i have decided to keep my 1.4, any suggestions on engine tuning and power boosting?obviously gonna be expensive, but wanting the cheapest route possible.

sell it and get a 1.2,

my advice

Kent cams used to (and may still) make a fast road cam for the 1.4 and with a remap you might be looking at 95BHP.

But really you are limited by the dire single point injection. (and not the 3 valves per cyl or the 'old' tech engine as some claim)

yeah, its cheaper, and easier to sell and buy a 1.2
its lighter, produces more power, and is only a tiny bit more expensive to insure.

I really wouldn't try and tune that particular engine.

The 1.2 is something i have already been thinking about, however selling is not an option at the moment

why not?

ok sorry to try and take the post, but everyone says go for a 1.2, i have a 1.2 so what tuning can i get done to make it faster?????

tuning wise for the 1.2 there are a few options to take.

what i was going to do, but am not now is as follows. punto box (shorter ratios so quicker pick up, had a few of these already and it makes it a whole lot more lively), full exhaust with de cat and also supersprint manifold, c&b cams, super chip or alike, head work etc.... should see it fairly quick for a 1.2

the cheapest and most effective 1.2 upgrade is an angel tuning remap.
Then, if you dont mind losing a little top speed, a punto gearbox for a couple of hundred plus fitting will see it shave a little time from its 0-60 (and lose that gain after 60+)
just get the angel remap, and that should do you for a while.
