cheers
Joe
also could i not have anyone tellin me to get a rs turbo engine cos i just dont want one
spec:
02 STAGE 1
Cylinder Head : Modified and fully gas flowed, with matched spring set, surface ground.
Cylinder Block : Rebored to 0.030". Each bore cross hatch honed to exact size of each individual piston. Each ring gapped and graded to each individual piston and bore.
Crankshaft : Reground to bottom limits available, with matched set of mains and big end shells.
Con Rods : Crack tested and checked for alignment. Checked for ovality in big end housing. Fully balanced and lightened.
Camshaft : XR3 blueprinted for BHP gains, or for towing or pulling power, a lower profile camshaft for maximum gains in torque. Plus normal reconditioning process as listed above.
03 STAGE 2
As full Stage 1 specification, but including big valve head - inlet valve size 1.710" and exhaust valve size 1.500". Cutting and throating of valve seat areas. Full engine balance included.
03A STAGE 3
As Stage 2 but includes choice of camshaft kits from the full range of Piper & Kent Cams, This includes uprated springs aswell as the antipump followers.

I know carbs are possible with an adapted manifold but I didn’t think there where actually any throttle bodies to suit the XR2i CVH in existence.

surely from all the expense a turbo lump dropped in would be just as cheap and alot more tuning potential?

aq highly tuned xr2i lump will have alot more starin continually on it than a near std turbo lump to produce the same power!
the turbo lump will also be more reliable within that sort of power and require alot less money to do the work including the actual price of the conversion, ring up the insurance mate and get a quote on both before you write off the turbo conversion, alot would charge alot more for a highly tuned 2i engine than a std turbo engine in all honesty.

My old XR2i made just over the 130bhp mark and never missed a beat since I built it. It was only just off the VTS's pace my friend owned and was a lot of fun. There is a lot to be said for the joys of NA motoring.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

It will cost the same if not cheaper you only need headwork to get this power and you can buy them of Egay. The head is the same as a turbo anyway so it’s all interchangeable.

hi all not bin on 4 about 2 years old name xr2i 1649
just wonted 2 say i have a 1649 cvh in my xr2i and it has
highter spec than u was looking at and i got a no bull 137bhp at 5500rmp 127torq at 3500
(well went 2 p.t.s they sead 160bhp llama)
the thing that stops the 2i geting good bhp is the air in take.
u can mod the alpha throttle bodies 2 go no 2 the cvh then u looking
at about 150bhp but cost about 2G (2 years ago) and thats u doing the work and its a lot of work
i say best thing 2 do is go 4 a good head a cam kit ari filter and a good
xzorts not power flow or peco
p.s keep the std manufold its the best
but thats wot i think
sorry about the spelling but had hard day at work lol
