justinv 4 1 Cars Posted February 18, 2007 So, was thinking maybe anyone round here was thinking the same and maybe tried it out already, how far could you go in modifying the 1.6 8v engine keeping the original injection mapping system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted February 19, 2007 My 1.9 is up to 10.4:1 compression and has had the head flowed and has a non-standard cam (supposedly a fairly mild one). Goes fine but has a complete lack of power below ~1800rpm, then power arrives very suddenly. Tis "interesting" to drive in traffic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
