I don't really know what to expect from this but I'd be interested in seeing what people would have to say. Don't know if it's ridiculous or not?
However, I was talking to one of my dads friends (who's a mechanic) and we was brain storming ideas about getting more power out of my cinq. It currently is a standard 1.1spi with exception of an induction kit, sportex exhaust, and an 866 cam fitted.
I want to see if I can make it faster without having to do anything too drastic like turboing it. In my opinion it's too expensive and hard to find the parts.
I was wondering if taking the head off, and getting around 1mm skimmed off it, smoothing out the inlet and exhaust ports would work and make a definite increase to power? More compression more power?
Also maybe adding a 40mm throttle body? (Don't know if this can be done to the spi?) and would the ecu be a limiting factor?
May sound an idiot but worth a try?
