I know im not the only one thinking this question. Professionals please give your 2 cents. Im curious how much power the 1.6 is capable of when rebuilt. Also what should we be looking at price wise for the build.

thanks

engine is capable of 500 to 600 hp if BUILT. (lots if variables though into that 'if') if you get there, be sure to throw in a aftermarket all wheel drive system.

for the normal guy, i expect you might approach close to 300 at the wheels on this car before having to 'build' it. whether or not you could put that power down and would the tranny hold out is another question. probably 250+ to the wheels is a good honest goal for this car if you want it streetable with some longevity in mind.
