Engine help

I'm looking at re-registering my bug sometime soon and i thought id have a look into the costs of upgrading the engine. Its currently a 1600 with the only addition being extractors and hotdog. I was wondering if there was anything that could be added with out to much hassle for a few more hp for not to much $$, or going down the other road and getting a whole new engine (1776, 1916?).

If i was to go with a new engine would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for finding out costs involved or any other info i would need?

get rid of the hot dog muffler and fit a nice quite one, get and electronic ignition system and a set of twin carbies you can add a set of 1.25 rockers as well

Where can I get more info on the electronic ignition?

how much benifet would 1.25 rockers give to a standard 1600 with 36mm webers and 4into1 extractors? also has 009 with a compufire modual

1.4 would be better but there is still work to be done setting up the geometry

Thanks for the info. I'll have a read through that link and see what i can come up with.

I should've added this to my last post, can anyone recommend some good places to check out in either Canberra or Melbourne for parts or engine work?

The motor in my car was built by him.
VERY happy with it

Thanks, i'll give them a call early next week.
