if its power from the 1.2 youre looking for specifically - take a look in the articles section - theres a HUGE thread from CP on getting more from 1.2 and 1.4 engines

It all depends on yer budget, time and know how.

It will probably be cheaper in the ong run to upgrade the engine immediately IMO, as you'll prob end up taking the engine out (or most of it) to complete the required mods.

Low budget mods uinclude K n N air filter, exhausts but in a 1.2 unless youre prepared to spend some, there isnt much to be gained (noticeable anyway). You could try lightening it (strip it out) or use a different fuel - lol there s post somewhere with someone mixing optimax and octane boost - just needs a tune up and a ron plug!

most mods that would give decent increase would require u to inform the insurance and so my affect the policy

to summarise MC's post:

SR/GTE ehxuast manifold and system
1300 SR inlet manifold and 2e3 carb
1400SR/GTE camshaft

that little lot hsould be good for 10bhp over standard giving it near SR power and should be easily obtainable from a decent scrapyard
