does anyone have any wisdom on how to increase
performance on FI 1.7 motor?
the type 4 is weak on the exhaust side, so anything that will make it flow better helps.
a set of nice headers and you already got the bursch, which is a good choice.
get rid of all the smog crap.
set the vales to 0.004 when cold.
make sure everything is in good working order, all grounds are OK, no brittle cable, FI trigger points are good etc etc etc.
make sure it can breath a lot of cool air (like, no rain tray during the summer). check timing.
the max. HP of those little suckers is @ 4800 rpm, so don't be
surprised you don't get much pull @ 2000, keep the rev's up!
loose weight (you and your car
)
i have a 1.8L with D-Jet and i tell you, they CAN be quick
