1.6 8v 0-60 8.7 sec top speed 118
1.6 16v 0-60 10.2 sec top speed 115

1.6 8v was gsi corsa b in south africa
they didn't have the 16v
I think it had over 100bhp

can u use a pix on ur computer?if so how do ya put it on here?

oops, i meant the 2litre the redtop compared to the new breed in the new motors ;)

there is no 1600 8v is there ??????????????????????? new 1 on me lol

oh right, my mistake - its only the 1.2 16v which has chains.
and the 1600 8v was quicker than the 16v cos the lack of emmision handling i think and bits like that, but as rule of thumb the 16v is quicker i thought

It'll be a belt mate. 16v engines have got cam belts not chains

my 16v has a cam belt too, it snapped! Got new engine now so all is well.

Isnt the 1.6 8v more powerful than the 16v??

seems theres quite alot of confusion....

my 16v has a cam belt :boggle:

yeah my mate whos a mechanical engineer is coming with me, he knows all the techincal know how, keep them right :)

too right mate! bloody skanks

well i only got it last weeks, and its goin back in the gargae 2morrow to get some t hings sorted out, so im gonna ask why it wasnt chnaged b4 i bought it after all its was due to be changed 10,000 miles ago, hopefully thay will do it for nowt cause the other things are getting sorted under warrenty, maybe they will cause iv had it less than 30 days.

0-60mph in 11.1 seconds
111Mph Top Speed

its not a cam belt BTW with th 16v engines its a chain which doesnt need to be changed as often as belts ;)

90bhp 0-60 in 10.5s approx

as for servicing, dont take it to vauxhall to get the belt changed, they charge you an arm & a leg

yep its an ecotec engine, 16v then, thanks bud. what performance figures am i looking at with this engine? the cam belt and pullys need changing how much am i looking at for this?

that was the crossover point from 8v to 16v, have ya fingers crossed that u have the faster 16v block

And if the engine looks kinda big and has covers its a 16V. If its small with no covers its an 8V.

it'll be a mpi

if it has ecotec written on the engine under the bonnet it'll be a 16v

just bought myself a Corsa SRi 1995, could some 1 tell me a bit about the engine, eg: 16v or 8v? s.p.i or m.p.i?

had a punto previously so corsas are new 2 me.:boggle:
