Hi everyone,

I have a 1.4 Ibiza. I have fitted a cold air intake which has increased acceleration a bit but I'd like to get a bit more out of it. Any ideas on how to improve the acceleration?

Thanks!

If you are talking about the 1.4 16V 86PS engine, then you are not going to get much more out of it unless you make some mechanical changes, like camshaft profile etc - but I'd doubt if you would be able to find anyone supplying any "upgrade power" parts. Remember, this is a very old engine and would not be getting used as a basis of someone producing high output engines for other uses.

Leave it as it is and save your money for your next car, what you have there should be reliable, which counts for quite a bit I'd reckon.

Hint:- remapping of modern engines relies mainly on the ability to be able to get more air into the engine, then change the fuelling to suit that, that is only easily done on a turbo charged or super charged engine, your engine is a naturally aspirated engine.

I'm sure the acceleration you notice is in your mind. Like others have said, just save up for a quicker, newer car.
