i want to make my 1.1 quickish without changin the engine where can i find parts and what parts shall i get? can some1 tell me please?

How quick is "quickish" and how much money do you have to spare.

Is it an SPI or MPI engine?

An SPI engine will take a Solex twin carb from the AX GT/205 1.4 xsi (with some work), a rejetted carb can give some impressive power gains.

An MPI can be turbocharged, Sophia_Bush on here has done one and also sells basic kits

Other than that theres not alot worth doing on a 1.1, apart from exhaust system and induction kit

kev999_VTR · 17th July 2008, 18:50

But on a serious note, search on here and on ebay. Imo, not worth doing an awful lot to 1.1. Just the small mods like induction kit and exhaust for noise.

don55 · 17th July 2008, 18:55

turbo it, pm sophia about it.

landanimal · 18th July 2008, 11:20

Just looked at your progress thread mate, yours is a single point injection (SPI). I know the MPI engine can be turbo'd but im not too sure about the SPI.

Search on ebay, them electric supercharger kits....pause...NOTTT
As said above tbh! But if you don't want to be spendin that amount of money could just save for a car with a bigger engine?

landanimal · 18th July 2008, 11:47

yea im into stickin the peugeot 106 gti engin in my pug 205

Evolution4589 · 18th July 2008, 11:50

If you want genuine performance then you've got a long way to go...

Currently I'm in the process of upgrading everything that will actually make a difference, the cam on the 1.1 has a lot to give!

Also consider updating the inlet manifold & throttle body as they're quite restrictive on the 1.1.

RedB · 18th July 2008, 13:30

Never going to be a quick car really but completely strip it and sort breathing mods like above then maybe turbo and go a bit mental

landanimal · 18th July 2008, 13:33

yea i was thinkin maybe a vtr throttle body and strip it of back seats and stuff where can i find new uprated cams tht will make a difference and how much will they cost?

Evolution4589 · 18th July 2008, 16:10

Don't bother with just the throttle body- go the whole hog and get the inlet manifold too.

Back seats won't weigh that much... in my car (206) they were around 20kg-ish.

I'm actually having bespoke cams made for me, but if they work out well then there will be plenty available for the TU1 1.1 PSA engine (which is what you have). The cam basically helps out with top-end and mid-range power, which is crucial to the 8v TU engine as it runs out of puff quite easily.

Will keep you posted, just need a basic 1.1 cam to send away to the tuning company and I will get the reprofiled one in around a week or so.

Sophia_Bush · 18th July 2008, 22:15

unless you got 1.5k spare and can do most of the work yourself don't turbo even a basic setup all done will cost that much and again thats if you do the work yourself.

Basic mods since yours is a spi manifold exhaust and diy induction nothing else. MPi are defo more responsive going by what my new one is like

snottybadger · 19th July 2008, 10:57

I really can't see the point in throwing money at a 1.1 Saxo engine.

Surely a "tuned" and turbo'd 1.1 Saxo will cost more to insure than a VTS?

Sophia_Bush · 19th July 2008, 11:20

in my case no lol all mods declared like for like replacement £350 f/c get in for that lol

landanimal · 20th July 2008, 12:55

cheers every1 im not into putting tht much money into it right now but i want to keep it for a while so eventually maybe, and evolution can you give a price on what it costs ya to get a new cam? and im well up for doin all the work myself lol cheers every1.

Will let you know as soon as all the work is done to my car... getting the engine this week and ripping it apart this week too, then we'll go from there!

landanimal · 25th July 2008, 13:51

kl cheers

Evolution4589 · 25th July 2008, 16:28

Engine was delivered today... cam's being reprofiled this week. Don't know how much they'd be retail as my car is the development car for all head and cam work, but it wouldn't be thousands...

Also, consider an induction kit from this company that I'm getting my work done by... 7bhp increase as proven on a rolling road.
