Hi and welcome .....

Tuning .... a 110 .... to get 190+bhp.... think you'd be one of the first to get that to be honest.

Mate ... buy a V6 180.

some one correctme but the 110 is a 1.4/1.6? you wont get that above 140/150bhp even with a hell of a lot of mods. When i was converting my metro to 1.8vvc lotus engine i took me alot of internal mods and alot of money to get it to 198bhp that was new piston's bigger and ground out new valves bigger as well new cams new lightened flywheel, inline induction huge janspeed manifod and stright through exhaust! That was a 1.8vvc maxed out! so A 110 if its a 1.4 youl get 130bhp and 1.6 150bhp at the most!

yip the 110 is the 1.6 k.

would really suggest you getting a 180 fella if your looking for that sort of power, would still be a lot of work if you even got the 1.8 k (120ps)

best bet is go for a 180 or convert a 4 pot to the 1.8T where 200 is possible. 110 is a non-starter if you want that level of power.

You can have both saloon or hatch, mk1 or mk2.

180 is definately the way to go if you want 190bhp. BMC CDA and a decat should see you get the 190 mark I would think - £300 for both together, plus a bit for fitting.
