   yeah it does. not alot. maybe 2bhp. its because of the vtr 1.6 inlet is abit bigger than the 1.4. going to do it to my 1.1 with a 1.4 engine. salvaged my 1.4 engine from my furio which got wiped out by a bus . 1.1 gearbox + 1.4 engine. close ratio gearbox will rocket you off the line quicker than most things. (but dont hold me to that)

    cheap options straight through, decat 4-2-1 mani
    real power that + the below.
    bike carbs and cams, skim head, bore it out = win on 1.4 you actually get very good gains its just not very cheap. for less you could you could stick a 16v in.

    is the rallye head hard to come by?
    would it be better to have the vtr or rallye head? or are they the same?

    rallye head would be better, it allready has an uprated camshaft. Or you can fit a VTR head with wilder cam
