Theres tuning parts for both out there, but you can obviously get more out of a 1400 16v.

My car is a 1400 8v rally prep'd engine pushing 142 BHP whereas I know of a guy with a 1400 16v rally prep'd pushing out 190ish BHP

This is seriously costly though.

If you are going to do it, why not just go for a x16xe? Similar cost to the 1400 Sport engine and that extra bit of power.

the 16v mounts wont fit cos of the chassis legs, unsure if the 8v SRi ones will be ok, may need to get some made up
