Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Every one is talking about swaping engines and such.....

I was wondering if any one has tried to give the 1.3L some more curry with any sucess (or not)
different Cam shafts, extactors, weber carby... that sort of thing?

the simple stuff before going straight to the engine swap method!!

i am looking for a bit more go from the engine on the hi-way and was wondering if i need to go all the way and swap engines.

thanks

(i am in Qld and it would be less hasle if i did not change the engine)

yeah i think you can hop it up some with bits from the 1.3 GTI engine

i have recently put on extractors an 2in exhaust
it helped a fair bit

can pull most hills in 5th gear(stock gearing)
with 31 in tyres

Exhaust cam makes a remarkable difference.

i might be different and try that instead of an engine swap
thanks

any one tried the cam shaft suzisport is selling or one they could reccomened?

Camo I had my cam re-ground and I have been pretty happy with the results. It only cost about $70 or $80 .. so even if you are not happy it's not a real big cash outlay.

As for extractors .. If you do get me make sure that you get a flex joint installed at the end of the extractors or you will have issues with the exhust leaking at gaskets or my crack the exhast itself.
