How to get more power

[dirty_escort]

Hey, in the next couple of months im thinking of upgraded my BHP due to my insurance coming down..... basically I dunno what to do or what i could do with my 1.4i, i don't really wanna change engines but might if i can't do alot with mine.... basically my engine at the mo is totally standard, what else can i do, what price will i be looking at + what sort of BHP would i get out of it?

 

Thanks Pete

nothing!! see ya soon

your looking at a new bigger engine mate, you wont really get any power gains thats noticeable from that engine

the 1.4 is a shite engine. get a 1.6 out of a XR 2or 3i. or even better a RST.

the prospect of installing a new engine any links where i can see whats on offer and prices...... im gonna do a search now

gotta be a new engine if ya want more power, 1.4 aint really tunable at all.

 

2.0 Zetec is still the best to go for IMO, but cos urs aint a zetec, u'd have 2 change engine mounts etc, but get a few quotes to see what u can find.

 

If u have 2 stick 2 CVH then get an RST lump in there

i've got a 1.4. and yeah it is pants.

Agreed. Anyone know if a USA 1900 CVH will fit on the mounts? If i'm upgrading i still lookin for a 3i but i've heard mad t6hings about yank lumps and theres a a bashed one near me.
