What sort of power from 2.0?

[donsrno1]

ok, thanks for all the replies. Really tempted to do this but need to check on how much it would cost me. I would hope to do most of it myself but obviously a fair bit of it would need to be done elsewhere such as a remap, balancing flywheel etc and the headwork.

How much difference would it make to have the flywheel and crank lightened and balanced compared to without and how much would I be looking at to have it done?

I'd say 175-180bhp.

You may as well drop some megane inlet valves in to the head while its being worked on.

174 bhp from a f7p with those mods seems very, very optomistic imo

Mine is a strong f7r and it had 131 hp atw (corrected) so less than 174 bhp!

its 2ltr

Eh? Nyk's is a 1.8....

thought we were talking about the author of the thread? lol

Soz should have quoted her...

it is 1.8, but thats what Wayne said it was when he tuned it.

Got the print out but its packed away as I'm in the process of moving house. Will post it up once can find stuff!!

It is a fairly new engine dont forget plus my mods.

ok, so if I weren't to bother with the headwork, or balancing of flywheel and just went with cams alone and a 2.0 bottom end how much power would I be looking at with/without cams?

I'm just trying to work out what sort of power I could get for different prices so that I can get a balance between a reasonable amount of power and the amount it will cost me.
