no one has pushed standard internals past 170hp, and only one guy that I know of as pushed past 160hp. quite a few happily pushing out 150hp/150lbft though, all you need is 172/182 injectors, bigger intercooler, exhaust& decat and a good map
id like to do a conversion if I had a spare ph2, as...
LOL FAIL, things always get quickly out of hand, however i owe 15k less than i did this time last year, and i have a bomb proof car that doesnt seem to ever let me down! so mods are justified ;)

of course the sensible option is a 1.8 or 2.0 16v lump but...
the conversion from 1.2 16v to 1.6 16v and 1.2 16v to 2.0 16v need the exact same parts all changed over so its no more work to go for a 2.0 than a 1.6 as i looked into it all years ago. if you fancy doing something different however i would atleast look at a 133hp twingo RS 1.6 16v engine or a...
lets keep in mind though that the ph1s did use a similar airbox and it was changed for the ph2, however the ph2 box is a little quieter making the engine a bit more efficient (apparently!!) so although the espace airbox is better for maximum power the ph2 box is a good compromise for...
on the plus side mk3 DCi's drive so much better especially 106's vs 100's but the fact it uses a different shell means rear arches would be a nightmare
