1.4 8v tuning..

[novadose2009]

i have read the 1.4 8v tuning guide in the articles section ect and my 1.4 engine has twin 40s and exhaust system on it.

should i change the head and what cam should i go for?

i have seen so good cams from shriek but i dont understand the lift and duration ect any ideas what would be good to further tune this engine?

thankyou

The 1400 head can be sorted to flow quite well, not as well as the 1300, i would reccomend a kent ast2 cam with uprated valve springs and a vernier pulley :)

[novadose2009]

is that part of the kent cam kit you can buy on internet?

also if i fitted 1300 head would i need a different inlet manifold for the 40's?

want to no best tuning set ups to use and what oil, plugs ect to use also.

NOTE that it is only a road going car but still wanna achieve as much power as possible.

Aren't 1200 and 1300 basically the same head?

try a 1200 head gas flowed ported ect. with a 1600 8v cam in it, it works the same as a 1400 high lift cam accept cheaper ;) also get both manifolds mated to the head will give you an over all better flow through?

cheers del.

1200 head or 1300?

best cam to use ect prices?

[novadose2009]

any more information available?

if i fitted a 1200 or 1300 head would i need a different inlet manifold as i have a 1400 one

a got told that your ment to use a standard 1600 cam and i would think the manifold would be the same not to sure?, am going to the scrappies on sat to pick up a 1200 head and 1600 cam up for ma old mans 1400 corsa rally car because we are going to do the same thing to it so i will keep you updated mate
