as per title i am thinking about putting a xe in my nova but ive previously had a standard xe and i got too used to the power so fancy something on throttlebodies or generally something with big BHP, or a 1.6 16v on TB's as i will be using the car purely for trackdays and dont really fancy a c20let as running costs throught the season start to go up and also i prefere N/A but let me know what you got PM me if you have something thanks ryan cash waiting.

i have a redtop with a costcast head thats been ported, polished, skimmed and gas flowed. it is fitted with a pair of piper cams and pulleys. there is a pair of twin webber 45's with a manifold. it also has an omex ignition system. the bottem end is standerd. theres also a brand new aultanator.
the head has been removed from the bottom end so it will need a head gasket.
price is £1000

thats what im saying, i dont know. other than modifying the bottom end theres not much more you could do to a c20xe. i also forgot theres an over sized exhaust manifold.
