Not really sure. The Z14 is a wierd engine, cause the whole reasone the X14/C14's were so responsive to manifold changes was because the air had to travel about 4 foot from entering the filter, to getting into the cylinder, and the Mantzel/velos boxes etc changed this to about a foot and a half. | |

Yeah. If your seriously thinking of spending money on it, theres still cams, exhausts, induction kits, ECU upgrades Etc for it, you just need to look harder for them :) | |

It would have been wiser just to buy a turbo rather than have it converted, because this is the case for all engines. | |

possibly, but for the same money you would get more than that from throttle bodies. plus they sound awesome. | |

well according to courtney sport website, they say its £3000 to fit a turbo to a corsa 1.4 16v and get a 130 - 140 bhp from that! am i right in reading that? | |

quote: erm and how much is that gonna cost? you would also need, new inlet manifold, uprated head gasket, con bolts, bottom end bolts, fuel pump just to name a few. people have turboed there 1.5d using 1.5 td parts and still cant get it setup right. stick with a manzel powerbox or similar, throttle bodies are like 3 grand. | |

Don't be ridiculous, if you want a turbo get the new corsa c turbo when it comes out, or get a c20 let from a cav/callly turbo and fit it to yours, if you wana keep your 1.4 16v then get throttle bodies or mantzel box, (tb's for best power but more expensive) | |
