na not at at all when the weather is dry the corsa gets traction very well. | |

Getting the power down with Turbo Corsas is an art in itself. Managing to keep traction whilst not spinning the wheels in every gear is extremely hard. Once its going though, not much can beat it, hence the 13.9 1/4 mile. Gathers speed very quickly. | |

Craig pcg clocked a 13.9 1/4mile in his 2.0ltr turbo corsa so it cant be that bad for traction? | |

quote: Sound better Perform better (in the corsa) Sound better sound better sound much much better Also, delivering the power of a turbo in the corsa is terrible. Wheels are still trying to spin in 4th in the phase 1/2? 270bhp conversion. Been in a 250bhp 2.1 16v on TB and 280bhp 2.0litre turbo. What would have won? TB motor would have obliterated the turbo without fail. | |

Go for a 2.0 16v and slap on some TB's. | |

C20LET with F28 (with phase 3 tuning and some QUAIFE bits) | |

1.6 would be better for handling + decent power but the 2.0 turbo is always going to be quicker throw 3-4k at it and it's a 350bhp phase 3.5 beast but if you want fun drivable cheap corsa get a c20xe in there.... | |

No wrong, thats what you heard from mattyb. No one can be sure what the UK spec will be until vauxhall release details on the car. Everything so far is just rumours. Irmscher are bring a 2.0 Turbo Corsa C to PV show, but it might just be a modified version. Time will tell. | |

new GSi isnt a 1.6 damio its a 2.0 pushing 202 bhp. | |

The new GSi isnt out yet, and details are still sketchy. Could you imagine trying to put a Corsa C engine into a Corsa B? You would need a first class honours degree in electrical engineering to get round that one! The 20LET is even heavier, and will cause massive understeer, which in the wet is about as much fun as stapling your cock to your arse cheeks. | |

There is no such thing as a standard 1.6 turbo engine from vuxhall anyway. Any one-off turbo for the X/C16XE engine will be unreliable and prone to failure. The C20LET from the Cavalier/Calibra is designed for a large heavy car. The 20LET is pointless in a corsa, it wheelspins in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, which isnt much fun when you are forking out for new tyres every 3 months. The 2.0 turbo conversion is expensive, but the only effective way at the moment of getting reliable turbo power in a corsa. You are much better off going for the 20XE engine from the Astra GTE, cavalier GSi or Calibra 2.0 16v. | |

hey there folks i am considering doing some serious mods to my corsa and i just wondered what your suggestions were on the performance between a 2.0 turbo and a 1.6 turbo conversion in a corsa b (which is the fastest) and what type of price difference are we looking at which is going to cost more etc?....cheers folks |
