I'm looking for opinions/specs/dyno sheets on assembling an NA 8v or 16v engine that is putting roughly 150hp to the rear wheels. Cams/sources, CR's, head choice, etc are all appreciated.
Basically, I've decided to do an OHC swap on my 142 because I already have most of what I need, minus a physical ECU (Microsquirt or Speeduino) and some little ancillary stuff (high-pressure fuel pump, swirl tank, velocity stacks). I am planning on adapting a set of liter bike ITB's to the stock 8 or 16v manifold.
So, who's done what? I have a 16v head and associated parts, as well as a complete B230FT, so either route is doable. I'm not afraid of an aggressive cam (something that takes until, say, 3500 RPM "climb on") as bottom end torque isn't the "theme" of this build-
The B20 in the car at the least needs a cylinder head, if not a complete top end rebuild due to some poor workmanship at a local shop. I figure, if I'm replacing a head, I may as well get a somewhat warmed up unit, and that spirals into a $300 cam/gears, $1500 head, etc etc.
