Warming up an S-3 2.25
Discussion
No doubt people have dabbled with try to extract some more ponies out of these little monsters, but how?
If I was to fit bigger valves and do some port and polish work, Have the cam shaft reprofiled for more torque, match port the intake manifold and fit a nice webercarb along with a set of extractors and a bigger diameter exhaust
Am I going get a noticable increase in power.

Automotive componenet remanufacturing services do quite a few parts you can fit including gas flowed heads, carb conversions, manifolds and so on. About 10 years ago I bought one of their heads for a 2.25 s2a and it in all honesty made no discernable difference! They are supposed to be able to get them over 100bhp now though so could be worth talking to them.

looking at their link they can get nearly 120bhp now with a 2.8 conversion!
Another way forward which we are trying on a s2a at the moment is fitting an eaton supercharger. This should put it up to about 100bhp at a guess.

My aim is to have a reliable motor that will pull the load she has too and still return me reasonable economy and 100ks on the bitumen, my trailer is the back and hardtop of a lwb S2a with a trailer axle, I am converting this into sleeping accomadation and storage, m y 3 has a full length roof rack mounted to the lower body,the trailer will have one of these too she will be fairly wieghty, so I have to have an engine that will handle this, so wether the little 2.25 will handle this I dont know, I have local options like v-8 conversions and 6 cylinder conversions and tehn fit LPG so its economical, I will keep gathering info and see what I come up with
Hi,
I'm running an ACR conversion kit on an 88" Series One - it sounds like a little rally car and goes really well, evein on 7.5 R 16 tyres. It is the cylinder head and inlet manifold kit which includes an SU carburetter and free-floe silencer. Well worth the money and the technical support from ACR is great too.
