If you can get hold of a s2 rallye head then get one. Has bigger and better everything.
Im currently at 150bhp, running a 645 cam which is as lairy you can go without valve contact. If you want to go a bigger spec, forge internals are quite unknown territory on 8v's but people have done it.

not trying to decry your motor or say its not a good conversion /
BUT
no way you will get a REAL 150 bhp with out using a cam that needs cut outs in the piston
thats 50% + increase on std power !!!
for real 150+ bhp you will need ITB,s and wild cam and at least cut outs in pistons or special forged pistons .
as for being unknown terrority -- been done many times before over the last 20 years on all sorts of 8v Tu engines by real tuners - carbs definately a backward step --you need fully promgrammable ecu to get seriuos power
yes wayne at chip wizards can do it to your ecu --but don,t go until you have completeled all mods or it will cost you another £3-400 for another remap
this is hwy a predator ,which is plug + play to your wiring loom is the most economical way to get the flexibility you you are looking for. or go for a stand alone of your choice ,which could be moved to any other car later if you wish
Linear Mode
