16v tuning

[Jamesyboy]

Right as of the 20th my new calibra is gettin to be dry stored, and worked on for a few months, and i need some serious ides on how to tune this engine up to the best it can be without (hopefully) taking the engines to complete bits, the engine is comin out of the car as i wanna do the timing belt and clutch. If you can provide links and prices and any kind of guidance with things or what to do would be appreciated.

I already have a power cap, induction kit, (which oddly runs fine with it) and i think there may be more because god it goes like s**t off a shovel, as quick as the v6 if not quicker!!!!

How much you want to spend ???

Cams
head work
Chip
Manifolds
Exhaust


all not very cheap

[Jamesyboy]

not over fussy for money as its gonna get done over a few months. What can be done to the head, and any guesstimateions?

[Jamesyboy]

what im really looking for is where i can get parts from at what price and where anyone would reccomend gettin bits from etc.

[v6 steve]

you would be better and cheaper to buy a c20let and stick it in

[Jamesyboy]

awww im no wantin to change the engine now, i like the one thats in it, im just wantin to really give it some welly turboless really.

[v6 steve]

if you are looking for v6 power from the red top its going to cost you

[Jamesyboy]

But if you read my original post, i swear down its as quick as my v6 was, (the whole 3 days it ran properly) lol i do wonder what its already had done to it, and i will look when its off the road.

Decat pipe and decent exhaust for a start. See what you are getting at the moment and decide what you want to acheive. You'll probably find you have around 160 as it is.

throttle bodys anyone

just ask phantom

SBD exhaust manifold works well on the C20XE and well priced then a decat and a good exhaust and not a powerflow.
