It's a higher performance camshaft. Basically the valves stay open for longer when using a performance camshaft, the time is dependent on the shape of the cam lobes... | |

T40's and a 285 cam, you'll be around 100BHP this is the same spec the nova sports ran. | |

ok so at a guess how much bhp would the 1.3 have if i upgraded the carbs to 40's what else would be cheapish but effective? | |

Throttle bodies use electronic fuel injection, you have one throttle body and fuel injector per cylinder and an ECU which controls fueling and ignition. Downfall is they are pretty expensive and cost a fair bit to set up... | |

As j1400 said... Apparently you can get 120mph out of a 1.2 8v on throttle bodies so long as its on the right gear box... ;) | |

If you want to bump the output then tiwn 40's 285deg cam, flowed head and tubualr maniofld will see you just shy of 100BHP | |

im really considering putting this engine into my corsa, but i need lots of help, what can i do to the engine to increase bhp its a 1.3 8v carb engine, also could i put the 1.2 8v back into the nova? i have a spare 1.4 8v and two spare 1.2 8vs the 1.4 is litterally buggerd no good for corsa but could i use parts onto the 1.3 from the 1.4, any help would be gr8 |
