Tuning my skoda?

Featured Replies

how can i achieve 150 hp from my favorit without NOS ?

Is the rest of the car up to it first?

150 is doable, IMHO. Although, having said that, it may be a tad "peaky" not to mention expensive.

An old (no offence) car pushing 100bhp per litre isn't going to be massively tractable, but it can be done.

Start by sourcing a second engine (injection), and a set of large bike throttle bodies with injector bosses built in, and a Weber/Dellorto sidedraft manifold and building that up (by lightening/balancing, changing cam), also find a Felicia MPi head. It has bigger valves and flows better than a Favorit. Then wire it up to run a megasquirt ecu

Next thing you need to do is throw away anything inside the car that you don't need. rear seats, passenger seats, carpets, sound deadening, door cards, radio speakers, dashboard trim, change the glass for perspex/acrylic.

With a lightened car, and a lightened, balanced, and megasquirted Favorit on throttle bodies remapped to suit, you can be looking at 120-130BHP in a car that weighs about 1/3rd less than factory.

Sure it will be noisy, and uncomfortable inside and not carry passengers, but it will be fast.

I know a man with a ex skoda works felicia 1.3 and its running about 100-115hp

which is twice the horse power of original, it revs thru till 8000rpm and the last time it went rallying it came best is it cc class and was only 8 sec off the the fastest Group N cossie on the day.

Obviously the engine has been blue printed which means a lot of work but well

worth it in the end.

Iam sure if you search thru rally organisaions you'll find an engine builder that can make a bullet proof motor for you suitable for road use.

A name that often crops up when talking Skoda engine tuning is Mick Walker.

Couldn't tell you how to get in touch, but if it crops up anywhere, he is the guy to talk to.

how about 1.6mpi KOMPRESSOR ?? 150HP

Stage 1: Purchase a Fabia VRS from the market.

Stage 2 : Remove the Favorit badge from your car.

Stage 3 : Throw any excess material in the bin (i.e the rest of your favorit)

Stage 4 : Sellotape the Favorit badge over the Fabia badge on the back of the new car. (no-one will notice the difference)

Stage 5 : Perform Pikey mod numbers 1 to 83 on the new 'Favorit' rendering it well fast innit?

Thanks alot MeatballTurbo, Ionutz82 and yellotaxi. I'll try to do these things.

Another question, can i turbocharge the favorit engine?

Stage 1: Purchase a Fabia VRS from the market.

Of course, I meant the free market, set up in 1972 by Margaret Thatcher and Idi Amin to control the sale of unlicensed Strepsils imported from Afghanistan. they went on to also create interest rates, Supply and demand, and my personal favourite, the Oxbow Lake, used by many a Geography teacher to confuse his pupils come exam time (it's not an actual lake you see, it's an offcut of a meandering river) Howay!!!
