I have an xr2i [ERRR] piper cross induction kit, and magnex system and uprated leads and plugs, what do i do next? Cam, Chip, Modified head? can n e 1 tell me what 2 do next?

I would have to say got for a modified head (stage 3 if u can) and get the cam done at the same time....chips dont really make alot of difference on N/A cars and really work their magic on turbo cars. if u really wanna go to work on the car and spend loadsa money u can go down to the pistons and go for a slightly higher compression ratio where u'll get some more torque....otherwise, u could always opt for a turbo conversion???

but if u dont really wanna do the turbo conversion, then u'll be fairly restricted to the amount of mods u can do....dont get me wrong or nething, u'll have a very nippy car on ur hands, but u'l constantly keep getting blown away by turbos (well, modded ones [ERRR] way). U could go for a bigger bottom end - 1905cc or something from specialised engines, then get a pair of throttle bodies on that...prehaps nitro??? but all this said, u'll be spending mega bucks on these sorts of things...it'll be more worthwhile with starting off with a turbo lump

Take your car to Ian Howell's Fiesta Frenzy - I took my old XR2i there and for £550 it came back with 135bhp and it used to burn up RS1800's and most turbo's (this was a few years back when most turbo owners didn't bother moding their cars)
