140/150 of a good not hugely expensive build to the 170 is EMMENSE money, you can get more than 170 but its the point of mega cost for little return)
Of course that was N/A. Imho it would be fairly 'easy' to get 200bhp Turbo'd for sensibleish money and built from new proper(ish) parts, rather than the scrapheap challenge lots seem to try and abandon as it dosent work right.

thats totaly uncalled for! do you have mentally disabled family members? I do and comments like that are uncalled for and extremly ugly. as forum admin your comments are discracefull!

Yes, Wilsons was an 8vT, Craigs is now a 16v motor IIRC. He did used to have an 8vT, but wilson bought it off him IIRC???

My 8v turbo did end up in Wilsons car, its had about 4 owners since I sold it, only Wilson actually ran it. Laughably it seems to have gone up in price everytime it has changed hands.
Mike C's is Nova Neils old engine, which was the same spec as mine but Neil put the DTA standalone on it. See his car in features (turbo's).
iirc its changed hands again, i pm,d wilson and he said it was sold lol
Ive still got an 8v 4-1 manfiold flange if anyone wants it, an a pair of Ford screw in peices for turbo oil feeds for GM oil pumps.
