quote: c16xe... yeh it was originally tuned to 150BHP but as you said they didnt want poeple not to buy the astra.... also the engine was produced jsut around the time the eu brought in stricter emission levels so the engine was detuned... | |

ive been told that the origional corsa c15xe lump was lotus tuned to about 140bhp, but VXL downpowered it cos it was gonna be too good for standard and was gonna compete too much with the astra gsi. if this is true, you can see how,,,, by the maze of an inlket manifold. | |

Yea my mate hes got a 1.4 16v with Dbilas Dynamic inlet, cams, chip (raised rev), full zort inc de-cat and thats proven 125 bhp maybe jus below actually ... and thats seriously fast for a 1.4 | |

quote: what i'm saying is poeple think 1.6 engines are crap... and this is true in standard form... change the inlet and its the 1.6 becomes a completely different engine.. imo... the main reason that poeple say the 2.0 has so much torque is because there is no restrictive inlet on them... combine that bit with the extra 400cc's is what makes them SOOOOOO different... a 1.6 with aftermarket inlet is well worth it if yer thinking about converting... the 2.0 is better again... but not everyone can have one... | |
