[FRST mad]

Stealing the question from jsturbo (sorry mate) whats the best way to tune up my xr2i to maybe 160 - 180bhp?

I know it would probably be easier AND cheaper to buy a fezzy turbo but l've done so much work on gettin this car right i dont want to get rid of it yet.

Any ideas would be appreciated

I have a 2.1 ZVH with throttle bodies and at one point it was put out 180bhp but now it has more.

I saw a 154bhp 2i on the rollers the other week, gasflowed head, cam, higher compression ratio, injectors, ECU work, exaust, etc, etc
Must have been done on a student budget

didn't half roar

[FRST mad]

simmo, were the injectors standard or wot? and do u know wot the ECU had done?

[Simmo]

Don't know
I was just in the garage at the time and the owner wasnt present. Shame tho.... would have liked to know myself what he had done to it exactly

cheers neway simmo

Putting a turbo on that i reckon would make for a very impressive BHP Figure, i think a Fezzy turbo is that standard.

[FRST mad]

Sounds good mixon. If you get [ERRR] more info bout it let us know mate.

Putting a turbo on it would be good, it would probably put out around 160ish bhp dont u think?

[BungoBill]

Why not drop a bigger engine in it instead of all that mincing around?!

How about getting the head ported?

How many BHP would that add experts?

Considering that myself.

The standard CVH 8 valve 1596 gives out 110 BHP.

If you get a stage 2 head and a kent or piper cam you'd expect to see a extra 15-20bhp.
