corsa120, i believe that i said cavalierGSi as well as calibra16v, and they were both on sale in 1993?!? Yeah, i forgot mk3GSi, and the mk4gsi did not even get the C20XE engine so i can :lol: all i want. Simple fact of the matter is, a lowCC N/A 4pot engine is not going to have amazing torque figures, but the peak power figure is justified with good on-road drivability. over 200bhp is possible from this engine with a 9k rev limit, with money of course, and end up with the same amount of torque as a 2.0VTEC from honda, and thats reliable too, with regular maintainance. pccuk blah blah, dont know what you are going on about really, dont know what a networkQ instant update is?? care to enlighten me oh wonderous one?? | |

why you laughing cybermonkey look at the honda vti with 160bhp it has same torque as the c16xe/x16xe roughly within 1 or 2 ibf.ft | |

I'm fairly sure that they'd have tested that figure themselves, 109bhp was the Vauxhall book figure, its not beyond possibility that the road they used showed 107. | |

right lets clear a few things up. the 148bhp seen was in fact nearer 155, and was from the C16XE engine during rigorous testing with vauxhall.it was reduced so not t overshadow the C20XE powering the Astra GTE, Calibra 16v, cav GSi2000. was the C16 designated as Ecotec-4?? I thought that was X16?? Anyway, those figures are wrong in that article, because the C16 engine is 109bhp at 6000rpm and about 107lb/ft torque at 3500rpm. Top speed is also 121 mph, and thats definate. | |

that article is showing a very good point to all 1.6 tuners the engine seen 148bhp but the torque was Not there and niether was the fuel economy | |

quote: its a 1994 "L" reg corsa B Gsi 1.6 16v C16xe with 80k miles! so these figures are from autocar for a standard Gsi, how reliable and accurate are they? 8.7sec for 0-60 for a standard 1.6 is not bad :! what figures u reckon my car is running with its mods so far? cheers for info mate :thumbs: | |
