Anyway to make a 1.1i saxo x quicker?
 
induction kit air filter yes and drop in engine and that crap i no but does the air filter and induction kit even do anything worthwhile to the car?

Realistically... why bother.

JC-Furio 5th November 2008 17:01

To get any noticeable gains from a 1.1 engine, you have to put in a lot of £££.

liamk15 5th November 2008 17:01

sell it buy something bigger,its the only realistic way.

Mcwaffle 5th November 2008 17:01

Not really just gives it a bit more sound, but would as cal said, no point bothering with a 1.1 unless you are gunna whack a turbo on it as a couple of people on the forum have.

Mcwaffle 5th November 2008 17:02

induction kit and air filter useless then?

Lmao if you have the cash get a VTR or VTS, realistically a 1.1 wasn't designed to be fast.

Gordzilla 5th November 2008 17:03

I wouldn't bother. Unless you ain't planning on moving up at all.

Save the cash for a quicker car. Spend the money making the 1.1 toaster better looking.

If you've got the cash opt for a higher spec model / different car. Unless you're going to turbo it, the gains aren't going to be worth it. This is going to turn to another "Drop a vts lump in it" thread btw.

Also less text speak. ;)

They're not useless, but will not do anything to BHP really, will just give you slightly better engine response.

Mcwaffle 5th November 2008 17:03

turbo cost alot?

VTEC-Saxo 5th November 2008 17:03

if you have the money drop in a vts will be cheaper in the long run ...

Pretty much, a BMC might add 2-5BHP on a VTR or VTS not sure on a 1.1 but they cost around £180-200

not really, it'll help the engine breath better, but it wont be pulling your foreskin off.

Lol as alex said, if you was to turbo the a 1.1, you would end up with probably the same results as you would if just dropped in a VTS lump for a lot cheaper.

craig180 5th November 2008 17:41

There is a section for engine and performance. MAybe this should have been posted there? :err:

But, in answer to your question, strip it out, better brakes and suspension

dobbo_1 5th November 2008 17:44

blow it up?
1.1s are never going to be quick

stevo67 5th November 2008 17:47

Save up for the real thing a vts.


Steve.

AlexB 5th November 2008 17:49

ah this old noodle
my 1.1 was pretty quick (for a 1.1) but tbh it was so heavly stripped (and thats abut all you cn do to em tbh) it was just horrid for every day use (allthough i loved it)

had an open filter and a straight through supersprint centre and a piper backbox so was like 5hp above standard if it wasnt fucked (and it was tbh was basically destroying itself from the inside out)

but imo its only worth modding a 1.1 for looks
then you can put the bits off that onto a vtr/s if you get one later on
