Go through Fusion Motorsport/Ed superb!
You will need to have shims measured and machined also

You could always put 1.3 cams in the 1litre, the cheaper easier all round option
1.3 cams are a good upgrade for the 1.0's. Easy to fit and give a good gain in top end performance. Craig had some dyno print outs a long time ago and they showed very good torque gains. Standard 1.0's drop like a stone past 4000rpm, with the addition of 1.3 cams, it kept the torque up well into the 5000 range, which yeilded quite a bit of horsepower.

Piper do both fast road and ultimate road cams. As said they need shims machined. If you are interested in these then let me know.
Well, 254deg cams reportedly don't work very well in the 1.0's. 1.3's are cheap and proven. You'd be fine on standard injectors also. Flat out you can only reach 49% duration on a standard engine hehehe!
I may even have a set of cams spare.........will check next time I'm back home

im looking for the best option...would my cams have to be sent away if bought from piper??
if u do have a set i may buy them once i scrape up the money :blush:
also what else can i do to a 1.0L to make it quicker, i have a induction kit, power boost valve with a manifold and de-cat on the way :slm:

induction kit will reduce your power and the PBV won't really make a difference.
How?
but it's possible to fit it on the tb and get a good cold air feed to it, maybe even a heat shield aswell.

but you don't maintain the 130% of engine volume in filtered air for optimum thorttle response

how much would the ga16 tb, ga16 injectors and apexi s-afc cost about and how will it affect the performance of the car??
cheers :wasntme:
Saying that i have a set up on the way that'll tick all the the boxes! Pics soon.
People all tell a different story with regards to filter.. some say standard box with a panel filter,
Ive been told reliably that a filter on the TB is best for such a small engine in NA form..
i.e Non-Turbo..
A cold feed will help a smidgen but not much..
Its more noise than anything else..
The best unpgrade you can do is fit a 1.3 engine and 1.6ECU and a Janspeed 4,2,1 Manifold, in addition to a 1.6TB and FSE you will be looking at almost double your engine power from your 1.0 ( 55bhp ish to 100bhp ish )
Ive ran this set-up before.. Ive even done this conversion to a 1.0 before....
... and its by FAR the cheapest and most reliable change you can make for power..
You would do the lot for 350 in verygood/brand new parts
or 250 on a budget..
You will notice the difference instantly and it will be reliable, economical and sound.
