bhp is a calculated figure you get from the amount of torque ;)

IF you can get a manifold made up, it shouldne be too hard to adapt throttle bodies made for a 1.4 16v to fit on. Or at least i dont think it would be :boggle: You'd proberbly need a new Engine management, but most people use one when they install the SBD kit anyway :)

maybe 95bhp if you are lucky. Why does everyone think BHP is the be-all and end-all of engine capability? Think of the torque for christs sake!!!

1-1.5 sec quicker to 60 by removing the back seat and spare,i dont think so.
Maybe 0.1 - 0.15 sec quicker.

I have the same engine but in an Astra, and I was wondering if 100bhp+ is achievable with a few trick engine mods like cam, gas flowed/ported head, chip, etc. and if anyone has done these mods, whether there were any problems encountered, that kind of thing.

Apparently this engine has a Lotus tuned head :!

Go for a performance cam, manifold+ full exhaust+ sportscat/de-cat, pullys?
should be good for 100bhp+
