	oh right thanks anyways mate!!!

	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. On the Z14's though, there is no big induction manifold, but they still only produce 90BHP, so i dont know what restricts it.

	and how much bhp u reckon i could get out of it then? without throttle bodies
Rob H	posted on 30th May 03 at 13:26
	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 :)

	i kno yeah, i guess i just have to make do with what i got then huh!!!
Rob H	posted on 30th May 03 at 13:22
	It would have been wiser just to buy a turbo rather than have it converted, because this is the case for all engines. :)

	im starting to think i shouldnt have brought this car lol :(
Rob H	posted on 30th May 03 at 13:18
	Yes thats right, but there not very reliable, or so ive been told. Theres not many options with this engine, as im pretty sure although Mantzel, Velos, lexmaul and SBD do bits for the C14XE/X14XE, they dont make stuff for the Z14XE, which the C's have. The only option me and my mate could find is a Dbillas manifold or their throttle bodies. although there was only about 5bhp difference between the two :boggle:

	i know but im addicted to turbo's :) i really want one, and i only recently brought this car so, plus love the sounds of the dump valve,
Kris TD	posted on 30th May 03 at 13:11
	possibly, but for the same money you would get more than that from throttle bodies. plus they sound awesome.
Corsakid84	posted on 30th May 03 at 13:08
	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: Originally posted by Corsakid84 wouldnt the turbo for the 1.6l engine fit the 1.4 engine? cus my mate from vauxhall said it would! without many modifications 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.
Corsakid84	posted on 30th May 03 at 12:12
	ok cheers, might just go for the throttle bodies then!!!

	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)
Corsakid84	posted on 30th May 03 at 12:08
	wouldnt the turbo for the 1.6l engine fit the 1.4 engine? cus my mate from vauxhall said it would! without many modifications

	quote: Originally posted by Corsakid84 WHY NOT BOTHER WITH A TURBO? THEY ARE BRINGING OUT THE 1.6 TURBO! why becasue you are better off getting throttle bodies. plus noone makes an off the shelf turbo kit for the 1.4. it would need shit loads of internal stuff uprating for a turbo.

	lol

	my mate has a 1.2 sxi and he stuck a exhaust on....now it has like 400brake... Im sure if you stuck a exhaust on...or a sunstrip even...your looking at well over 800 brake..... and before you ask...neon washer jets do increase horse power

	WHY NOT BOTHER WITH A TURBO? THEY ARE BRINGING OUT THE 1.6 TURBO!
Kris TD	posted on 30th May 03 at 12:00
	you can get 200 bhp with throttle bodies etc.. loats of money though. dont bother with a turbo on this engine.
Corsakid84	posted on 30th May 03 at 11:44
	how much brake horse power could i get out of this babie! and what are the modz to get it there!? how much for a turbo conversion, keeping it as a 1.4?
