got a x16xe and i was wondering if i changed the injectors to c16xe's and/or the air flow meter to c16xe would i get any gains or are they both the same?
or any other sugestions for power gains for x16xe?
its de-catted, and has a cone filter, just had part service and is due few other standard parts to change/fix

c16 injectors are no different.
There is no point in going for "bigger" injectors, Your not getting more air into the engine (By that I mean lots more air, like turbocharging, Not some gay cone filter etc)
Also, I'd like to see you try and fit a c16 AFM in-place of the X16 one, As the x16xe don't have one

You wouldn't even see 177bhp on an XE with those mods. Tell your mate to take his face for a shite

So if you get a exhaust mani, port and polish the head you will gain 52bhp

De-restrict airbox, panel filter, 421 manifold, new inlet. You would see good gains just from them

yeah they look sweet but i was thinking a bit more D.I.Y lol
i noticed a topic regarding cool running thermostats, who makes them for the 16xe's and what would the advances be there, sure they not something to D.I.Y with a std thermostat

They open fully at 80degrees iirc so the car doesnt warm up properly. Ok if your ragging it around a circuit all day as it keeps the engine cool
