what mods can i do to it to make it faster or nippier or something, what about superchips is it worth it on this car, what about filters and distribution cycle

[fiesta boy]

chips wont work fella no ecu u can get a k&n cam zorst system or just put another engine in

[rs125]

Its depends on how much you have to spend--as fiesta boy said-get an air filter,exhaust (including manifold if funds allow)--then its into things like high lift cam ,polished/ported head and twin 40's,lighten/balance your bottom end etc etc(starts to get very expensive though)-or go the easy route NOS which SHOULD be fine as long as you use it spareingly and use low BHP jets (25 or so).

Hope this helps

[Bad Boy Si]

imho i wouldnt recommend NOS

[rs125]

Why not? if fitted and SET-UP corectly it Should be fine (as long as you don't go stupid )

[focus_zetec]

i was gonna put a k&n on, i dont think i can get a cold air induction kit [ERRR] its not injection, and i was looking at the full mongoose system, or does anyone have any other more effective ideas in the way of exhaust and filter

[xrsi]

get the K&N for an xr2 mk2 - and also get a full system for an xr2i (manifault back) and get an xr2i manifault from a scrap yard. This will then fit and provide less restrictions.

Also you can use any xr2 tuning items such as cam etc on your car as the 1.6s uses the same engine as the xr2 mk2!

Also - try to get a carb from an early mk2 they were better in a few ways!!

I have a bolt on K&N air filter for a XR2 if ou want it ! XR2 same angine as a 1.6s !

[focus_zetec]

would it not be better if i got a full magnew system for an xr2 or xr2i whichever will fit or a mongoose, would that be better that the normal xr2 mani

[xrsi]

Most systems dont come with the manifault!!!

Plus the exhaust has to be off a Mk3 xr2i!!!

[Bad Boy Si]

rs-125, im just not a fan of NOS, think it will lower the reliaility of the car, which im not too fond on.

[Bad Boy Si]

reliaility = Reliability

Standard n/a CVH crank has difficulty coping with more than 120bhp-ish - FRST and ERSTs use a fillet rolled crank to reduce flex. NOS wll shag the engine very quickly. A Zetec bottom end should do the job though I would guess

[AdrianFRST]

Crank no good for 120hp? What that about? I run 140hp on a std 1.6 cvh bottom end with 135lb/ft torque for over a year of constant thrashing. Ain't even got round to camming and stage 5 big valve gas flow yet!

[Project]

Stage 5 huh? Can you pull trains with that kind of spec then

I said it has diffculty mate - it can flex and generally misbehave. I'd like to see if your bottom end lasts as long as most FRST bottom ends have running comparable power levels. If yours lasts 11 years I'll eat my hat, my grannies hat and my shoes too
