Well. Standard 1.1 is 60 BHP i think, what mods you thinking?

Text talk is frowned upon on the forum so in the future try to avoid using it.

BHP will all depend on what Mods you are thinking of putting on the car?

Best mod - sell it and buy a proper engine sized one!

A standard 1.1 with mods you say?
Can't be both

Unless you go for forced induction then any gains you get will be placebo.

How many mods?

31st January 2013, 13:16

Best off getting a 1.4, put a s1 rallye inlet on, 4-2-1 manifold, sports exhaust, and air filter will improve performance and keep your tax, insurance down, I mean that's the reason you have a 1.1 in the first place if I'm not wrong?

with the right mods, will be good for 400bhp, no problem. And I'm not being sarcastic.

Mods include:
1.6 16v engine from vts.
extensive engine and headwork.
large turbo.
inlet and exhaust sorted (including 3" full system)
standalone ecu.
uprated gearbox/diff/shafts.
whole bunch of other stuff.

Budget around £8k - £10k, more if you're not doing any work yourself.

Then you'll have a 400bhp saxo that looks like a 1.1

Hope that helps

why not go for the real deal 1.3 rallye engine?

31st January 2013, 14:44

Good point, but finding a half decent one for less than £1k is not gonna happen to be fair, iv owned an s1 and I've recently tried to get another one, a lot of nails about

31st January 2013, 14:46

Sorry miss read* why get for a 1.6 rallye engine?

31st January 2013, 16:54

Me and my brother were going to do a turbo'd 1.0 as we have one but how would it get more fuel as its single poing injection ? Or can you buy bigger ones to fit ?

bigger injector / additional injector added controlled by dastek or whatever.

Nah mate don't do any engine mods with a 1.1 With myn all i do i make it look nice and have not touch the engine! When it comes to exhaust i will just put a superspint on it so theres not gonna be any gains really.

With a 1.4 the most i would do is put a induction kit on it, i'm just waiting for my insurance to drop before i get a VTR.

Because it's just a 1.1 and there would not be any decent gains, wouldnt it be worth just saving at least for a 1.4?

Being "worth it" is subjective and your opinion!

For a few hundred quid you could double the power or thereabouts, have fun building it, learn a little, then brag about how you've a boosted 1.1!

Not dissimilar to people seeing a saxo with £10,000 thrown at the engine and saying "should have bought a real car".
Where's the fun in that?

That's a fair but, so what would you do? Just curious here

31st January 2013, 18:56

I'd boost it to fuck personally. If it was just a project for fun, boost ta fuck! Welded manifold, gt17, dastek, then try and run a bar on standard internals until something lets go. Then just lob another engine in - cheap as duck so what does it matter?

31st January 2013, 19:08

Lol I like it, will go like fuck for a bit of fun, be a great sleeper
