Default Newbie question

Hi guys, I have a Rover Coupe here in England and its powered by a Honda 1.6 SOHC engine. Just wanderin what u recommend tuning wise. Already done filter and exhaust, but want more power. Wondering what cam can I get, ecu etc.

What power can I expect? Also, was wondering on a turbo kit but dont know where 2 start.

Hope u can help, thanx!

Find out the engine code (ie. D16A6, D16Y8, D16Y7...) there's alot of companies that make cams for D-series Zex, Crower, Blah blah blah

If you ever want to go v-tech you can pick up a D16Y8 or a D16Z6 head and do a mini me set up. It's fairly easy and cheap to do. Both of those heads w/ Intake manifolds go for about $150-$200 here in the states.
With tuning you can make as much if not more torque & eariler than a B16 (DOCH v-tech) & 130+HP n/a. I've heard turbos on a completely built SOHC making 220+HP

But to pull 220 you need new cams, valves, valve springs, etc.

If i were you i would just buy a B-Series motor like a B-16A2

that would give you the spunk you want
