Yes the Si is known for its lack of torque, so, how would i improve the torque on my Si

[Excursion]

put an 1800 head on it

[Nicky_Si 1.6 16v]

how much will that set me back ???
power increase ????

Cheers for the help already

[Phil Si]

just the head?? or the bottom too? hmm.. idea's

[Excursion]

well thats the only thing I think is worthwhile because the 1600 has rediculously small valves and diffferent combustion chambers.

Actually come to think of it you'd need the 2000/1800 injectors then.

Honesty mate it isnt worth doing anything - when you've got £50 of headgasket and bolts and new injectors its jsut not wrth it.

Why dont you just put an 1800 in? Its only a days job and wil lset you back no more than £250

[Nicky_Si 1.6 16v]

Yeah well i doubt i have the tech knowledge to fit it myself so it would be in a garage and theres the insurance to think of, so it will end up costing me a lot more than £250

[Phil Si]

yeah looks like i might do the 1800 then best i can hope for really.... then do abit of stuff to that

[Excursion]

Nicky I knew absolutely nothing about cars the first time! I brought a zetec engine to replace the 1300 HCS in a car we had.

I poo myself when the accesory belt came off because I wasnt even sure how to put it back on. I just picked it all up as I went along.

If you follow a haynes manual you could have it done ina weekend I guarantee it.

[Nicky_Si 1.6 16v]

Well yeah i know quite a bit about the engine i think i know enough to fit it, just the confidence issue, ill have a go, should i just ring round scrappys for 1800's ??? and the insurance issue, how much more do you think i will have to pay ???

[Excursion]

Well mate my insurance went up from 712 to 817 when I put the 2 litre in. That was when I was 19 with 1 years NCB

[Phil Si]

mark is that cos u have big gates on the house and a camera?

[Nicky_Si 1.6 16v]
