Right, here goes I've got about £1000 to get more power from my 1.6 sport, I have pretty much have no knowledge on what to do to gain more power etc! So any help/ideas appreciated!
I'm currently running a 1999 1.6 sport with a pipercross air filter and it seems when i have 2 or 3 more people in the car it doesnt pull at all!
Cheers,
Chris

Get a MAntzel/Dbilias inlet manifold then a remap, should see you 125bhp+

1k will cover bike throttle bodies and management.
That will leave you around the 150bhp mark.
More if you fit cams, and pocket your pistons.

how will this be under 1k? 
Manifold £400
Remap £300+?
Manifold and system would be over £400

Best way to go on a budget is Mantzel or Dbilas inlet manifold. The inlet on the 1.6 is vey restrictive. Without binning that theres no point in doing anything. Throttle bodies are the best bet if you have the money. Dave A can help you out with them

Inlet-£150
Megasquirt ecu-£200
Bike tbs-£100
Mapping £300+
That will give more power than a inlet box etc.

Cheers Vaux Lad,
What power would i be looking at there?
How much you reckon for labour?
Will there be a more distinctive engine sound?

Mapping is your best bet for low down improvment me thinks.
Putting on an inlet might give you some 4000rpm power but low end might even suffer if the air isnt moving fast enough.

So how much power (roughly)would a gsi engine, lexmaul inlet manifold, viper, exhaust manifold and system, and one of them remaps regal do? Anywhere near 130 bhp?
