int rec(int n1)
{
int x=8;

if(n1<=80)
{
int n1=x+rec(n1);
return(n1);
}
else
return 0;
}
#include<stdio.h>
int rec(int n);
void main()
{
int n;
printf("enter no");
scanf("%d",&n);
rec;
printf("%d",rec);
}

I want 8*10= 80 to be printed!!!!

This will put your program in an infinite loop.
The problem with the code is
1. you are using n1 as a case condition.
2. your program is recursively calling itself without modifying n1. n1 can't be updated unless the following line is executed.

what you can do for example is

n1 = n1 * x;
rec(n1);
*but if you write it like
n1 = n1 + x;
you will get 18, as only the first computation(round) result is being returned.
