Speed easily, bhp figure no way not without serious internal mods and unreliability issues!
is that RR bhp or "theory" bhp with mods?
cant answer that sorry. I know you can push out that sort of bhp from a 1.6cvh.
i went in a 1.4 gls 8v mpi 5 door and topped 130 back from sheffield ringing its neck and that was standard will be same as the nova 1.4 sri motor very nippy things
300bhp from a 1600 8v has been achieved. Tbh if a 2.0 is good for 6 or 700bhp, a 1600 smallblock is good for 450 I'd imagine. However the power delivery would be so peaky a 2.0 would make more sense.
Anything is possible with a big enough budget however.
my 16 cvh s2 rs saw 220 at wheels at art engineers in wakefield but sadly topped out at 140Quote:

Thats what i was thinking the gearing was more an issue.

Both yes & yes. I know wheres theres an N/A 1.4 16v running a proven 202bhp for sale at present.
I'm sure theres an 'off the shelf' turbo kit for a 1.6 16v claiming 220bhp. I'll go digging.... can get the same power N/A too :D
Lets not rule out a quiaf box too.
