No need for an intercooler chap, these engines like it hot. Just ram 30 psi boost down the little 1.6's throat and you'll be at 400 whp for no time. No time at all! I mean IN no time. Yes that's what I mean.

the 1.6 can do this because it's so much lighter and higher revving. it's essentially a superbike engine that has been de-tuned to keep the car street legal, unlike the low revving lumps that came in the later years.
so basically remove the rev limiter, add an fmu to keep the fuel in check, and just crank it up. I would keep it at 450hp though for reliability

Thanks for the tips.
ive had a good read and I feel I'm right.
the car is for my wife, I'm not a mx fan mainly because I've got a proper car to use most of the time so they are ideal for the little lady indoors just every time I drive it its just so underpowered.
are you saying that I will need to forge the bottom end to see the figures I want?
