Been reading how its not worth tuning small engines but what is small? Got an almera 1.5 16v that i want to put an exhaust and intake kit on. Should i just save my money or take up golf?
The gains are not usually huge with any naturally aspirated car and what you do get will be at the top end of the rev range anyway. You'll also incur a disproportionate amount of noise unfortunately.
Interesting, thought i was seeing a lot more hot diesels these days. Ha, the problem with the heater is it only kicks out hot air, want it fixed for summer!
Diesel's changed hugely since about 1999/2000. 200bhp+ in standard tune is quite commonplace now even for two litre four cylinder units. Plus the stupendous midrange torque you get a very very rapid drive indeed. It would be my route of choice for performance.
