MG MGF Technical - VVC 140 BHP to Trophy 160 BHP

Apart from the obvious answer ("20 BHP") what is the difference between the 'standard' VVC 140 BHP engine and the Trophy 160 BHP version? Cams?

exhaust and air filter have a fair amount to do with it
Will Munns

The differences are as follows

52mm TB
Extra machining to the head around the valve seat inserts to improve low and mid lift flow.
Recalibrated ECU
Higher CR by dint of taller pistons

Many thanks Dave. I thought the exhaust/air filter route seemed a bit simplistic.

So is the air filter the same on the Trophy as on the standard F then?
