Best mods for a 1.4 8V? (Power wise) - JethroJay - 26-02-2014
So just thought I'd ask what's the best mods you can do to a 1.4 8V? Want about 100BHP it's running 75BHP now so any ideas? I've already got a cone air filter with a cold air pipe to it so that's been done (+0.01BHP)

engine swap? . . . seriously though it's not impossible but way cheaper to swap engine or car . .

Without anyone inside it with a nice brick wall or lake at the bottom of it?

Nothing that doesn't involve serious expense...and serious expense to bring a car up to 100bhp seems a lot like pissing money into the wind.

It cost me about 4-50 quid to get up to that with mine

How was that?
Edit: just read it is 75bhp, was thinking 60 but that was my 106

Exhaust, decat and air filter more sound that anything though

Ax Gti head and cam / management...done
RE: Best mods for a 1.4 8V? (Power wise) - Eeyore - 01-03-2014
exhaust and decat is pretty much it.
RE: Best mods for a 1.4 8V? (Power wise) - willJspears - 19-04-2014
as said, its pretty much pointless, unless your prepared to replace cams etc. stick a big exhaust and cone filter on, will feel like your going faster because the car is louder
just save you for a gti6 or xsi lump

Nitrous. Blow it up then put new bigger engine in
