XR3i Tuning help.
Hi guys, I am looking at tuning the XR3i, and was wondering what I can expect BHP wise from her?
I have a friend who is an engine builder/tuner who has said he can build me a 200bhp engine, is this really feesable?
Any info on getting the most gains is much appreciated
Oh and she is a MFI
Cheers Lee

Well he reckons by putting a RST head on it, grinding and balancing the crank, lightened flywheel, porting and polishing the head and a fast road cam will give me 200bhp when coupled with my straight through exhaust and manifold and K and N.
Is he talking dog toffee?

I completely agree and thats my dilemma, she is an all matching numbers car at the moment, thats why I was wondering what sensible gains I could get from my engine.
I dont expect her to be the same as hot hatch's nowadays but id like to be able to suprise a couple of people now and again, she is just so lovely I dont want to get rid of her, ive fallen in love all over again lol
