I want power! As it�s essentially the same engine as the 205 here we go. �1.6�s,
1.9, 16v�s, carbs� what more could you want? Well, with the 1.6Gti, you can
start with the usual induction kit, exhaust system, chip, gas flowed head and
uprated cam for a 20-25bhp increase on top of the
original 105/115bhp. The whole lot will cost over �1200. If this doesn�t
suit, use the �1200 and transplant a 1.9 instead, which
gives 130bhp from the start and is more tuneable. If
you start with a 1.9, then the same mods apply. This should give 160bhp. The
most popular option though, is the legendary Mi16 conversion. Pay anything
upto �3000 and have 155bhp standard with anything upto 200bhp available with
conventional tuning� polished/ported head, cams, twin Weber 45�s, custom
exhaust manifold. If you get bored with that, a set of Throttle Bodies will
take you to around 210bhp but with a price tag of �2500, there a bit
expensive. After
that, if you still crave more power, it�s turbo or
supercharger time. You�ll be looking at �4000-6000 pounds but you�ll be
looking at 240bhp+ with a turboed Gti-6 engine
(�10,000 though!). As a last resort, you can always transplant the Cosworth engine in and get 500bhp�niceeeeeeeee!
But will cost about �20000. Oh well, who need a house anyway? Engine
