Same engine, two very different set-ups. Sports are also higher spec all around because of the extra power i.e. rear disc brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niche Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 ah ok thenso if i wanted to increase the bhpi would need to improve the.... throttle body (whatever that is) and ecu?If you wanted to improve the power. Sell the 1.4 16v 75bhp and buy the Lupo Sport 1.4 16vbhp. That would be far cheaper.If your planning on spending serious money then keep your 1.4 16v 75hp as the throttle body on that is driven by a cable and not fly-by wire. So it's easier to get a larger diameter throttle body that would be compatible with your car, then you can change the camshafts in the engine (head off job) for a higher ratio and finally you can get your ECU remapped...although after all that you may as have gone and bought a GTI.

Lukus 9N Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Aye, no lies. It had one ex-owner, a women who loved it and it even had a cushion in the back with her surname on it when I got it.No engine transplant, no modifications, just 100bhp not 75bhp. Go ask VW why...
