1.6 making 195bhp?

[gunner3011]

Just got a text off a mate telling me about a 1.6 clio making 195bhp in fastcar magazine, its white with orange wheels, I've not seen it myself so I know nothing more but has anyone heard of such power from a 1.6 before or even what has been done to acheive such figures?

I'm highly intruiged

What kind of cnut wants a Fastcar feature? What kind of MASSIVE cnut buys it?

 

[Gandi69]

Fastcar is a crock - ironic titling considering half their features are of 1.2s with body kits. Buy PPC instead

On the subject of 1.6's. the new fiesta ST is a 1.6 Turbo, and thats gonna have 180bhp. 195 then isnt that much of a push or out of the realms of possibility.

Just look at the power produced by the VAG 1.4 twincharger lump.

 

[Englebert]

But we're talking N/A...

If you're talking forced induction, the Mini's have over 200bhp from a 1.6.

I don't buy any of the magazines, I was merely asking out of curiosity on the details I'd been told by a friend.i

My friend has the SC cooper s with 250bhp so yea from forced induction it's easily possible but not NA!

The Rep-set on here must be coming up for a group article then

I know of 2 N/A 1.6l engines making 190bhp. They are 106 GTI's engines but its still a 1.6l

ITB's?

 

[Hutchie]

white car orange wheels in fastcar is an f4r

 

[Craig.H]

ITB's?

and the rest, huge spec engines, i would estimate around about 5k to build the engines. One is in a 205, the other a 106 rallye.

 

[geordieracer]

had a browse on internet and as said the one in fast car is a 1.2 converted to 2.0l by Ktec, rs wings and bumpers, resprayed in white, with orange rotas and cage, stripped out.

If I am honest, looking at the pic on the cover of FastCar, it looks quite nice.

Civic EK9 Type R is a NA 1.6 and can make that power with a little fettling :boring:

Usually by sticking 1.8 parts on it though?

Vtec is a completely different kettle of fish mate

 

[KMB]

As the conversation was about 1.6 NA I thought it was worth a mention.

I'm an ex Honda chap with Civic Type R, Accord Type R and S2000 among some of my favourite NA cars owned.

If only they still made some exciting cars :dapprove:

The K series S1600 engines make just about 220bhp at 8500rpm. Not impossible to get power out of a 1600 at all. The 1400's manage similar figures but at even higher RPM...

 

[one in a million]

think that had a 2litre conversion on it
