Posted June 6, 200519 yr i want to make my 1.6 go a little better i already have an exhaust and induction kit, i dont want to spend a fortune cos i am a bit hard for cash at the mo. Any fairly cheap performance mods that will make a difference? cheers!

June 6, 200519 yr A 1.8/2.0 litre engine conversion would be a good start. It's pointless trying to get BHP out of a 1.6 as it has no bottom end power. Edited June 6, 200519 yr by Muzz

June 6, 200519 yr im lookin for a 2.0 at the minute, trouble is finding a mondeo with low mileage dont spose any of you know where marcus managed to get hold of a new one?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> through Giles at G-Sport. look at Lee R and Mk6 Si Ross's sig's
June 6, 200519 yr Or buy a high miler and just chuck it in the car!! Zetecs are strong as fcuk. Chosen correctly, a 100k 2.0L will still have plenty of life left in it. There will be some which do smoke, but listen to a cold start up, make sure there aint a hint of smoke, then plant the throttle and make sure it doesn't hesitate, etc..... Then you can get one pretty cheap. I've just done exactly this, and for a ton of (some unnecessary) new parts, and a pretty steep $300 labour charge, I paid a total of around $650. For a gain of at least 40bhp, it's the only way to go. However, to sort the fueling, you gotta chip it which will prob be around $500-ish. Sorry about the $ signs, they're meant to be pound signs
June 7, 200519 yr yeah, giles cant get them anymore chip is 525 for a unichip round these parts which im gettin done next week
June 7, 200519 yr Sorry about the $ signs, they're meant to be pound signs <{POST_SNAPBACK}> u mean the yanks don't have £ signs on they're keyboards?! RACIST B@STARDS! we have both! £$ Edited June 7, 200519 yr by Mike C
