alright toby..

this question has been asked loads of times

u have lots of options when it comes to modifying your ep91

if you look round this site ull find all the info u need just use the search engine.

this is what i would recomend from a preveius post

start off with an airfilter...there are loads to choose from.

you dont necisarily need to lengthen the induction pipe. an uprated cone filter can be mated to the throttle body then a couple of cold feed pipes can be directed from the fornt of the car to the airfliter like mine. the induction roar form this mod is well fruity

this can ad upto 3-5bhp

next get a ree flowing exhaust..prefrable a custom one...have the bore increased about 1/4 of an inch over standard.. no bigger then this or you run the risk of loosing precius backpressure (torque) get rid of the cat..but only do this if the place thats fitted the custon exhaust will put your cat back free of charge on come mot time.

loosing the cat can ad about antoher 3-5bhp. a full straight throgh could ad about 7bhp

then...i would consider getting a throttlebody off the turbo..and mabe a pwer boost valve.

because your car can now breath more easily and expel gases alot quicker..the throttlebody+pbv will supply more fuel to the mix.

u should see subsantial gains after this mod...

then and only then fit a super chip to make sure everythings runnin right.

u should be happy with the results of these mods and your car will be substantualy quicker.

u want more... cams r the way to go but be warned they make the little engine alot peakier in power delivery and u loose bottom end torqu at the same time. not realy recomended on a tiny 1.3.

thats about all that can be done to the 4e-fe without spendin wads of cashola.

if i was u id translplant a 5e engine..(1.5)like me. its a cheap straight forward mod thats friendly on insurance too and u get instandant power gains with out all that screwin about (25-30bhp)

hope this helps toby

Thanks mate that well helpful. Can you tell me where i can get a 5e engine and how much it's roughly gonna cost. As well as this can you tell me how you got our SR so decked to the ground. it looks amazing!!!!!

I sometimes have 5E-FHE engines. 108bhp 1496cc. Should be fairly straightforward to fit.

I have just looked at your website. Obviously your engines vary in price with milage etc. but could you give me rough prices on converting my sr to a 5e engine. Also maybe a rough quote on a 4e-fte conversion? Cheers Toby

rough prices for engine+ancileries vary form 300-600 nicker

and the same again to get the thing fitted
