Hi peeps, Been a busy little womble (making good use of the things that I find) the engines had alot of work since I first joined up and im hoping to get the car on the rollers soon for a propper tune up, wondered what power figures I might expect with the following work. here goes.....

Reworked cylinder head
-polished and x-flowed chambers
-enlarged and polished exhaust and inlet ports
-tripe seated valve faces
-manifolds matched to profile
Stainless steel induction Plenum chamber with 0.125 oversized throttle body
Some (ahmem) bypassing of the emisions control port in head to inlet tract.
Magnicor kv85 HT leads
NGK R twin electrode spark plugs ( do you all have these??)
full stainless steel exhaust, with no cat (depends who\'s asking!)
Superchip
Induction kit incased in S/S heat shield

Your thoughts please.
also what do you think about
--- Solid valve lifters
--- uprated injectors

And remember a Womble is for Life not just for Christmas!

yours had a \'charger tho, no mention of one there!

What inlet you running?? I see this...

\'Stainless steel induction Plenum chamber with 0.125 oversized throttle body\'

so is this a mantzel-style affair??

tbh, possibly 130bhp or a little more, but I\'d advise against the SuperChip & get a Unichip instead, better gains to be had!

Also, what about cams??

broster achieved 138bhp from similiar to yours, but he had cams, lexmaul & supersprint exhaust manifold.

Yeah I know but jsut had to get it in there that my 1.6 was 170 hehe

I have no idea about all the mods so no idea how much they will all add! Im a bit dumb like that lol

Yep the plenum is more like the regal unit but has been tuned for mid range, To be honest I would not have guesed more than 130 bhp but the mods have increased the enjoyment factor no end...... Like the sound of a turbo but cant decide where the next grand goes what do you think??
1 turbo with all associated kit or
2 sbd full reloom with a day on the rollers with the tuning god Steve of SBD fame ( this would involve new ecu and coil etc etc etc

oh and big big bit of news if your 4-2-1 manifold has the o2 sensor on only one exit pipe instead of after the collector, its actualy robbing you power and the people who made the mainfold only stuck it on so your computer didn\'t triger a fault code... that came from Steve of SBD too.
