The site above doesn't work very well.. I'm trying to find out what offset the Mk4 Astra is. Is it the same ET49 as the Corsa?

Damn, I definately did notice a lack of power when I test drive the car.

but it handled the road good. I also noticed that there isn't much out there for the Mk4 Astra.

How come you cant change the inlet manifold? I take it that it is different from the one on the corsa's then?

The XEL engine in the Mk4 isn't one you can change the inlet manifold on though unfortunately.

Generally these engines don't suffer with problems running induction kits, but to be fair neither do the Corsa engines as a rule.

I think it is the X16XEL engine in there, pretty much the same as the X16XE, but with less power! Still has the same restrictive inlet I believe.

Hi everyone, Hopefully if I manage to sell my Corsa this week I will be getting a 1.6 Astra SXi. Just wondered if anyone has any information they can give me on modifying this car. I would like to know the do's and don't of the engine and so forth. Also will the Ecotec engine in the Astra suffer the same problems as the Corsa if I put an induction kit on it.

Any advice and info would be much appreciated.

Cheers 16VCorsa
