is there any point in trying to release a bit more poke out of one of these lookin to get above the 100bhp mark, or would it be easyer to just drop in a 2ltr?

Surely that engine must be aroud the 100bhp mark anyway?

Depends how much you want to spend and how much more power you want.

Alright buddy. You are far better off dropping in a 2.0 litre. The 1.6 is severly restricted by the tiny valves. Is very hard to get much more power out of it without spending major money. Have a look at www.fiesta-si.com/forum Loads of info there about the 2.0 litre conversion. HTH Fletch.
