16v questions

[Whitey5678]

No1: abf 2.0 bottom end, standard 1800 kr 16v head, K&N panel filter, tubular exhaust manifold to miltek full exhaust system. What sort of power should I be seeing from this set-up.

No2: so if I have understood correctly from other threads.

the best the 16v engine is producing in non turbo/supercharged form on here seems to be around the 160-170 mark.

so what thoughts are there on how to exceed the theoretical 170bhp barrier without going full out engine management and turbo/supercharger.

i'm not after a 350bhp firebreather just interested in maximising the potential of the existing set-up

I have a 2.0 16v kr engine block that has been bored out and i am getting just shy of 190 from it. So it is possible. turbo, you would prob see about a 30-40bhp increase, and same with supercharging.

best way to improve yours is to get the head worked on.
