de-catting a 1.2

[nobblebonce]

as above

is it worth it or not - what would you recommend

 

[White16valver]

Someone on here posted up last week I think about this - de-cat and induction kit and some headwork saw them go from about 58 bhp to 72 I think?

 

[Da]

I have a de-cat for mine, just awaiting fine weather to fit it!

Wouldnt think the jump would be that great but it does make a noticable difference

 

[nobblebonce]

what de cat would people recommend - also what engine work would you suggest

 

[Maxx]

de-cats all pretty much the same. k-tec do silenced ones tho. You can do plenty of engine mods but most people will say its not worth it

 

[ajketley]

fit it! Youll notice everything free up a bit more but chances are your induction kit, if you have one, is losing you a bit of power. It was for me!!!

 

[Da]

I'm fitting mine whether or not it gains me anything besides the noise increase

 

[16v_jon]

it will be louder
you should expect a little more low down torque esp on a 8valve engine
buy an old 1.2 16v/8v one and smash the insides out of it
fred has 2 or 3 for sale iirc

my mate has a 1.2 16v same as mine except has good cold air feeds, decatted and super chip he wheel spins at start of 2nd gear lol

 

[theduck]

b3nje anyone can wheelspin at the start of second if they want to lol.

 

[b3nje]

not me especially with these 17's on AND grip !

 

[b3nje]

my old 15's were basically slicks on the front and didnt spin in 2nd!

 

[Martin_172]

i can make my 1.2 16v wheelspin at the start of 2nd when its dry too just not good for mr clutch lol infact ive had my mums 1.2 16v wheelspinning in 3rd when it was wet!

about the de-cats though what about the emissions light does it come on or put the car into limp mode? thinking about getting myself another 1.2 16v cat from the scrappy and smashing the c**t out the inside of mine as its fucked anyway

 

[b3nje]

thats what my mate did and it worked fine and no problems whatso ever :S
