dLockers Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Nothing Easiest way for more power is to drop a 1.6 in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodav2011 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 you would be wasting your money, if you had a derv then you would get some thing out of it but you dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordieashx Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Not very much tbh, just looked at the Bluefin chips and on my mk6.5 zetec s it'd only increase by 9bhp for £250, pointless in my opinion. or you could just upgrade to a 1.4 or zetec s.... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Agreed 9bhp is over 10% gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with that, 4-2-1 branched manifold, sport cat and sporty exhaust you'll be looking at 20-25bhp increase depending on how good the manifold etc was.. So an extra possible 25% increase for only £250? Seems good 😃 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 K&N filter will probably do nothing, as much as people love to go on about these gains, they do relatively little. Yeah a complete exhaust system may see a decent boost and again a remap on top, but honestly it's all a bit pointless. The exhaust system I'd imagine would cost a grand if you could find someone to make you the manifold; unless you turbo-charge you'll get very little and have spent a lot. Let's face it by the time you've done all that, you're as powerful as a 1.25, you're noisy and you're going to have to tell Mr. Insurance that you've modified your car a good deal; may as well just buy a 1.4 or 1.6 in that case, probably lower in insurance too that way. If you have the lower power 1.25, I heard of a company that managed to put on the other 1.25 map, but then again you're still not really gaining much.

My bad, I totally forgot he had a 1.25 I was meaning those power gains for my 1.6 zetec S haha! And all those things I said are already done to my car when I bought it.. Actually ignore me I'm being totally usuless lmao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
