If I had the shop space, the time, equipment and a couple donor vehicles, I would be all in on doing this. Just for right now, it's not feasible. Maybe in a couple years.
Junkyard Engine?

Speaking of rebuilding engines.... has anyone heard word of performance cams, crankshafts and whatnot for our little engine that tried? I've got a fried 1.4 laying around I bought for like 100$ (guy thought driving around with a busted head gasket was a good idea amd hydrolocked the poor bastard) and I'd I'm gonna build this bitch I wanna build it good. The trans is probably getting sent to RPM Transmission to get cryo-ed and shot peened so it'll hold up but I'm not moving untill I figure out if such parts at available for my motor lol

1.4
Thats the problem with the 1.4 no development ! Sure you can do pistons but it does not get you power, valve springs-yes more rpm. But if the airflow is the same not much to be gained. Without Cam , Cylinder head work, Intake manifold there is not much there past where we are. And or Big turbo which opens other problem areas.
I have a GTX turbo sonic manual with all the bolt ons--I AM NOT IMPRESSED.
People keep talking about 250 HP GTX cars but -no one has one. Just my opinion. g

Thank you
parts
There is nothing out there--no buyers. Turbo Tec talked about developing an intake manifold but we could not get 10 serious buyers. And now these cars are ending there life cycle if its not out there by now its not coming we cannt even buy good struts ! I have too much in my car to give it away i would like a VW GTI or Ford ST and make some real power.
Any body want a fully done Sonic RS with 16,000 miles ? g
