Good induction kit for about 150-200. Straight through exhaust system and backbox for about 100-150. Rip the back seats out, and other weighty things if u wana go this route. Get the engine remapped for a few hundred.

x16xe - about £300
Inlet - £200

about 120bhp, more if you remap and fit exhaust

Topshot hit the nail on the head.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, my 1.4, with 116bhp was NOT as quick as a 106bhp 1.6 (standard)

£300 on the 1.6 engine is the best money I ever spent.

Totally wrong way about it IMO. Re-mapping is the last thing you want to do. Start by binning the standard inlet for a Mantzel or E-Bay copy. Theres a few in the classifieds at the mo. This will give a good gain. Then you can do things like exhaust etc. Then re-map it. You should see a healthy increase.

deffo as above inlet manifold. preff a mantzel or lexmaul but an ebay special will be almopst as good. then i would have a full exhaust system and performance air filter in the standard air box with a good cold air feed. i would leave my car at this untill i could afford headwork cams verniers and a remap.

but like we said why spend it on 1.4 just buy a decent 1.6 16v for £300ish which will be better than 1.4 and inlet and still have ability to tune the 1.6 later

Isn't it called insurance?

Tuned 1.4 costs more to insure than a standard 1.6
