Think someone on here got 200hp but it must have cost a fortune. Hard to get a good torque figure too.

100bhp/litre is about the limit without going to throttle bodies on most engines, so 160bhp on a 1600cc.
And all the power is up the top end so you need proper internals to rev high to reach it.

let me know what you want to spend and ill price a suitable motor for you.
my c16xe had cost me over £4k with ex etc too, but could do a lesser spec build.
