SBD sell a TP134 throttle body kit for the x14xe engine which gives out the stated 134bhp. With head work, cams and decent ECU etc.. think you can get around 180bhp from the 1.4 16v lump.

Are there any tuning companies that do stuff for the good old C14SE? Apart from Courtenay and possibly Regal?

Theres a guy on mig who used an 8v bottom end and a 16v head etc, on TB, running 165bhp at the mo. Sent me his spec sheet, think i've deleted it, but it was kinda like Andy Hamiltons i.e quite long!

I thinkn the Tigra done by *Cough, wankers* regal, is running a T25 Turbo, 75bhp NOS, Inlet Manifold etc etc to run about 220-270bhp (although they claim 300bhp).

As far as I know, the X14XE and X16XE share the pretty much same head - Matt Crowther dropped in my Schrick cams into the head of his 1.4 Ecotec engine without mods. I've also heard from the guy that maintains the SBD site that SBD have just developed a new tuning package for the 1.4, which is quite an advance on the 135bhp package they currently offer.
