*INFO* 1.2 8v Tuning Guide

[just vaux trev]

right think i'll join in with this now as i have just aquired a 1.2 5 door and a 1.2 2 door hatch atm the 5 door has a 4 branch 1 box system,and has 36k on the clock (gen) so ripe for some new toy abuse, i have a webber 32/34 carb of a 1.3 sr (need find manifold) or i have a 1.4 sri mpi inlet and ecu (no loom)
not sure which to go for or which cam to go with it again this will be just for experiment on a budget any ideas which would benifit most,
i even have a set of 1100 bike carbs. which leads me to another question 1200 bike carb 1200 car engine would this work

hi everyone, just thought id add my 2 pence! i have a 1.2 thats properly tuned up and on the rolling road i got 91.2bhp out of it, its amazing what a decent cam twin 40's and a couple of other bits can do! this was all on an untouched bottom end too so if i got in to doing that i could expect over 100bhp the rolling road guy said. 1.2's are great fun but must say that it is best to start with an ealry 1.2 as the heads are better and its just got the better bits on it to start moding it. i say pants to everyone that says dont bother with a 1.2 because i have done the brakes, suspension and engine on mine too and i can keep up with me mums clio 182 on the roads round me and i aint joking shes won night rally championships and scatter championships before so she does'nt hang around too much!!
just goes to show that a free 1.2 and a few quid spent on ebay goes along way!
