another "how much bhp after mods" thread
yep, 1.4 westcoast currently at 79.8bhp rolling roaded with a magnex system WITH cat and a k&n open filter.
Whats your estimates after:
4,2,1 raceland manifold
magnex de-cat pipe
enclosed raceland induction green filter

With the breathing mods you will maybe gain an extra 5-6bhp
Not sure about the cam though...

kamracing do cams for 14's

I would say with those mods you would be within the region of 90 BHP. for the cam, your best bet is Catcams or Kamracing

Too high! No chance! After the cams maybe 95-98(ish), with a remap that is...

cheers lads, i was told by a mate 100bhp i thought that was a bit too far, i was thinking 90ish MAX
What can i do to get this engine to around 110bhp or as close as i can to it, without spending a fortune?
EDIT: jus read coonpers post OOOF! no chance of getting this engine near the 100mark then lmao!

100 bhp is definitely possible, but 20bhp is a big gain to have when you've only got 80bhp to start with. Thats a 25% increase!!
You would need a lairy cam and some mild head work to get that sort of power i would have thought. Not really my area mate, but thats my opinion.

dont really want to spend a fortune on it as im doing a 16v conversion in a year or two, so just doing failry cheap mods to the 1.4 till then, nothing over £200 on a single mod, and would expectan increase in power. obv a re-map too though.

save your money, you're pissing in the wind tuning a 1.4. save for a vts engine or a faster car.

true, but i cant resist doing bits n bobs to this, only reason getting a 4,2,1 is couse my downnpipe has broke so thought may aswell get a the whole lot 
everything else i can jus use with the vts engine, such as body parts, strut braces etc. and de-cat pipes etc.
