Hi,

 

I have a very reliable 1,6 MPI BGU motor in my beloved Octavia MK2 pre-facelift.

 

I do really love it, but I start thinking on some optimisation. I know it is not the best base for "tuning" (definitely not a 1.8T) but I started to think of the flows optimisation to gain a little extra power and dynamic (better intake, better spark plugs). I it possible, is it worth?

 

Can you redirect me to the related topics or suggest some reading to where to start or why is it impossible.

 

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards

Looks like there are some remaps but they don't give much: https://www.quantumchiptuning.com/ecu-remap/skoda-octavia-1-6-mpi-75kw-102hp

 

You might need to look at more traditional methods such as changing the cams and having the head properly ported/flowed etc. I think you'd be best saving your money for a faster car 😕

Thanks for the information langers2k,

 

I am also thinking to change the 8 valves to 16v. I am not sure it is possible to change the cylinder head and camshafts and it is necessary to update not just the hardware parts but some software also (ECU or something).

 

 

I have no idea how feasible changing from a 8v to 16v head is, but if the power figures on wikipedia are correct, you're still only looking at a few HP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0koda_Octavia#Engines_2

I have thought it results more, thanks again langers2k

 

I guess changing the fuel injection also not to effective. at least I will buy bigger rims and a bit lowering. 

 

It is a reliable engine, but not very dynamic.
