Tigz™ Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Before I make ***** an offer on his air filter, im just wondering if anyone has tried to tune a 50bhp 1 litre and got and solid results from it?Im gonna get powerflow to knock up a twin (or side??) exit exhaust, just for the sound, and Id love a BMG induction kit just for the look of it, but is there any point in trying to improve bhp?I would would rather concentrate on styleing and sounds if not, ya get me?

Alan VW Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 your not going to get much out of a 1L - id think ud be wasting your money on the engine mods.... spend it on ice - and the likes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Thats what im thinking, theres that much I need to get done, I may as well get the car looking the business and the ice scareing grannys and children, then once the warrentys run out, theres time to chuck in a 1.8 turbo!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan VW Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 the only way of a decent BHP increase is to drop a 1.8t into it. brakes need to be upgraded then, then suspension... list goes on..its an expensive road to take. - cheaper to buy a sport / Gti and to modd it. sure i was lookin at a site, with a upgrade for a 1.4 sport - incrase went from 100BHP to 160BHP - that would only eat the road . style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 brakes need to be upgradedBrakes are pretty high up on my "fingz to do" list, just cos im sick of scubbin the brake dust off my wheels every day!I work for a recovery company so gettin sum one to do work is a piece of piss, just need the cash, for a GTi rear disc set up, and big brake front conversion.If I cant speed, I can always stop! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D A N Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Check out TSR's web page. I know they had a 1.4 16V (complete) for sale a few months ago in the Heavy Metal section. They also do turbo conversions for this engine, but may do one for your little 1.0 Loop too :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LupoLunatic Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm gonna take a hit for the 1ltr boys and take a trip down to jabbasport and see how much its gonna cost to dump a 1.8t in and uprate brakes etc...., just down the road from me in peterborough anyway, well worth a laugh!! :thumbs: When i was a bugjam i saw the vr6 lupo done by dubsport now that is a lovely bit of kit, i think also that was a 1ltr shell to start with :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik@aat Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Do an interesting transplant instead:~ The Brazilian Gol uses a 1000cm 16V turbo engine, now that would be fun :devil: Not as quick as a 1.8T but easier to do and a real show stopper style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />There's another 10bhp to get from your 1 ltr for sure style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LupoLunatic Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 well that is one of the many roads i might go down , just fancy 1.8t with nos pos? any way i think this will be all in vain cos the lad with the gti'r just text me to let me know he's gonna get an rx7 in the nxt few weeks . I've seen and read about the the dubsport vr6 lupo, now that is dope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 I wouldn't get a 2.8 VR6 engine mainly cos it's way too heavy (2800cc)Stick to a 1.8T with 180bhp or so. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 mmmm, all this power. Your front wheels may be going 150mph but the rest of the car may be stationary.LOL style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
