1.6 8v driver

[adamhinchliffe18]

hi all, picking up my driver on friday and im just wondering if anyone has any ideas for performance mods as i think its currently running 75hp or so....ideally would like to get it to 100hp....or turbo job, or perhaps an engine change if needs be

Oh boy.

See where it says 'Search' above here?

Gie it a whirl.

A weber carb and a gti camshaft would be a good start.

nice one  will do.....thanks for the welcome

get to pick up the 1.6 8v driver on friday, really well looked after, gti body kit, bbs splits, lowered 60/40...very excited but looking for performance mods, if all else fails.....bigger engine

Welcome... If it's carbed which I'm assuming it is, You'd probably be better off saving your cash a dropping a better motor in, saying that though, if it looks like a GTI but you want more performance, might be easier to just by a GTI?

yeah its got a weber twin air carb as far as im aware.....£2.5k for the A3 1.8 20v T engine dropping in nom nom

I've got a gti lump and gearbox complete for sale if ur interested also got a power flow exhaust to fit on yours which eliminates the cat if you want it depending on which route u take I presume it's a mk3 ?

[adamhinchliffe18]

its a mk2, unfortunately dont know enough about swapping engines to do anything myself haha

Not a lot you can do really, 2.0 bottom end would be a good move.
