I have a k reg rover 200 coupe (1.6), does anyone know of any good performance upgrades availible. Any links would be appreciated. Also would the MG ZR160-52mm Throttle Body fit this model.

 

[Stu]

Yes the 52mm throttle body will fit.

Enclosed induction and decent performance exhaust are the places to start.

 

[magnemitus]

Cheers dude. Also are there any good sites or companys for exterior and interior styling with the coupe's?

Stu - his car is the 1.6 B16 lump. Its honda. 52mm won't fit it.

Doh! Saw the K part, but not the reg after it. took it as K series for some unexplainable reason. Although the missus was running on about something at the time.

Yeah, different engine altogether.

hope he reads this before ordering one from the online shop. lol

 

[magnemitus]

Ok no worrys. Are there any throtte bodies availible for my coupe?

to correct things fully your engine is a D16 not a B16 as ste said.

either D16A6 or a D16Z2 (i dont know the difference oher than the stamp on the block) but tuning parts are readily available from ebay.com

yes you can fit a bigger throttle body, cam. Best routre is to get a good filter, and exhaust, you can pick up an induction kit with an aluminium intae tube from ebay.com for £25 and a sports manifold for £100ish

The what!?

52mm throttle would be a downgrade anyway

 

[Steve220]

rover 220 coupe

ive just bought a rover 220 coupe im after some alloys whats the best to by

alot of the coupes had the d16z2, this was for automatics, but so many left over they just used them instead.

just drop in a twincam (d16a1/8/9) lump, easy to do and a good performance gain will cost only a couple hundred quid too

Or the VVC for £3k.

But for insurance costs, I'd just buy the tubby upfront if you want 200+bhp.
