what engie mods can i do ?

[lenny_pug98]

hi guys was woundering if any of you pug lovers know of any ways to tune the egine id love to put a new engine in but cant afford it atm but atm just want to tune engine as much as possible also after some modified parts eg. lights, exhaust system or back box, anything really pm me

[Dan!]

If its a 1.4 then you will be best off just stripping loads of weight and getting a nice cold air induction/exhaust. But dont expect to see much power gain, its not a tuner engine to be honest with you

[sam]

Hench v8 save your money and get a gti6 conversoin

[lozz]

Change the inlet manifold for one off a saxo 1.6
Or a 306 1.6

Why does most people on here say it ain't tuneable
It is,

[Blandy]

Anything is tuneable if you throw money at it only thing is realistically the money spent for the gains will be poor as with a lot of n/a cars

[Piggy]

yeah buy a turbo or supercharger kit, one off set of forged rods, uprated headbolts and gasket, stand alone management and wahaay! its tuned and has huge bhp.....

with enough money anything is possible....

[lenny_pug98]

i will start stripping it out in the morning and i do like the idea of a hench v8 but relisticly i need a good air feed and exhauest system but after i do that i will start saving for a gti-6 or just the conversion

[Piggy]

Just note....ensure its running 100%....induction mods on a 1.4 will only change the sound...you wont see gains, you may even loose some power...

a well serviced 1.4 will outrun a diy tuned one anyday...

loo

[sam]

I had a diablo 5 door, started out as a 1.4 then what I thought was the headgasket witch ended up being a coolant hose leeking I had a 6 lump put in best time of my live driving that tbh id have that back over my astor 6 now

[lenny_pug98]

yeah engine runs sweet as but i will give it a service aswell also quick question will a 1.6 manifold bolt straight on to my 1.4 silly question i know but im new to this and dont know alot about the tu engine.....yet

[Piggy]

just save up ya money matey....HGs are bad for going on these and you wont see much bang for buck on tuning unless its big bucks

[sam]

Tbh if you want to stick with the 1.4 I wouldnt worrie about the 1.6 manifold, 1.3 106 rallye head and inlet manifold and a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and youll be around the 100hp mark, mate did it to his quicksilver and the flew kept up with loads of 106 gti's

[lenny_pug98]

i have started saving for a bigger enginged 306 but i was only going to tune my car a little as i only got to drive it for another year or so just untill i can afford to buy a 2liter

[sam]

For the conversion cost you might aswell buy a 6 anyway dude

[lenny_pug98]

yeah mate i just has a look at the 6 conversion and it costs loads of dosh so like you said mate just be eaiser if i save up for a 6 and that way i will have a better base to build from if that makes sense

[darrenjlobb]

Strip the crap out of it, you will be shocked at the difference!

[lenny_pug98]

i will start stripping it out in the morning mate cheers

[sam]

Were abouts is bordon? Is it a 5 door or 3 door?

[lenny_pug98]

[sam]
