Modifications for the Citroen BX
When tuning your BX it is important that you get it right so follow our BX tuning overview and see which the best modifications are.
Available in standard form with power of upto 160bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the BX. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 176bhp to 272bhp but this depends on how deep your pockets are and how much fairy dust you want to use! You will almost certainly need to look at turbo or supercharger mods to get near that maximum power figure and your engines internals would need to be a fair bit stronger!
The more powerful BX Hatchbacks provide a suitable donor engine for the lower powered models in the range. The more powerful BXs respond well to tuning mods. Your first engine modifications for your BX should be an induction kit, sports exhaust and fuel boost valve.
The next level of modifications involve taking more aggressive action. The BX responds well to a fast road cam which is one of the best value mods out there. Getting better flow through the head of the engine would reward your BX with more power. So get the engine head polished and ported.
The most powerful BX Hatchback in our database offers 160 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 176 bhp to 272bhp with mods we have outlined above.
Citroen put together a nice package but the turbo BX owners have a real tuners dream. A remap and Intercooler will add a lot of power to the engine and in some cases you can double your power. The top BX offers a base power level of 160 bhp. When setup for motorports we can expect to see almost mythical power figures approaching 208 bhp to 304 bhp! High on your list of mods for your BX should be handling improvements. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
