As above, i want to get my x16xe to about 140bhp, it has about 110 at the mo with a cat back system and panel filter..
Im thinking of camming it and fitting a performance manifold and also a map/chip..

Just wondering if anybody can tell me if they have done anything similar and what the gains are?

Also, the best products or best priced products to use

Thanks,

Brian

Mantzel Inlet
Fast Road Cams
421 Manifold

No just sold it but its been sold again i think,didnt valver it just bought a 106 Gti instead. Baz just go for a redtop,cheaper and less hassle. Would be around £150 for the inlet well a copy one. £200 for a manifold £300 for cams and a remap would be around £300 roughly

That is THE most ludicrous pair of statements I have ever heard on here.

The 20xe engine is one of the most iconic engines of the motorsport world.

Take this quote from SB developments
quote:
What makes the C20XE engine so good?

Over to you Steve. "It's one of the last production engines with a massive in-built tolerance for being tuned up. Most of the components are good for 250bhp. The rods can cope with that - the only reason we advise against it is that if the engine is over-revved it can cause problems. Even the pistons are fantastic. The original piston is a forged item - it's beautiful."

The entire bottom end of the C20XE is very strong, especially the crankshaft. "It's bomb proof," says Steve. "I've never seen one break. Even with an engine has run out of oil and the con-rod has disappeared out ot the side of the block the crank is still in one piece!" Such strrength would be useless if the C20XE couldn't produce the power and torque to exploit it, but the cylinder head is something of a mass-produced masterpiece, being designed by Cosworth engineering for GM/Opel's requirements. Packing decent-sized valves and ports and a highly efficient combustion chamber shape, the alloy 16-valve head will flow enough air to reach 230bhp before modifications are required.


What exactly is "the something you don't like"?

Crazy talk

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Baz, word of advice, don't dig yourself any deeper. They are a fantastic, strong engine.
