performance

[DrewskiGSY]

Hey all,

Iv got a 2003 1.4 16v with a k-tec 182 style exhaust and pipercross viper induction kit but i wanted to know if any of you could give me some ideas for performance improvements

i cant afford anything like turbos and atm i dont even have enough for a remap but some ideas would be very much appreciated.

cheers

strip the inside out ( seats minus drivers obv )

instant gain of weight loss so will make it that bit quicker

1.4s are hard to get power out of. I had a custom exhaust, induction and it made 113 bhp on the rollers (Chip, f**k off you c**t).

I found that taking the spare wheel out, removing the back seats and having bucket seats made a vaast improvement. Wasn't more powerful but was quicker due to being lighter.

Have a read through my project thread for idea's: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?610604-James-K4j-house-fly

So far she has, K&N gen2 induction kit, superchips remap, jap can universal box for noise, center silencer removed, stripped out the rears seats & plastics.
Toyo T1R's.

These cars are made to corner, not eat turbo diesel's on motorways or break the sound barrier.

Does 0-60mph in 8.1secs

cheers for that, and i have tried lookin for bucket seats but like i said overall i dont have much money which makes it difficult to find any decent seats... id rather have reclineable if any of you know of any good places to buy from....
also have any of you heard of these sprint boosters i saw one for around £110 and not really sure if there worth the money it also said i need to have fly-by wire technology can any of you explain what it is and how i can find out if i have it.

basicly its a load of crap mate, things like that only bump up the fuel pressure and well.... fuk allot up. remap is a safer option than tunning boxes ( unless diesel) and so called sprint boosters.

cheap no cost mod, take all the back seats out, boot carpet, rear door cards ( 3 door equivelent ) spare wheel and tool kit.

less weight to lugg around, their for better proformance without engine mods. simple

sound cheers mate

1.6 does feel alot faster than a standard 1.4 .

 

[DrewskiGSY]

yeah but i can already beat a 1.6 so the wouldnt be much point in that :/

Get a 1*2 and be done with it weight saving is definitely your best option. I did the same with my Saxo furio when I started to drive.
