quote: This is common amongst corsa B's too. At 70 mph, my 1.6 used to sit at around 3.5k. Too high for 5th i reckon, however, it did keep the power band high so that instant power was available when needed. Will be the F13 gearbox which is found in many corsa B's and C's incl the Sport 1.4's and SRi's. Only the range topping corsa B GSi or Sport 1.6 got the F15 box, and the ratios werent much different from the F13. I am not sure what gearbox the 1.8 SRi Corsa C uses. I presume its the F15?? | |

other problem with the c is the gearbox.there just crap you are reving out at about 110 in 5th and at 70 your doing like 4k | |

Firstly, I think they increased the power on the corsa c through the ecu refinements, but spread it all through the rev range (thus reducing top end power) through different cams as the corsa b. | |

i remember reading an article in total vauxhall, and you can take your standard car to a dyno with a uni-chip or similar, and ask them to map your engine for peak performance, and the gains to be had are quite respectable. Manufacturers of small mass produced cars want an engine that gives a balance between performance, emissions and economy. Tuning it purely for performance will give good results. You have to remember that on a small capacity engine like a 1.2, increases like this are relative, and you may only see a 2-5bhp difference. A good example of an engine with too much economy in mind is the old C12NZ engines in corsa B's (1.2 8v). These were focused too much on economy and emissions, and performance suffered as a reslt. | |

No, I have a Corsa 2.0 that is pretty rapid, fastest thing I beat in it was a civic type R, but it was close, however a friend has a Seat Ibiza sport 130 tfi with a chip and something goes from 130 - 170 bhp or something ridiculous and I can only just keep with that. | |

I would want one to drive about for a bit until I can do an engine transplant, the one I got has some cosmetic rust tatty paint and stuff, its over 10 years old with engine transplant. | |

Corsa B 1.2 16v is supposed to be 65 and the C 75, but all RR reports I've seen give the B 75 bhp. | |

apparently the corsa C 1.2 16v got extra power through ecu refinements.. so you may be able to get something extra out of a corsa B | |
