Performance parts package 1.6 NB SG180

This performance package represents our final stage in naturally aspirated engine tuning. With 180 HP from a fully rebuilt 1.6L engine combined with an individual throttle body (ITB) setup, this is the top of the NA food chain – uncompromising, reliable, and motorsport-proven.

All products, including this package, are developed by SPS Motorsport on the racetrack, adapted for street use, and continuously refined. We place the highest value on the quality, function, and OEM-like appearance of every component we install.

Power Upgrade to 180 HP – Components Installed

• Fully rebuilt 1.6 NB naturally aspirated engine (Stage 2)
• Modified connecting rods, custom pistons, reinforced main and rod bearings
• Optimized oil pump and Fluidampr
• Fully resealed engine and cylinder head
• Reworked cylinder head with new seals, lapped valves, upgraded camshafts
• Jenvey T42 individual throttle body kit
• SPS header kit incl. sports catalytic converter
• Programmable standalone ECU incl. wideband lambda sensor
• Half-size aluminum radiator (part of the ITB kit)
• SPS Motorsport oil cooler kit
• New water pump, timing belt, and spark plugs
• Fresh oil change with Motalin 10W-60 HP Racing incl. oil filter

This setup delivers razor-sharp throttle response, high-revving character, and maximum durability – ideal for spirited street driving and track use.

Note: Full power is only achieved when paired with an exhaust system featuring a minimum pipe diameter of 55 mm. We recommend our Group A exhaust system, which can be added as an accessory during checkout. Without it, the 180 HP target will not be reached.
