[UK_REZ_ESSEXRACERS.COM]

ok guys,i have a 1.6 twin cam 16v lanos, its rolling on 17s, with an install.

i already have a PIPERX foam induction kit, but was wondering whats the best mods i can get to gain max BHP. im getting a cat back exhaust system but need advice about more things. car is guna be fully serviced, but i need to know the next step.

ideas people.

Underdrive Pulley. There's a group buy going on in the group buy section of this forum. On the 2.0L the tests have showed a gain of up to 22hp at the crank

So definately consider an underdrive pulley and put your name in the group buy

underdrive pulley, high output intake manifold, weigh reduction somehow, type-r stickers

nice looking car btw.

the UD pully for the 2.0 won't fit the 1.6 engine.

no, but those TypeS stickers are sexy

get some e-tec stickers......... Pay a machining shop to shave your cylinder head for more compression

I know. We have a group buy going for 1.6L, I was giving results of a 2.0 just for comparisment.

well what does it actully do, and what work is involved? i was considering racing cams...??? i aint to sure....also what would ported / polished head do?

i may also get a dry nos system fitted, as they are nice and cheap.

The UD pulley lightens the rotating mass and therefore reduces stress on the engine and frees up horsepower, I believe that 1 lb of rotating mass = 8 lbs or stationary mass, and the stock pulley weighs something like 4 pounds, and the UD pulley weighs less than a pound. Installation is super easy and fairly fool proof for anyone with a bit of mechanical experience.

Racing cams work well but finding a pair is damn near impossible, unless you want to get them custom made or order them from Intimidator for something like $1200 USD. Another option is to send them out to get a company to actually add metal to the cam lobes to mess with the lift and duration for better HP/TQ readings. The prices for this aren't too bad.

Porting/Polishing of the head allows air to enter the engine quicker and with more efficiency and volume than stock, thereby increasing horsepower. A full CAI + big bore throttle body + port/polished intake manifold + port/polished head + aftermarket headers would free up a lot of horsepower, especially in our cars, which I hear can get a lot of horsepower from porting/polishing of the head. Again, prices can get a little high, something like a few hundred dollars per hour at a flow bench with professional doing the work.

A wet nitrous system is safer than a dry nitrous system, but make sure you have a well breathing engine before installing either. Meaning CAI, 2.25 exhaust and if possible, light porting of the intake and exhaust manifolds (or go for a custom header). This would be for the best safety and and increase in power.

A combination of these (will probabally drain your bank account) but also will make for a hell of a fast car.

i will deffinitly look into it, i may get the car looking good, then go on a bender and have it all done.

main ones will be

ported / polished head
throttle bodies
uprated leads
nos - wet or dry...
decent exhaust

and finally, a remap or chip, to sort it all out.

if anyone else has any ideas, let me know. also, this pully, what you actully need to do to fit? rough garage price would be nice. cheers rez

I installed my pulley last week... very very easy.. you need a hex wrenk (8mm i think) and a flat wrench. But you need to take off the wheel and the plastic stuff *forgot the name* which is also easy.. for the plastic mark all you need is pliars and a screwdriver.. but if you have a socket that fits that helps

ok, so its kinda easy, can someone actully show me a pic of it, i probably wont do it, but my close mate will.....dont mean to sound like a dumb arse, im still learning on certain parts of cars...

im good with car audio tho...!!!

oh i didn't knw their was an UD puly avaiabe fr the 1.6... the UD fr the 1.6 is identical to the one on the 1.5 right??
