Default MK3 Fiesta XR2i Upgrades

Hello,

I currently have a fiesta xr2i and am looking to pull some more horses out of it. I have been looking at the twin 40's option, but what parts do I need to carry out the whole conversion. Or is there a more cost effective way to get more bhp such as an engine conversion, but I do like the cvh motors as they are very simple (pretty much all ford motors are though).

I'm not looking for a monster of a car such as 300bhp. Max 200bhp as it will be my daily runner till I save for a sierra cossie !!

As much information would be great guys.

Thanks

XR2i 8V or 16V?

TBH I'd keep it standard and save ALL the money for the Cosworth. 105 hp isn't so bad after all.

Keep it standard and save your money.

With a 16V engine it would be easy and cheap to get 25 extra hp by using 130 hp spec camshafts, tb and ecu.

NOS - that could give you an extra spurt of power as and when you need it, it is instant to! no lag press the button and you are off! - Intend fitting it to mine shortly and been in a fiesta with it in and it was fun! very good for the overtake!
