Title: Mk3 1.8cl performance....
Post by: takethefifth on 10 January 2006, 18:49

Hi, i've popped over from the mk2 bit to see if anyone can help with a question from a friend of mine.. 

Now after selling his dirty cavalier he saw the Mk3 at a good price so got it. We were just wondering if anyone knew if there where any easy ways to unlock a bit more power from it. Obviously exhaust, air filter but I know on the Mk2 you can put Gti camshafts in 1.6 drivers and the like.

Could you, on a mk3 for example, put a gti exhaust on the 1.8cl? or camshaft? or anything like that?

Nice one thanks all  :smiley:

exshaust should be a good fit, well i know the back box is, don't know about the cam side of things, butI'd just do the easy things first.
Is it injection? if so get a proformance chip. :rolleyes:

it'll be the same engine as in mine. The 2.0 8v gti cam fits, but don't know if it's any different. The main restriction on this lump is the throttle body. If I could work out how to remove it I'd have it enlarged!
