Anyone done this? If so how good value for money is it? I want more speed but dont want to shell out £1000. I would prefere to spend £500. Any ideas? Ive looked into head work, but apparently not really worth it in the WIlliams. ;-(

BBPT do a head package which includes pullys, cams, porting and gas flow of head and manifold, ECU mapped on the rollers to suit your mods, timing and fueling for around £1500. Seems alot but i know but people i know have walked away with 37bhp gains. Doesnt sound alot on paper, but on the road its another story in car that weighs under a tonne.
187bhp willy - NICE
BHP isnt everything, personally im not that interested in BHP...more into torque...
I got a mate whos got a MK1 Escort, whos done alot of head work on it, this thing is only running about 140BHP as far as we know, but this thing is running mid 12s on the 1/4 mile.
The BBPT head package sounds good, im sure u wouldnt be dissapointed with the work done.
So ive been told, i think your right. Lets face it £1000 for 15 BHP is alot. I wouldnt mind spening the £400 on head work if it gave 10 BHP but i dont see it happening.
Nick Hill told me not to bother
BHP isnt really the issue with a Williams - what you need to do to make your mind up is go in a standard Willy and then go in something like Leighs with the full head treatment and higher lift cams. And even better if you are used to a standard valver and one with head work and hotter cams.
But in case you cant arrange all that, heres my opinion on it. 16v needs every bit of help it can get and head and cams work will give it a decent extra bit of poke but nothing thatll set the world on fire. Williams responsds a lot better to a full stage 2 job - mild head work, chip, zorst, higher lift fast road cams eg. Piper 270 and verniers. Id say its better value to spend £1500 on doing a Williams top end, than a valver. Theres a clear difference between standard Williams and a worked on one. As youd expect because of the larger capacity.

lol, i wish! more like an extra couple of grand!

Mate this guys williams is probably the fastest standard one in the country, like most cars you get good ones and you get bad ones and Jons is fukin unreal
with just a powerflow exhaust ,de-cat, and an aftermarket air filter he managed a 14.6 quarter mile, which is faster than any lightly modified 172 ive ever seen
Also i know for a fact his car hasnt been chipped as the limiter cuts in at the standard rpm ( i know this as i took it down the strip and being used to mine i hit the limiter every time
) my williams is chipped and i cant even beat it ! (yet) f**k knows whats times he would get if he did chip it! 14.1??????
lol
trips???
nah i eat them mate lol
oh......chips hehe
nah dont want 1 tbh ......................ill wait for the t/bs ..if i ever get round to it
the 186 at fly was done on the r/r day brun organised, that was featured in PGTI magazine, along with a lot of 172s a v6 etc at re performance in bury.
was gunna try on mine the chip jim has on his before i sold it him but couldnt b arsed lol
wish i hadda dun now tho cos he wont let me borrow it lol
but next thursday im goin to bruntingthorpe with PGTI to have sum proper timing gear strapped to my car(along with 13 others) so i shud have a more accurate reading of 0-60 0-100 1/4 times, along with weight
