Hi fellow tuners,
I recently became a Tigra owner, which besides the exterior styling, is pretty factory default. So I believe it has a standard X16CE 1.6L 16V engine, that has less than 100 horsepower, right?
If I would like to upgrade my Tigra to over 300 horsepower, what should I do?
I've read that, for starters, I would need a (calibra's) C20LET engine (a RED TOP version), right?
If it would need to have a complete new engine, is it possible to put in an engine from a different carbrand? Like a V8 Chevy or so? Or has it something to do with size?
If it maximum can only hold a C20LET as being the 'biggest' engine for a Tigra, where should I look for to get my hands on a Red Top C20LET Turbo and all the other parts necessary to make my Tigra 300+ hp?
And overall: What all has to be done, engine-wise / mechanic-wise, to change my Tigra into a powerfull race-car with 0-100 under 5 / 6 sec.?
Kind Regards,
Pallemans
