I just pick up a 70k XR3i with the MFI engine. Its the last one on a G-plate i think.

Apart from th exhaust/cam/filter route is there any other ways of tuning it?

What about a turbo conversion with out transplanting in a rs-turbo engine?

any ideas PLEASE let me know.

Forever in search of more power...........

Head work

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Nov 26, 2001 7:14 am

Yeah crank 130hp out of that easy. Bit of grinding, bit of skimming, lots of setting up (the key to a fast car!), exhaust. cost you under £100 and then plus the exhaust cost. :cool:

cheers!

Does anyone know any good (excuse the pun) firms that do good headwork? :lol:

Theres only 1 for the CVH - dave barker at puma racing

I know people on here who have had 600-700 quid jobs on ZVH turbo heads and they havent been as good as £150 jobs in the lincoln area - but dave barker is the best

£600 or £700 jobs???? Are you nuts??? I did mine on my drive and got 135hp with 130lb/ft of torque out of a completely std escort 1.6 cvh with twin 40's my gas flowing and my home made exhaust! I bet you don't get that after your £600 head job, mfi injection, exhaust and big cam.

so where can you gat a head skimmed and then the car set up (properly) for £100

Grinding is done on my drive aswell as the flow bench test, therefore thats free. The skimming is done at a local engine shop (where the head was previously acid dipped, £5) so costs vary but its still peanuts. Then A: Take the car to High Tech Motorsport £60
(includes tune and rolling road readout)
B: Get your mate that knows how to tune to do it £free.
All in all that constitutes a price of sub £100
Where do you go to get ripped off?
