poisonrose666 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking at getting my first Lupo. I'm just wondering what the difference between the normal 1.4 16v is and the sport, and how it gets more power. Is it something as simple as some cam work or is it something different?Cheers.Robert.

DOm 12332 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 There is loads of threads on this btw but from what i have read the differences from the 75 bhp 1.4 and the 100 bhp 1.4 is:inlet manifoldthrottle bodyinlet cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 As Dom said, theres things he listed and a few other little things. There quite a few threads floating about on the forum about this.If you want 100nhp buy the sport. There is no point in taking a 75bhp engine and trying to get 100bhp out of it when you can just buy a sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonrose666 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Cheers guys, I though I might buy the s because there's a few going at a good price and do the work later due to me being a mechanic, but I might just save a wee bit more and get the sport anyway and do the work to that. Just quickly, does anyone know a mileage when I should be looking for certain problems? E.g. is 100000 miles a lot for these little engines.Cheers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Buying a sport will work out cheaper (and a lot easier) than modding a S.If they're looked after the engines will go on forever. The things to look out fo with high milage cars are the same as every other car; rubber bits, suspension, rust, cambelt etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonrose666 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Nice one. Thanks a lot. Like I said to be honest, none of these are too much of an issue as I'm a mechanic so it's okay. Thanks again. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
