Hi there and may I wish you a warm welcome to TorqueCars, it is a pleasure to meet you.
FI = Forced induction - ie a turbo or supercharger.
Do you know how much a turbo conversion will cost you?
You'll find us a pretty friendly bunch and I'm sure you'll start to love and enjoy the forums as much as we all do.
Feel free to get involved in our other threads, all opinions are welcome and as they say "the more the merrier"!
Keep us up to date with your project as well, we like to see what people are getting up to with their cars.

dont really want to do a turbo conversion would rather keep it naturally aspirated and just tune it as much as i can without turbo or supercharger
i have been told i can get about 200BHP without turbo or supercharger but not shore what i would need to do to it to get that 200BHP
any ideas what parts will do that
thanks

The best mods for a car engine are as follows.
Internal work yields the biggest gains, head work like porting polishing and 3 angle valve jobs will maximise the airflow and raise the power.
If you want to go to the max then cryo treat the block, get it rebored and look into blueprinting and balancing as well.
Bigger valves are an obvious addon but not all engines are suitable as it depends how close together the OEM valves are.
A fast road cam will yield good power gains, especially in the top end of the rev range. Don't go mad though a profile of up to 270 degrees will give the best gains without the engine becoming cammy.
The most popular power mods are induction kits (which are questionable as power mods but they can sound nice if that is your sort of thing) and sports exhausts with sports catalysts or decats.
To keep the car legal I'd recommend a sports catalyst rather than a decat.
The last mod should always be a remap as this will allow you to fully realise the power gains on offer from your mods.
It's worth having a read of the articles on www.torquecars.com/tuning/ for more information on these mods and what the terms mean.
