is it possible to get a 1.4 16v 75bhp to 100+ bhp with swaping engine if so how can it be done.

If your talking about a mk5 then no as one is iron and one is an aluminum block - its totally different running gear.

Anything is possible, but it will cost a bomb to do!

so cams, exhaust, bmc, remap would not make a differance

The money it would cost would see little gain. If you want power out of it, switch the block. I did know someone with a 100bhp in their garage if your interested

ill ave about Â£1500 to Â£2000 to spend. is it possible to switch the engine at these prices tho.

Yes. Its almost the same loom on the 16V engines. If you can do it yourself, youll save even more.

Youll need a mk5 block to drop it in then
