Hi all car lovers...


JUst would like to know if anyone out there have any friends that changed their tiara engine to Citroen AX 1.4 GTi engine ?? I know it will hardly have ppl who will look into Tiara car ... :unsure: But just wanna know the performance nad how much it cost to do this changes/modification ???


I heard some spare part shop actually selling normal 1.4 Citroen AX engine and claim it is GTi engine ... Anyone know how to differentiate between ORI GTI and self claimed 1.4 Engine ???

Dear Derict,

I'm a proud Tiara Owner and I thought that I'm the only one with this car. Anyhow, I was nearly a proud owner of the 1.4 GTi engine but when i got to the junk yard. It was only a normal 1.4 litre. Ok I am not too sure how to differentiate the GTi and Non-GTi, however, I believe that 1.4 carburetor is the non GTi and Fuel injection one is the GTi.

HorsePower: I believe is 108hp for GTi or less.
Alternative: Put 2E or 4E Toyoto starlet turbo

Hope this helps. Email me if you wanna chat more. Ciaos!

GTi engine

AX GTi engine is multipoint fuel injection. There two types of AX GT engine

1. 1.4 with a twin choke carb (Weber or Solex), 85hp
2. 1.4 Monopoint injection 75-80bhp

GTi engine produces 95-105hp. Two models actually.

So far there are only three Tiaras with AX GTi engine. One is still under construction. My brother can claim to be the first in the country to use the GTi engine, back in 2001. A loose engine complete with wiring, gearbox and driveshaft. A lucky find for just RM1100! AX GTi halfcut costs around 3.5k, if you can find one that is! Only this year the other two tiara owners managed to get their hands on GTi halfcuts.

My brother is a tiara specialist. He repairs and modifies tiara. We had tested his Tiara GTi against a 4E turbo Tiara. The GTi has no problem beating the turbo Tiara both on acceleration and top speed. The GTi engine sounds nice. In fourth gear, the revs cuts in at 190kph (ends of Tiara meter reading), change into fifth it goes even faster.. surprisingly the 1.1 suspension just about manage to cope with the GTi power..

Now he dumped the GTi engine in favour of a 1.8 engine with twin weber sidedraught carbs. This is NOT the engine found in 1.8 ZX, it still looks the same as a 1.1 Tiara engine. It's a conversion actually. The acceleration is brutal. He is having fun thrashing turbo cars like Bluebird with SR20DET engine, 4G63T Wiras etc.
