Loopydaviet Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 just wondering what the best mods are to do performance wise to a 1.4 16 v s 75 bhp? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserWill Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sell it and get a GTI? Sorry, couldn't resist, but in all seriousness there isn't much that can be done for relatively little outlay, use the search, it comes up an awful lot haha.Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoJoe Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yepp this has been asked numerous amount of times.. Get a performance air filter and race exhaust,, Nothing else will help unless you want to spend £200 on 8bhp if you do, get it re-mapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you are competent with the tools then the est bang per buck is with a polo gti engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjj26 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 what about fitting the complete turbo off the 1.4 tdi loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Considering the derv is a 3 pot he would have to get a full manifold made up, plus I don't think diesel turbos are set up to take a higher revving petrol engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjj26 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 what abot the 1.4 tsi manifold and turbo bonnet might need modifcarion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) It has been discussed before on another thread and in sure it was said that it would sit wrong and as you said would majorly foul the bonnet Edited April 29, 2012 by scotty_82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Theres not realy anthing thats worth doing.. if you want a fast car a 1.4 lupo is not realy for you. although as mentioned above induction kit and exhaust system with a remap could gain around 10bhp max ,and depending how handy you are with a tool kit a sport gearbox has lower ratios so will get up to speed faster (not top end though)money would be much better spent on coilovers,poly bushes and uprated brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Dont waste your money on the engine... its pointless! spend it on some good coilovers, nice wheels and things to make it look better... get air if you have enough money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 money would be much better spent on coilovers,poly bushes and uprated brakesThis man is correct.+ good tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
