Hi all,

My first post here, so apologies for any daft questions.

I have a facelift mk 2 Twingo RS133 which I and the whole family love (ok, less-so the wife, but the kids love him as I do). I daily drive him at present, but would like to start the process of turning him into something better for track use and maybe some sprinting/(very) amateur tarmac rallying. I’ve been chatting to K Tec and am about to pull the trigger on some obvious performance stuff, including a full decat system, their high flow filter for the box (better than an induction kit I understand?), and some cat cams which K Tec will be asked to fit and remap for in due course. Obviously suspension and braking will be getting significant attention too, but I have a question about the camshaft if anyone is able to help.

How road-driveable/smooth running will the Twingo be with these new cams? Also, they do a 01 version, and a 02 version with more lift and duration. Does anyone have experience of how ‘liveable’ on the road each of these options is?

Thanks in advance,

jm

Gains tuning that little 1.6 will be quite limited, would you consider an engine swap or turbo conversion?

Had a convo today with someone who was planning on going cams for the 1.6. The cam package from ktec and a new clutch (which he needed) was very similar in price to a full 2.0ltr swap, so he went with that as straight off the bat it had more hp and torque
