Ok so i have a 1.4....
please don't tell me not to bother with it, I am 17 and I mod what I have got on a student budget :smiley:
I just want to know if anyone has done it on a 1.4 and what it actually sounds like.
Thanks.

Just go for a cat back system if you want nice exhaust note :wink:
Or get a induction kit fitted bit of engine grunt/noise

a lad near me did a corsa 1.0 sounded nice but didn't move we all just laughed at him especially after the external mods we found out in the end it cost him near £4000 for all the extras was it worth it not a chance
a 1.4 should be a lot better to do but keep simple

Get a cheep back box, i removed the centre section on my 1.8n/a wasnt the best sounding, didnt sound terible, but was very raspy. on a 1.4 i would imagine it wouldnt sound too good.
cheep back boxes can be picked up for sub £100. heck there was a miltek r32 style twin back box for 1.8t's (i know you have a 1.4 but this is just an example) on ebay around 4 months ago that sold for sub100, and looked in good condition.

Induction and exhaust, not a lot else to do really.

Keep it looking nice and solid until you're old enough to do an engine swap :whistle:

Thats some nice welding going on there.
-
Yea this guy is top notch, my exhaust was done with him 6 months out of practise too so far from his best work
I particularly like his welding on the flanges on my exhaust

Hold on a minute there man!
You can't just post pics like that without some kind of explaination! :cool:
What's the AN fitting let into the exhaust at an angle?
it looks almost as if it's plumbed into the breather system? some kind of gas evacuation setup?
More info required!
-
Yes it's an exhaust evac for the Pcv system, it works fine and produces vacuum throughout most of the rev range but there is a point at the very top end of my rev when I produce quite a bit of back pressure in the exhaust making the check valve close and the dipstick pop out so I've disconnected it at the moment.

-
Ah that's a shame, I quite like the idea, but mine lives at 5-7k so it'd probably not be too suitable.
Very cool idea though, where did you find a check valve capable of withstanding those sort of temepratures?
-
Yea, I might still use it only without the check valve, I just need to stick a gauge on it and make sure it produces vacuum and never any measurable pressure. The check vale is just a high flow billet check valve from torques.
-
It's just dawned on me that it's your dyno plot I saw on b5 facebook. All makes sense now! nice result :)
-
Thanks buddy! it's so useable mapped as it is and I have to admit I am surprised the power held on so deep into the rev range. I am a difficult one to please but I am very content with the map.
