Performance :

Engine port and polish.
Port and polish throttle body.
FFE
K&N air filter(cold optional)

pocketrocket-please put some pictures of your zen so comments and suggestions can be made.

revtech · 13th April 2007, 19:49

do you want a carb esteem engine or mpfi ? why not go in for a 1.6 l engine ?

v1p3r · 13th April 2007, 21:09

Remappe ECM would suggest he wants an MPFI car.

Costs vary from city to city, but I would suggest a twin-cam 1300 setup. More power, and if you ever want to go turbo, it will hold higher stress levels. And the rear disc job isn't going to be easy.

pocketrocket · 13th April 2007, 22:32

You know its supposed to be a daily use car.
With a few races thrown in.

revtech · 14th April 2007, 00:24

yea i figured.....but maybe if he wants to cut down on cost he can get a carb....so then no need to remap.

I have been already thrashed on one of the threads for suggesting this
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...tions-plz.html

I agree that spark plugs can't increase the potential power that an engine can generate...... but a more efficient spark will provide more efficient combustion and associated performance and economy benefits. I thought they will compliment the other performance mods. Isnt that the case???

No man, the stock spark plugs can handle this sort of outcome pretty easily. Unless you are going forced induction or changing compression, I don't think you need different plugs.
