Getting more power from my 1.0 micra

[Lockeboy]

Looking for guidance/information. Turbocharging and general modifications. Cheap solutions preferably.

There is no cheap solution to turboing. You need deep pockets.
Also just search a little these questions are asked virtually every day.

The cheapest and quickest way to add instant BHP is with stickers...a mysterious, ancient blend of herbs and spices....

Well there goes our secret. Good going!

Don't worry...fixed it... no-one will ever know...

Red calipers and some multifit wheels from Halfords usually does the trick for the Saxo crowd.

These are also proven to give the illusion of extra power: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_176367_langId_-1_categoryId_165701

Oh my god look at the reviews. I'm actually crying here.

I personally believe that yellow brake calipers are better, red ones are to mainstream. And ive had stickers on my car...the power was not noticeable. All laughs aside, im planning to buy a garret turbo, any suggestion on models. long term plan is to install sr20neo, which is sitting in the corner of my garage. By cheap i meant normal budget not, but all my money into my k11. Btw why the f would i buy a Turbo badge if i could paint it on my car...

If you paint it on, just make sure it doesn't look like 'Timbo'.

 

[Lockeboy]

That's diy decat but is a good cheap idea but also so illegal

Not illegal to decat, but you will fail your MOT

It IS illegal for any road vehicle to be driven without at least one catalytic converter.

Ohh... My bad

 

[l_jonez]

It IS illegal for any road vehicle to be driven without at least one catalytic converter.

Only if fitted by the factory. Most pre 92 cars won't have one

If you can pass the emissions test without one ( nearly impossible) on a road side test they won't be interested why its not there

 

[Enuo]

If your car, at ANY time on the road, is incapable of passing the emmisions tests standards found on an MOT, you are in breach of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. Also, Regulation 61, section 1:

"Every vehicle shall be constructed so as not to emit ANY avoidable smoke or ANY avoidable visible vapour."

Technically, if a performance cat performance less effectively than the stock cat at reducing emissions, you are breaking the law by fitting it. ANY modification that makes your car less environmentally friebdly is illegal.

What you get away with is a different story.

 

[Low Rider]

Excellent news, as my performance cat's do a much better job with respect to emissions than the oem unit
