Not std on Vitesse or Tomcat only some Ti's for some reason.

You said you know your 2 cars, obviously not, you look into it a bit more and you would be surprised, i been there done that, got 218bhp from a 1.4 engine 15 years ago, a lots changed now, same engine 300+bhp, T16 over 800bhp i just read, unreal, 200bhp std turbo to get 230bhp, simple's

Keep it std then if you want reliability, they are good std, soon as you mod, smething else is put under strain, especially with a turbocharged car, 620 Ti probably the best motor to have the T16, better than Tomcat, 800 Vitesse, etc, more stealth than wealth.

You can run 260bhp on std internals with a T16. You asked for info, we are giving you the info, take it or leave it, BUDDY

Plenty of people running 400bhp+ from T16, including one chap who has a Maestro turbo powered with a T16. Nothing wrong with Motobuild, i used them a lot, no worries, very helpfull, they did a lot of work for the big power T16's also. Yeah, of cause you need to sort the internals for big...

T16 lump is a good engine, similar to YB cossy. Can make up to 600bhp too but it'll cost ya. Try dropping a Pulsar turbo on it, near straight fit and gives around 230 bhp on std boost, add a Non Reciprcating bleed valve and 250bhp no probs, on low boost. Moto build best for mods, they do...

My 145 bhp 1.7 Puma did 2.449 for the 60 and the Focus (310bhp) rs engined did 2.378 that i went against on that run.

Rwd, as 4wd cannot spin a easy, unless loads of power and even then they can bog down on the line. Porsche 911 great, as rwd and engine over wheels, a great combo for acceleration, same with Hillman Imp, see them blast off the mark, as with rear engine bike conversions and mid engine with rwd...

Are they racing :lol:

2 good mods for the Ti - Non reciprocating bleed valve, same trick as normal bleed valve but somehow works in reverse, so sh*t loads of boost and less lag, had one on my 820 Vitesse Turbo. Also had a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R turbo fitted inplace of the std turbo, few minor mods required but...

The heads off the Twin plennum Rover Vitesse V8 should fit on and they have the higher compression ratio, that is the main difference as well as adding tubular exhaust manifolds they make a lot of difference on the Disco

Cheers all. Pics, waste at moment, looks totally std :P

De tomaso Pantera 50's / 60's models Ford Thunderbird. Alfa Romeo gt junior Lancia Fulvia ......etc etc etc

On a 1.1 engine, 2" exhaust is probably too much, de-cats are good but only with branch manifolds, to get full effect.
