Engine mods

Sell it and buy something quicker, makes a lot more sense in the long run.

he's asking how to make his 8v faster not engine swap..

go for intake, exhaust, chip, cam

for the cost of that, he could buy a cheap vr6 donor car

well the biggest point thats been missed here. and should be the biggest deciding factor

whats the shell like for ROT. 

if its a minter, then engine swap could be the way to go. as per Mr Bads suggestion 

if its a rot box, flog it on and get a decent 16v or VR6 

 

[F17BAD]

^^^^ this is true

also depends how much u love the car and is it worth it (to you) to take it to the next level

16v or VR conversion can be done for the price of a tatty donor (£400 or less)

Well, by the sounds of it I'll keep the pennies in the old sky rocket n not bother with any engine mods for the old 8v. I bought it cheap to use daily but wanted a little extra out of the engine. Im starting to think maybe sell on n head back to a VR6 !!!  The car is rot free, went through the last m.o.t only needing a couple of small things done.
