ENGINE MODS

[Valsheda]

A MATE OF MINE WAS SUGGESTING THAT I GET THE HEAD SKIMMED AND PORTED , BORES REDONE AND BIGGER PISTONS , VALVES , CHANGE CAM AND SWAP INJECTORS TO A DIFFERENT COLOUR ........ETC

SO I SAID OK ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THIS

ANYWAY , WHAT IS THIS GOING TO COST ?????

IF I WAS TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD , WHAT WOULD BENNIFIT MY VAN MOST ??????

WOULD DOING ANY OF THIS PUT STRESS ON THE ENGINE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE ??????

WHAT PLACES CAN YOU RECOMMEND TO DO ANY OF THIS WORK ??????

turbo'ng seems to be the cheapest option for big power most just fit a V6 though

How about a 16V head conversion??

This is my plan with mine - although i havent even got the 8V fitted yet
the RS2000 16V makes 150BHP and the scorpio (same engine) makes 136BHP dunno why i think its an emmisions thing!!

I am lead to believe this is a reliavley easy conversion - head swap and mabe ecu swap but i will find out more details (and post them here) before i attempt mine
and after ive done it i will do a tech how too!! - unless someone else has done it - they can post one for me to follow!!!

THANX FOR THE INPUT GUYS , LOOKS LIKE THE HEAD SWAP WOULD BE THE EASIER SOLUTION ,
