S33GAV 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Some inlet catcams seem to be a very good and cheapish upgrade - would be a nice one for starters I reckon. Seem to produce a good 15+bhp increase and apparently make a good difference to the feel of the mi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted March 24, 2006 As above really - Catcam inlet-only cam, or a pair of Kent 262 regrinds (PT1601) have both been proven to work and generally give you in the region of a genuine 170-175hp. Kent 262 regrinds are about £160 and the Catcam about £230 from memory. A search will bring up lots of information on these - Taffycrook in particular has posted alot of useful information that's well worth reading If you haven't already done so, I would seriously look into spending some money replacing the bearing shells on the engine (assuming they weren't done prior to the engine being installed, and the engine isn't a refurbed item) as these are a weak point on Mi16's. Cambelt is a good idea if that's not been done as well, and of course making sure the rest of the car is upto handling the increase in power you're planning - brakes and suspension in particular.
