findin a decent s2 engine will be tough

put in a VT engine

or get a proper VT

Ive been looking on the net for a modified engine to swap for my standard vts lump... was thinkin this would be cheaper than to build my block up? Does anyone know anywhere to find them? and what sort of price am i looking at for a decent engine? what sort of bhp/pound am i lookin at? thanks

you could get a VTS block then build up

lightened and blalanced crank
forged pistons
cams
big valve cylinder head
40mm throttle bodies

etc

a lad i no is splitting and S2 ralle so will find out milage and stuff...but what is the Performance outlook ofr the engine cams, turbo etc??

[Joesnow]

well ive already got a vts... but how much would it cost to do all of that to my engine??
how much would a engine with that spec be worth? surely theres a 200hp 9000rpm screacher somewhere to be brought?

ebay? their all custom so i would think they would be hard to come by

yes its at citroen sport and it costs 20k. lol.i
f you want that sort of power cheaper to to go boosted--and it will be drivable

[axsaxoman]

to be serious ,i wouldn,t buy an highly tuned engine s/h unless you really know what you are doing
ask yourself why is it for sale?
an engine which will give power @9k will be ubusable for road and would never pass an mot

If you are looking for 200+ hp go for turbo. Don't waste your money for atmospheric modifications, it will cost a lot.
Other way : You can port&polish, induction kit, exhaust manifold, cams, remap this will be around 150-155hp. Then you can buy nitro and 50hp shot. You will have a nice for everyday driving car and when you want you can have 200 hp. With turbo convertion you can have the same power for almost the same money, but you will not have enough grip. The turbo will make your engine not very reliable because of the much bigger pressure in the cilinders.

I can do the convertion for about 1,5k euro but this will work only for 0,5-0,7 bar. Standart pistons, lowered compression of the head with metal gasket, chinese turbo t28 or t3, custom made manifold, extra injector controlled with MF2 (no remap needed here), intercooler, fuel pressure regulator, blowoff valve, wastegate, boost controller (not electronic ) this gives you about 160 hp.

for the conversion to the 1.6 S2 ralle engine is there nay thing i need to look at e.g ecu 3plug or owt??

103bhp at 6200rpm and gives 97lbs/ft of torque at 3500rpm.
