XFLOW CR

Are those figures with a flat head or chambered head?

I'm aiming for about 120hp out of a 1300xflow. dont think it is so impossible cause we have 1300(4k engines) starlets and 1200(A12) datsuns making that kind of power, here.

power/weight ........120/820*1000=146bhp compared to a 2l pinto 120/975*1000=117bhp.

Any tips and advice(all positive) about building this engine would be appriciated.

ps. is there a book on modding xflow engines and any help websites around??

what is the standard hp for a 1300 xflow engine?

What difference is there between standard 1300 and 1300 GT engine?

re the differences the GT had a higher compressiona and slightly different cam, dont know what exactly but someone will



what you are looking at is the 1.3 2V 70 bhp

Anyone know what sort of power can be had from a 1300HC with stage3 head and twin 40's?

100+ ? with a bigger cam

U can get 100+ bhp from a 1300. U could probably get over 120bhp too, but then your talking all steel spec etc.

Was reading an old Ford Heritage Mag, had a 176bhp mexico mk1 in it. Yum

i'm aiming realistically for around 120bhp. Will start modding after i get the pinto engine swap finished.

I think it would cost about the same to get 120bhp from a 1300 x-flow as it costs to get over 200bhp from a pinto. Not gonna be cheap as it will need to rev stupidly high to get the power. That will probably mean forged pistons, steel crank/rods, etc.

it wouldn't be that expensive really.

forged pistons (from 4agze) 25 pounds
Steel crank and rods if needed (l16 datsun) free
machine work to fit the steel parts free (do them at skool

money will come into play when vavletrain and cam are needed.

tuning tips for a XFLOW head??

I'm toying with the idea of 2lt inlets(1.657in) and 1600 SOHC exhaust(1.357in) in the flat 1300 head.

what should be done to the ports, when this mod is finished?
