Default Which engine??

Hi just purchased a xr2 which raced in the 750mc about 6 years ago


(WILL BE REBUILT OVER THE WINTER!!!)

Took it to pembrey at the weekend and it went really well but its not quick enough for what we want to do, as it is a cvh in there it will take to much to get it to the 150/160bhp, few questions


what engine would you use for it ??
what is easy to put in??
what would i need and how much to get it to 150/160bhp??

appreciate any help you can give

Zetec on bike carbs, easy conversion and responds well to bike carbs!

Turbo'd CVH works very well and if you add N2O you will have more than enough punch for the overtake!

For reliability I would say a 2.0 zetec on bike carbs but for tuning potential and cost I would say turbo cvh
