A mate of mine had a Sunny GTi with a close approximation of the same engine as we're talking about here, skimmed 1mm off the head and had some light port work done and made 170bhp, exhaust and cams were stock.

Apparently there are exhausts manifolds available for the RWD DE engine but I've never seen one listed anywhere.

I was hoping to have mine done by now, but as I managed to miscalculate the amount of material to grind off the shims (0.5mm too much) I'm trying to a) find some second hand shims, b) work out the exact amount to take off.
