worth putting a performance cam in my 1.4?

[Ieuan-J]

Gotta question that you 2.0l owners may find stupid/funny... but do you think its worth putting a performance cam in my 1.4? if its even possible that is?? i just want a bit more poke... And being only 18 i cant afford to insure a gti...

 

[DPJ]

How much do you think your insurance would increase by if you fitted a performance cam?

 

[M1KEH]

I doubt anyone produces a cam for the 1.4 8v. It's not really the engine to be manufacturing performance parts for.

 

[Big-Pete]

cheaper to do an abf conversion

Probably can't afford insurance for a modded car either then...

wait a year, I had mine when I was 19... insurance wasn't too bad

Im sure I have saw a 1.4 8v cam listed somewhere while browsing/looking in magazines. Im sure that it was Cat Cams that made it.

Oh I have seen a 1.4 8v cam Is a good market for people thinking they would be better off putting a race cam in, instead of buying a better car

not really worth it. when i had the 1.4 i had loads of plans but never did them as it seemed pointless. even thought about swapping engine for 1.6 AFT engine (100hp) but decided to just wait till a GTI was affordable. so much more power than the 1.4
