Dubmuffin Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 My little sport needs a bit more poke, I'm just wondering what sort of tuning they are capable of?I'm getting an exhaust for it, possibly a nice manifold, already have a CDA but I'd just like to know possible bolt ons to help the little beasty.I've done a fair bit of googling, but the most common answers are exhaust, filter and remap, surely there must be a bit more to it?I'm not looking for track slag, so no chargers, just something to give it a bit more of a grunt under uneconomical driving.Any advice would be welcomed.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James827 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Cam?sports already have a better cam over the 75hp model.Maybe eventually spripping the head? bit of P&P?also remap sounds like a good shout. but depends how much your willing to pay.May not Light up the Rollers but may feel much better to drive, and be quicker where you want it!

Thissy Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 That makes no sense? I never told him to put a 75hp cam on it?Why not? He is saying the sport has a fairly aggressive inlet cam already and therefore cams may not see massive gains for the money. Or at least thats how i interpreted it.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Being abit pedantic, but i think it's just the exhaust cam that is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why his talking about a 75bhp model cam when he has a sport already. Nothing was said about the 75hp model :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubmuffin Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I doubt I'm going to keep her that long tbh, but a 1.6 bottom end sounds like a good shout lads, I have a big of a knock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubmuffin Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It already spins up first and second, could be down to nankangs, but it'd be nice for a little bit more. I don't care about top end speed, I want grunt! And no, I'm not dropping a TDi lump into it!Low end is what I'm after, same as all my cars, torque makes me moist...

SamEdwardSwain1 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 my little 1.0 mpi spins up 1st 2nd and 3rd on continental's and with my old hankooks :')was more fun with the hankooks when playing, but dangerous around corners (spun into a tree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1408 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I got 123bhp out of my arosa sport.. That's with Schrick cams, ported head, 4-1 manifold, decat and full system, lightened and balanced flywheel, CDA and a remap..Goes well for a 1.4 .. Pretty quick low down ran a 15.9 at pod last year not warp speed I know but awesome fun ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubmuffin Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Cams are a good idea, just not 100% on my engine code. I thought it was afk but nobody seems to sell the cams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Howell Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think it's physically possible to break traction in a straight line with 50bhp.49bhp from the factory. Now I dread to think what they have. My old polo 1.0 feels like it has under 40bhp haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubmuffin Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 This may be a really stupid question, but what is the engine code for a '99 sport? I either get told AUA or AFK, can anybody point me in the right direction of the code or anything? Cheers lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's probably an AFK. It should be imprinted on the head I think it is on the left hand side...don't quote me on that though lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few locations; such as above where the gearbox meets the engine. Where the space saver is under the lining there is the sticker. Hope the photos help. Its a 1999 sport also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
