Engine: X16XE 4 cylinder 16 valve.
Block: 0.5mm re-bored & decked, new "AE" pistons to suit. Crank re-ground to -0.25mm, Flywheel lightened to 8Kg. All internal moving parts blueprinted, balanced. SBD oilpump gear and pressure regulator, SBD steel rollers. Modified alternator bracket and Nova GSi bottom pulley.

Head: Polished and ported with bronze valve guides and "1 piece" REC valves. 1.7mm Steel head gasket. Webcon 2.5bar fuel pressure regulator and cream injectors. Still on standard cams.

Inlet: SBD manifold with Jenvey tapered 48/42.7mm SF throttle bodies, 90mm trumpets. Jenvey throttle assey.

Every nut, bolt, and gasket has been replaced though the stem seals need replacing after a faulty batch got fitted.... Done 5000 miles since it was built, 140bhp and 111pounds of torque all the way up to 7500RPM! Drives like a dream and gets good fuel economy too....

PM with an email address for pictures
