1.6 race engine

[novatracker]

alright am buildibg a track car for olton park and i cant deside on a 1.6 8v or a 1.6 16v iv been told the 8v is more torque'y but iv been told i can get more power out the 16? HELP :o[/img]

[m.d.]

16v mate. absolutely brilliant engiens. can get almost the same power as a tuned c20xe from one.

[Dar]

Go for the twin cam lump(16v).

Im a 8v man, but i would say get the 1600 16v much more modding potential.

16v mate. awesome engines but i believe quite expensive to tune

[Mike]

16v is expensive to tune because u get more bhp per ?

can ring almost 200bhp out of 1.6 16v. if u got a 5 figure bank balance tho?

well, bout 7k id imagine

[Snowface]

you probably get around the same bhp per ?, maybe a bit more.

But once you hit 140-150bhp with the 1.6 8v thats when it starts hitting the 4 figures to squeeze smaller amounts out.

[Philsutton]

i'd say the 16v as you can get some rather silly power out of these engines if you have the money

cheers lads am after a pocket rocket so il b after the 16v then what mods do i do for installin the 16 seam veld, strut brace. is it worth getting a harry hockley kit if so what sort of price r they and could i make the kit?
:twisted: NEED POWER :twisted:

[Mike]

u could probably make the kit, if ur a dab hand with metal and a welder?

[Aragorn]

ive HEARD its bad to run front strut braces with seam/stitch welded bays

rear brace should help tho if its properly welded in between the turrets
