although im no mechanic by a long shot, and all this work was done by certfied garages/mechanics/specialists. cam would slightly increase the power band where it used to stop pulling at bout 6500rpm it then went to 7500rpm which does help on the 1/4, that little extra go, with an increase in hp ranging around 10-22bhp(depending on if the fuel air mixture.
why would i want hot air going into my car? with cold air going into the engine the compression rate with in the engine increases, hence more hp? yes i accept the difference is not to noticeable, but its there and all adds up. the air intake on a 106 xsi 1.4i is at the top of the engine near where the bulk head is and sits snuggly to the right of the engine so any warm air is going that way anyway but like i said, dont like warm air.
yes magnex and mongoose are very good exhaust systems, i have and will recommend janspeed to smaller engine cars. my bro had a mk1 escort rs turbo with full mongoose exhaust system. suited and you gain more for that type of power output. i personnelly am in love with omp exhausts. had a group n rally exhaust system on my old 306 xsi. lovely sound with huge amounts of torque and power delievered from it.
the whole idea of tunin these small cars is simple if u stick to this, u want as much cold compressed dense air going into the engine as possible and u want as rid of the spent gasses as quickly as possible
racing manifold-as in statement above cold compressed dense air in as quick as possible and spent gasses gone asquick as possible. think like this, you have 4 ports where you can blow said spent gasses through but with in 1 inch they all join so limits what can go in them small pipes. you have 4 longer pipes then going into 2 pipes then into one no only have you increased the air flow you also decrease the time to get the exhaust system where that can do its job. no need for the block to be touched
super chip-ok this was a bit much at the time, but did increase the output by 10-14hp give or take, not going to increase as much as say a 306 gti-6 or something with much bigger engine. it does slightly increase the effieicny of the engine with an increase in performance, so win win really.
driveshaft-again interesting comment but really i was 17/18 did i give a rat's ass?
from a 100bhp stock 106 xsi to a 130+bhp car which almost the same bhp of my old 306 xsi which was 137 as standard, in a car that weighs about as much as one of my turds, not really many issues. beat most cars off the line and to the end aswell, do really miss that car!!!
