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

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
