I want power! There’s plenty of thing to do to boost power in the 306. the first step in all models is to open up the breathing
with an induction kit and exhaust. This should give a couple of brake extra,
but it’s the pick up that you will notice the most. If your
lucky enough to own a Gti-6, then a four into two exhaust manifold will give
you close to 20bhp. Not bad for £300 notes. Xsi and
Gti-6 owners will benefit from head and cam work which should add about
30bhp, but don’t expect the same results on an S16. they’re
already set-up for maximum anyway, so you’ll only be throwing your money
away. If you’ve got the money, then you can start thinking about swapping the
injection for some Throttle Bodies to boost power further. You’re looking at
least £2000, but you’ll also be looking at figures of about 210bhp, while if
your feelings bold, you can sacrifice drivability and go for some rally cams
and race prep which should be pushing 300bhp. There
are some turbo and supercharger kits available, but they are over £4000. It
would be far cheaper and make more sense to opt for 50bhp Nitrous jets. The
only other viable engine swap is the 406 turbo lump. They start with 150bhp
and can easily be pushed upto 220bhp no problem. Engine
