celsis Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Is there ANYTHING i can do to get a little more torque out of the 1.3? Example. On my way home from work, there's a large hill. If I get a good run at it, I can get up to about 65, no run and I'm crawling! Any ideas? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Only way would be to add somethink major to the engine like a turbo charger/supercharge/tb to it cost a bit of monie. Plus u might have problems with keeping it cool cause of the small size of engine. other option is to buy induction,exhust,decat,chip and cams and hope it makes a inprovement . Or it could end up working out cheap selling ur scort and buying one with a bigger engine in to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSPOOJ Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 sadly..what you've got powerwise with the 1.3 is all your gonna have....unless you spend tons of cash on it..you could put all the induction mods and cams and headwork..but you'll still be so far behind a standard bigger engine..it just wont be worth the outlay....best thing to do is just suffer it till you can upgrade either car or engine matey...sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celsis Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah, I'm the same. I'm just keeping it until about this time next year and then I'll be looking for a big engined cabby! Although I livein Cork, I'm very optimistic, hence the cabby! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
