stu999 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 To get help, first you need to help yourself. If you have a full race Mass Xflow in it, then nothing much will make it go faster. However, if it is absolutely bog standard, then almost any well thought out mod will help. Whats the current spec of your engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Cox Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Spend some dosh on a rolling road* 1st. That way, you'll see if the engine is performing akin to it's current spec (i.e. if it isn't, correct any probs before you carry out mods). and you'll also be able to talk to experts who are bound to have worked on many Xflow'd Westfields before (i.e. they'll be more than glad to suggest a whole host of mods - and associated prices - I would have thought). In the end, consider the cost of your mod programme against an engine swap (the latter's at least £3k I reckon...others will know better). However, unless you're a professional motorsports driver, then I reckon quickest (and probably cheapest overall) way to make the car go faster is to learn to drive quick (i.e. get some instruction). Then I'd ensure I had the stickiest rubber, the best and most appropriate brakes and the finest suspension setup known to mankind before I did extensive work on the engine (rolling roaders will normally be able to comment on all those anyway, so they're still worth a visit). *I see you're in Derby. Northampton Motorsports comes highly recommended. So do John Noble Motorsports in Chesterfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ash Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 If it was a Vulcan unit, look at the front left corner of the block, where the engine number is, thay stamp a new number which represents what was done. I.e 135234 = 135BHP 234 cam. Failing that an exchange 135BHP bare engine is around £1000 from Vulcan. This can be upped to 145bhp with nothing other than a cam change. Steve is a very helpfull chap. worth a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
