More power

[Moonwalker]

Hi guys,

There's probably been hundreds of posts on here about this, but here goes.

I've got some spare cash going, (around £850)

Could I modify any part of my engine to gain more power on this amount of money? And if so what could I do?

All comments welcome as always.

Could buy another '6 for that, strap them together, instant 343bhp...

Haha! Good shout mate!

I am on the lookout for another one I'm gonna garage for the winter. But I fancy getting a wee bit more power out of my Phase 2!

Set catcams from pug1off the same as mine for £400 ish I think

Mine have been dyno'd at 193 bhp and have 267 of duration the biggest you can go before you have to start messing about with internals

How easy are these to put into the engine? Do you need to remove the engine and re-time it etc?

Cambelt off and replace, cam carriers out, reseal and fit cams, Time them in, as for being easy it depends on what you know, I supply CAT Cams as well

Mine are these,I believe they require you need to retard by 3 degrees

Are these the cams 7057Sam has?

Be VERY careful putting cams into the RS engine. Especially if it has had any kind of rebuild including a head skim.

Best way to make your car quicker for that money would be lighter wheels and tyres. And a diff - just night and day difference to how much speed you can carry.

Thanks for the advice, I will get that done, I'm getting a full exhaust system and new manifold fitted at Peugeot Eccosse as well, hopefully this helps her pull a little better.

Make sure the exhaust is lighter too

It is,

This is the one I'm thinking about?
