If your changing the engine anyway I would go for either 2.0 or a 1.6 16v all depends on how much you want to spend

it depends on how far you want to go with it. and if you want the hassle of putting a 2.0 16v in your car, if you dont want to put a 2.0 16v in, then tune what you have! alltho dont spend too much. do a few nice mods, (inlet manifold full exhaust including manifold, and maybe drop a couple of cams in) alltho that would cost a fair bit in itself, and prob need uprated brakes then

You can get a new cam and put it on tb's or carbs, but the 16v engines are a lot more tunable. Also 1.4 isn't really a very big engine to tune up, you'll spend a lot of money and not get much power and loose a lot of reliability...

Thinking of getting a 1.4 SRi engine to replace my 1.2 8v. What sort of tuning can be done to these engines , seeing what sort of power ?

Cheers
