My mate had a 1.2 and he fitted a PiperX filter, SR carb, inlet and exhaust manifold and a Magnex system and it did help a little. It didn't make it a cossie killer but it was definately better to drive!

Well ur gonna be lookin at ?500 for a few bhp. It's not really worth it. Ur best spendin ur cash on ICE. That way u can move it to a new car when u can afford it.

i got a 1.2, bolt on piperx air filter and peco bb2, i know people say the you dont get any power gains from the bb2 but mine is a fucking rocket and pisses on 1.3 sr's

GET A GRIP.
a 1.2 does not and will not piss on an sr, and peco are shite and do not give power gains especially off just a back box.
chris the cheapest way to more power is to put a bigger engine in, it'll cost more for cams airfilters etc.

get a weber 32/34 carb (about 100quid second hand)and get it set up on a rolling road (about 50 squids) might then keep up with an sr. if you want a faster car, its better to sell it and get one with a bigger engine.

I have a weber filter and a BB2 and i can pisson 1.3sr's with my 1.2 so eat the ian ;-p, i know the score chris, its funny seeing the look on there faces!! then they ask what i have done 2 it!!!!

[Anonymous]

oh i and i have done a 1.4sr up to about 103 then he pulled ahead but only about 20 metres over about 3 miles

Trust me,

I am old. I have had my SR a while, I have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when I've driven, a 1.3SR with gentle modification (full magnex exhaust/filter) will NEVER be run into the ground by ANY 1.2.

If it is, then there is something wrong with the driver. (8v's are about torque, not really about RPM)

lol ha ha wait till you come playing with my 1.2i after christmas 190bhp will see off most 1.3sr

190BHP? Thats 158bhp per litre, Top touring cars knock out about 300ish from a 2 litre which is 150bhp per litre and thats with some very very serious mods. You will be doing well if you break the 100bhp per litre mark (120bhp)sorry but it can't be possible. Unless youv'e got a 1.6 bottom end?
