What did you have in mind? Milotec do some accessories, as do your local dealer and your local Halfords

A friend of mine said about getting my car chipped. He done it to his Ford Focus, and say`s its brilliant.

I have a few concerns about chipping my car, can you help.

1:- Does it harm the engine

2:- Is it expensive

3:- Is it easy to fit

4:- How much more power will it give me.

Well...

As has been said many times here (by vRS owners), NA cars are difficult to handle regarding mods (coz they're already so good ).

Chipping your ride won't really make a big difference. It would make a difference, but not much. I believe you could get your chip remapped, but you would get about 15bhp out of that pretty much, unlike a turbocharged ride that automatically gets something like 60bhp more. I don't know how much it costs to have a car remapped there, but here it's about GBP 300 worth.

If you get an proper free-flow exhaust system fitted plus a cold-air intake with a good airfilter, you could see about 45bhp coming your way. This is including a remap.

Price? Whole thing would cost me here about GBP 670, in England I'm assuming it'll be somewhere near the GBP1000 range.

Just been on the K&N web site, and i can`t find a filter for my Fabia. They do them for the Seat and VW, which i thought were the same cars.

I'd give JBS a ring, Sarah should be able to tell you what filter to get

Do you have JBS number, or do they have a site.

Sorry for sounding daft, but i`m new here and don`t know any dealers yet.

Hi

Yes my number is 01246 550400

I will help you the best I can

Sarah

I used to have a Green air filter (essentially same as K&N but a bit les oily) and Sarah at JBS can supply these, or try Demon Tweeks. For the 1.4-16v, you want P/N P504342. As others have said, it's not really worth chipping an N/A car as you will see about 5bhp gains for 300+ quid. There are turbo kits available, but again it's big bucks for relatively small gains. Better off putting the money aside towards your next car or a 1.8T engine conversion

Chris

Here you go man...

Filters for the 16v 1.4 and 8V 1.4...

Sorry to against start another debate, but you will not get 15 bhp from a N/A engine remap unless it's a powerful high capacity engine, maybe 7-10 at the most. With mods such as cam work, throttle bodies, decat and induction kit along with head work you would see around a 40 bhp increase but that is serious
