quicker 16v

[smooth16v]

i want more bhp outta me 2.0l 16v and i dont know what i should do!! shall i get twin 45 cards or throttle bodies!! as im doing this am gonna put some better cams in and get the head done!! i dont want top speed as such just acceleration!! what should i do??

cheers lads

[mikeoxford]

go for nice electronically controlled throttle bodies every time

there a bit more expensive than carbs tho :(

[Stuart]

if your only after acceleration go for carbs (T45's) decent cams and most of all a decent gearbox 3.94fD minimum etc


look for Chris Tunniclifffffeee( oh like i care how its spelt lol) blueish 2l 16 in the features

[mikeoxford]

or ians on TBs ;)

[smooth16v]

yeah i want just accelaration!! so twin 45 will be alright then and for the gearbox? ive got a f20 so canu put a f16 on it? does it go straight on?

cheers lads

mabey fitting a Turbo as standard on some of the other high spec engines may be a cheaper option. But might mean you need the valves, pistons aswell to cope with the extra heat?

Why would Fitting Carbs make it quicker acceleration than fitting Throttle Bodies Cambridge?

Do they give better Torque or something?

[Ben]

F16 will go straight on.

[smooth16v]

cool are they off the gte/gsi? can u fit a lsd to them? will that give me quicker accelaration?? but not good top end?

[Stuart]

well put it this way carbs will cost say ?350 (ish) to get and setup

TB's will cost about ?1500



TB's give the ability to get more power, but with no massive gain in torque.

so its a swings and roundabouts thing in your case.

as i said chris t does ok on his twin 45'd 20xe, about 200bhp at the last setup lol (that is with mappable ignition though)

[smooth16v]

ok mate cheers for that, i know a bloke who races stock cars with the 16v engines in and he tunes them upto about 250+ bhp so ill have a word with him

cheers anyway lads
