You can't tune it spending a wedge of cash so tuning on the cheap is not going to happen I'm afraid.

Only thing to do to it is drill the airbox (on the right side of the air filter) and put a back box on.

funny thats what i was going to say when i saw 1.3 tuning as the topic no such thing well actually for some reason cylinderheaddevelopements do big valve heads and cams for the endura-e 1.3 takes the power from 60bhp to 85bhp well worth the 800 quid lol """NOT"""

as all people will tell you swap the puma 1.7 in and get the bits the racing version has and you'll get an easy 155bhp worth the money it would fly and still give good fuel economy
dont hate the playa hate the game

i saw a post somewhere, where some1 removed their air filter, and replaced it with a metal tube and add some gause to the top of it, wud this cause any damage to the engine, they said it made the engine sound much more powerful

well you could just get a k&n air filter rather than bodging one together. i think theyre normally listed as orion ones but a lot of fiesta ones are popping up on egay and on here.

but there is truly no point in trying to tune a 1.3 . just pull it out and put in either a cvh, zetec or a puma 1700. most will say do a zetec as a lot more conversions have been done and they are becoming easier to do due to the level of expertise available all over the place. eg heeman10
