Hello and welcome to the site mate

why was it detuned when it came into the country ? thats the reason for most jap imports was because they came more powerful
 
In Japan, the Charade 1.6 16v are called a GTI and have 124bhp. When the brought the same car to the UK, they detune the engine to 105bhp and call it the GSXI. I dont know why they detune the engine but this is what every website says.
 
ahh right so its not actually a jap import then right. i thought it was detuned when imported

could be some internals in the engine along with a different fueling map.
 
yeh i cant find out from anywhere what the difference is, my guess was the map maybe a different cam dunno? ive been trying to find an exhaust, air filter, a nice 421 manifold maybe some cams aswell but nothing. anyone with any ideas?
