GSR kit, full ss exhaust and remap.
Roughly how much would these cost and what sort of gains could be expected??

General GSR kit & full ss exhaust and remap on 1.2 Sporting??
gsr- £160
remap- £199
super sprint exhaust- £?? (look on there website)
but should bring power from 80bhp upto around 100bhp.

probably be seing over 100bhp. Mezzy G was lucky enough to reach 100bhp from jsut the GSR kit and the Re-map for it. so im guessing if set up with a full s/s exhaust (i guess your meaning supersprint) then possibly more.
i was told that someone on the forum had a mk2 sporting RR'ed at 119bhp from exhaust, GSR induction kit and remap :chin:
im sketchy on this, cos i have no idea who, and info was 2nd hand.
pretty good going though! thats about what im aiming for, too

nope, it was jamesMK2 and a 1242 16v
EDIT: oh, he had minor head work and raised compression as well, that explains it.
going by consensus on another forum, about 100 average, maybe +/- 10
with full supersprint everything and GSR kit.

I was thinking of col-blue's 1.4 16v Sporting which made 118.9bhp. I believe his mods were GSR induction kit, remap and Supersprint backbox.
I respect you guys for trying ideas out of the box, however wouldnt your money be better spent elsewhere? By saying this im not having a go, I had a high boost cinq at one point and it was the best thing since slices bread, however the same engine in a punto just wouldnt be the same due to weight.
My personal way of doing things would be to put the biggest engine available into the car and use that as a base to start engine work from. This way you get the best possible gains for a lot less money.

super sprint exhaust full is about £600 with out a cat, that why mine was 2 years of xmas presents.
dave the trike has a sports cat for sale £60 and it be about £20 to have a post cat lambda hole put in

A 1.2 16v handles much better than an HGT. The HGT can only be realistically tuned in excess of 150bhp with spending a lot of money on.
To get serious power out of a 1242 money needs to be spent too, but it will be cheaper than trying the same on a HGT.

i got 100bhp from just a map and a gsr
i think you should be looking to get 110 with a supersprint maybe more

Unlikely IMO. A exhaust even as good as a supersprint won't see a 10bhp again on a N/A car.

why do you say that?
a backbox alone gives 3-4 bhp alone and the manifold and sportscat will give another 7-8.
i remember someone saying that the punto backboxes are crap thats why it gives good gains
a 1.4 sporting like yours chris should get 130 bhp from gsr kit and full SS system its been proved i think
TBH the sporting backbox IS crap (that, or mine was blocked slightly) because even though its just a backbox, i really did notice better top-end in my car.
and usually im the first to slag off this kind of talk as chav BS
and though a full system wont give relatively that much, the gains when mapped will be greater.
that is, if we are talking about a full manifold-back system :chin:

i remember someone mentioning that the backbox on the 12412 16v was crap and not as good as the 8v... cant remember why though...
they have the same b/box both crap, the 8v doesn't have the center silencer just a straight pipe which is better
ahh yes thats what i was thinking of... i knew that :bang:
yeah they are bad, when mine fell off my car picked up alot better in 6th gear from 60-80 mph,

Im in the same boat here aswell , ive got the look sorted on my car just need to start tuning it ....but the only problem is the cost of the exhaust system.
At the last rr day i went to, a 1.2 sporting with a gsr induction kit and a supersprint exhaust system got remaped to 104 bhp .
A m8 of mine thought of a cheaper way than gettin the full exhaust system...... Replacing the mk2 manifold with a mk1 manifold as u can decat the mk 1 and stik a nice back box on it, Would that work ?
