   Engine conversion?
   
   Drop a 16V lump in and you'll have 120BHP instantly

   my mate has a 1.1. that pretty quick.
   
   hes had full decat exhaust system with 4 branch manifold
   ported and polished head and remapped ecu.
   
   goes pretty well for a 1.1, goes on strike in 4th gear tho.
   
   revs really well and sounds awesome.
   
   to be honest tho the amount hes spent it would be more cost effective to save up and buy a VTR/VTS or drop one of them engines onto your 1.1.
   
   that 1.1 106 is for sale btw. pm me if your intested and il put you in touch.

   If its an early 1.1, get a decent performance exhuast and air filter on it and it will fly. My mates got a blacktop 1.1 and it kills VTRs with just those mods, completely mullered my 1.4. Well impressed by it. Whether its just a one off or because its got the old style lump im not sure

   yeah that will be good for a guy with 1.1 saxo , if he has a 1.1 its probably because of the insurance or his age.
   if hes as old as i think he is then if he phones up his insurer and says they it was a 1.1 but Ive but a 1.6 16v VTS engine, hes just gonna get laughed at

    Start of with your breathing, get a good air filter and exhaust system and see how you like it.

    if yours is SPI it won't fit, if it's MPI it can be made to fit no problem.

    if it's an early mk1 1.1 then it'll be spi, not sure if the later mk1 1.1's went mpi or if only the mk2 1.1's had mpi.

    again that will be difficult to fit to yours if it's spi. if you look on saxosportsclub i'm sure there's a guide in the engine section which has pics of spi and mpi engines, or do a quick search on here for 'spi' see if that turns up anything.
