Kriss 0 Posted February 21, 2007 As the title suggests, got a 205 1.4i for £220, goes well, but a bit lacking in the power department. I was just wondering what stuff is out there to give it a bit more go. It's getting a 1.1 straight through pipe, stainless back box and green filters replacement element air filter. Just wonderinbg what else could be done. My mate has suggested carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted February 21, 2007 if its a single point injection model then junk that and go for a multi point set up, its cheap and easy to fit and an instant gain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enfield 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Is it a 1.4 GT with single point bosch injection yeah? The best mod I did for that car was fit a universal cone air filter to it upside in the original filter housing. The difference was very noticeable, not to mention the noise...

Kriss 0 Posted February 25, 2007 well, i work in a parts shop, that would be a cheap option for me. Yes it's single point bosch injection. Got a new problem now however, it decided to jump out of 3rd and 4th gear last night. Only happened on rough roads, think it might have something to do with the fact the clutch pedal seems really stick. Could anyone clarify this for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted February 26, 2007 the 1.4i with single point injection was rated at 75bhp but with multi point injection (as used in AX GTI's) it was 100bhp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
