With full system an inlet and exhaust manifold you should be looking at 120-125bhp i would say. Only saying that as thats what ive seen them at the with mods
get it on the rollers then mate. give you a idea of what you have to work with. i wuldnt say you'd reached a limit with bolt on parts though. cams are a bolt on part, throttle bodies are a bolt on part aswell, although their is the issue of managment with them.
i done know if im wron but i thort if i get everything i can done and then get a remap if that make sence mateand right i know what you ment i just ment add one with out the anything coming of the engine you know
its deffinatly the best manifold i have tried other ad looked around revs up so freely n faster with eash n rev to just under 7k so i gain a bit of rpm somehow
write not a long list
but when the manifold adds around 22bhp
an normly with outlet manifolds you can get 5-8 or something
and the cat back n filter it does ad up
the inlets will add aprox 20-25bhp when used with the correct chip. on std fueling the inlet will add around 15-20hp if a good design (dbillas)
most x16xe's ive seen have bounced off the limiter at 6500rpm. where as c16xe's have shown 6800rpm.
best bet would be some head work next and a pair of fast road cams. after this you'd be wanting a remap.
you could maybe try an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to help get the fueling a bit closer for the time being.
with some headwork and cams set-up and mapped correctly you may be able to get close to 150hp
one of the main things with thee inlets is they do not like open induction kits. you want a filter along the lines of a pipercross viper/BMC CDA something enclosed with a proper cold air feed.
well im going to get the head done but and cams done with adjustable pulleys and in the future i whant a upgrade the crank lightend and balanced but also rebore with pocketed pistion and a few more treats lol obviosly ecu
if your going to aventualy get pocketed pistons then there is no point getting cams first.
its either get cams to fit std pockets soon and not bother with pocketed pistons at all or wait till you have pocketed pistons and then get some proper cams which are abit more aggressive.
a full bottom end lighten and balance is advisable on any spec really so defo worth doing
