   been done?
   worth it?
   
   
   167bhp in a can of beans would be great fun!
   
   much more torque etc than a 1.6 vts too id imagine?

   If you want straight line speed then stick a bigger engine in and foot the bill for the fabricated parts. Probably better looking at a lighter car than a saxo though and a bigger engine than the xsaras.
   
   If your after speed & handeling then tune your vts.

   Oh im not after the engine, just wondering if it's been done,
   
   I had same option with my corsa
   
   106bhp
   
   or shove an c20xe in 150+bhp straight away
   
   But I tuned my corsa to 140ish bhp instead
   
   
   Id imagine a cam'd xsara engine with breathing mods would run lew than 14 down the strip in a stripped saxo though?

   this ideas been discussed to death already so the search will bring up a lot of info and opinions.
   205 mi16 will get 14.3 quarter mile so i'd expect the xsara to be around 14.9 standard. It takes a lot of power to break the 13's so i'd estimate low 14's for a cammed xsara pushing roughly 180-190bhp
