Yeah mine had `82`bhp. Did seem like a bit too much ..not sure of ATW but the guy on the rollers said it worked out at just over 82 ATF. Had a PBV (which made a big difference), HUGE pipercross filter (they pissed me about for ages trying to get one so I complained and they got one from stock that you would expect to see on a big power cossie!) and a powerflow backbox. It was defo quicker than a friends 1.3 SR certainly up to 80mph althouh he had a passenger and I was on my own. I think the fact that it got ragged from day one helped it run well and it never missed a beat for the 2 years or so that I had it..

what about converting it to a 16v using parts from a 1.2 16v, then your starting with arround 75bhp and some have had arround 90+BHP from them
TBH i had a chance to test my car against a 1.2 16v and there was basically nothing in it at all - cars were side by side all the way to 60mph (only tested it to 60bhp) and theres no way on earth my car got an extra 15bhp from a replacement filter and cold air feed pipe. Only way I can think is my car being possibly lighter :/ Anyway with my 1.2 8v DIET engine my target is to get upto around 100bhp

I did have 89bhp yes but ive been putting a lot of the beast back to standard now as im selling her. As someone said I started with the SPI 1.2 8v and it was the 1171cc 65bhp model not the 1149 60bhp model. I expect it is running around 70 - 72bhp now! I still will have a race with mitch down the strip if I still have my car!

sorry just noticed were talking MK1's here i thought we were talking about a MK2 Ph1.
best way to get a small engined car fast is better brakes and suspension and strip it so it weighs as little as possible then the usual induction kit, decat and exhaust

What engine work did you do to your car to get it at that level??
I aint listing mine until its done lol
Maxx said:Well basically err.. everything lol. I will keep everyone informed when its done in the media section
lol...thats what I said at first!
When it was running 89 I had prob spent over 1.5k and to me didnt seem worth the money! I had uprated brakes, suspension, clutch, full system exhaust and decat, induction kit, gas flowed, uprated cam, ecotech valve, stripped out!, prob some other things to but at mo its off my head!
You can fit most of the parts off a 1.4 but not everything, chips are the same so I found out!

Liking the sound of a power boost valve!
Only got a cat-back zaust on my Mk 2 Phase 1 1.2 8v, Would the panel filter im planning (K+N) and the power boost valve make that much difference for the £150 for the two products. Bear in mind there is no 172/182 coming for me in the near future unfortunately

Damn, theres a thread on this just below. Need to get my readers on
Why not :[mitchzxr said:

1.4 16v's are generally heavier cars, with the engine conversions I have thought about this but extra insurance, tax and fuel costs kind of put me off. With just tuning my car at least I can do it over time, be a little bit different, not after too much power and havent really got the money to go out and get a newer car. Also nothing wrong with the car I have that makes me want to get rid of it.
I had a 1.4 chip on there. But in the future i would put a dastek piggyback unit in. Much better and only 100quid more.
You will only be able to have a power boost valve if you have MPI (throtle body out the side of the inlet manifold not ontop)
Like mitch said if you want 100bhp+ dont mod this just get an rsi. Though if you do really want to be different then, when I got my uprated cam in there was a 1.1 106 hitting 116bhp F**k knows how???
jonaldinho - if your getting a 172etc soon then yes that would be fine for now you may feel a difference in throtle response.

Nah, I saw it! Showed me power graphs and everything, was really impressive, thats kinda why I started mine!
But ive moved on now and want something more powerful, my car is up for sale now
Go for it mate, Yours should be the MPI model so like I said earlier you could get power boost valve, forced air induction kit etc which I couldnt

100bhp per litre from an 8v engine is just about possible but its going to require PROPER tuning methodologies
Stick on tat isnt going to get you there.
Multithrottles/twin carbs, mappable fuel/ignition management, 290-300deg camshaft, proper 4-1 extractor manifold and gas flowed cylinder head perhaps with larger valves and you may well see 100bhp from your 1200, you wont get anywhere near that otherwise.
its simply not worth tuning it when u can simply fit a larger engine.
