Bin the engine and fit something with more poke. Getting power from a 1.3 is like getting blood from a stone, no matter how hard you try it just won't happen.

if i was you i would find a cheap rotten xr2i and swap the engine and loom etc all over, brakes, suspension, and you will have a quicker car and the better brakes etc,

as tweek said there is no point in wasting money trying to tune a 1.3 you would be better to save money up for a year or so and get a better car when insurance will allow mate
