Would need a wild cam, throttle bodies and standalone ECU for that sort of power.

A Kent Cam PT41 might be up to the job?

[stephen34]

ye have been talking to sandy and looking on rallye forms and could bring it up to 150-160 with the ph3 and one of his kits with a good map an ecu for about £1500

It takes a bit more than that, ie headwork, exhaust, valve pockets, but still not mega bucks for nice punchy 8v.

[stephen34]

ye going to call a few places up this week and get a few ideas on tunning

[VTR_Craig]

You want a decent cam and headwork followed by a good remap and you should be on the good side of 130bhp

[stephen34]

like i said running ph3 cam so going to get some head work port and polish throttle body and inlet :) then remap or more

[Liam_]

Polishing your throttle body/ porting the inlet is going to do very little/ nothing.

I'd look into ITBs and a wilder cam (PH3 is farily mild) personally - Sandy Brown is the man to speak to. ;)

id save ur money and just get a cammed vts lump, why have 130-140bhp when u can get alot more from a vts with TB's etc..

[stephen34]
