1.4 power - NottsPug - 11-07-2013
Hi all probably a daft question but is there and kind of chip or something you can put in the cars ecu to get more power? or am I talking crap lol
RE: 1.4 power - Matt - 11-07-2013
Nope, nothing really. Any chip that claims to work... Really doesn't
RE: 1.4 power - 4WayDiablo - 11-07-2013
Save your pennies for a DTurbo/gti6
If you're hell bent on the 1.4 then you'd probably have to look at turbos and supercharges.... Then it gets very expensive just to hit the power of a gti
RE: 1.4 power - Matt - 11-07-2013
Stripped, cams, throttle bodies, lightened everything. Might just keep with a '6 lol
RE: 1.4 power - Grant - 11-07-2013
Drop a 1.6 106 GTI 16v lump in it. Turbo charge that. Could be fun
RE: 1.4 power - underground375 - 11-07-2013
Not much can be done on a small engine car, unless it come with a turbo from factory.

Doesn't need to come with it from factory, can quite easily slap a turbo on anything with enough knowledge/money/time
RE: 1.4 power - NottsPug - 11-07-2013
Cool cheers everyone. Iv got a gti6 but I'm not keen so going to flog it.. keeping hold of my little run around for now :-)
RE: 1.4 power - Grant - 11-07-2013

There's some in the member cars photos section under new Gti6 it's a China blue ph3

As said above nothing you can do without spending £££
If you want to do some tuning and get some power but still hold onto sone reliabilty/mpg/sensible/good run around insurence flogg both your cars and get a hdi or XUD
RE: 1.4 power - k3ogh - 12-07-2013

RE: 1.4 power - NottsPug - 12-07-2013

No.
RE: 1.4 power - k3ogh - 17-07-2013
No what? It was/is
RE: 1.4 power - Rippthrough - 17-07-2013
Seriously, you think there's magic fairies in V-power that suddenly add 5bhp?
...

You might have an extra 0.2bhp if that...

no! its the V power sticker that adds 5 bhp!! duh
RE: 1.4 power - Piggy - 18-07-2013
that and a 'turbo' sticker and you'll easily see 100bhp

Nah, you need an ebay filter and sportex back box for that
RE: 1.4 power - k3ogh - 18-07-2013
O shit i forgot to mention the sticker i need to add haha, maybe not 5 but vpower really makes a difference, you should try a tank of it i was impressed, im getting a extra 100 miles per tank, 600 odd
RE: 1.4 power - Rippthrough - 18-07-2013
I do run VPower, because I have to due to the compression bump.
Re: 1.4 power - THE_Liam - 19-07-2013
Pffft, I'm too tight to bother with fossil fuels these days. I try to use rapeseed oil though, as I reckon it produces more power than sunflower....
RE: 1.4 power - Midnightclub - 19-07-2013
Does the 1.4 even have a knock sensor?
RE: 1.4 power - k3ogh - 19-07-2013
They do yes mate

Late ones have a crude one, early ones don't.
It can't advance timing anyway, only retard it if it detects knock
RE: 1.4 power - Midnightclub - 19-07-2013
Then I doubt it'd even make .2 hp difference lol
RE: 1.4 power - Rippthrough - 19-07-2013
You'd probably loose a slight bit of power if anything, slower burn time.
RE: 1.4 power - Midnightclub - 19-07-2013
Ha! That's true
