u could see 125/130bhp with all this even more maybe


Wrong fool. More power can be gained from a drilled airbox and performance panel filter than any stupid induction kit.

Dave


erm, he says panel filter and there it hasnt been edited.

Disagree, for the cost of an exhaust system and manifold you could get the powerbox and that will release much more power than than any exhaust.

Now now Dave, no need to be so harsh :P

But he is correct. Vauxhall engines work better with the original air box and panel filter + some drill holes.

As said, inlet manifold is a good mod, as is an exhaust manifold. (lexmaul £315, Janspeed £170). Difference being one is mild steel n one is stainless, both 4-2-1.

Bin the cat or get a sports cat.

Flow the inlet manifold ports and exhaust manifold, pocketd pistons, cams (256, or 264, or higher for more pull at higher revs), valve springs, aliminium cam belt tensioner, rod bolts, and ur sorted. Should be on the upper end of 130bhp if setup right :)

The inlet manifolds are the way forward, even with a standard exhaust and filter, the mantzel type products are the best bhp/£.

as above, the engine is the 1.4 16v.

i all ready know about inlet manifold

i'm also thinkin of drilled air box with a performance panel filter
and maybe a janspeed exhaust manifold, sports cat maybe (dunno who do these) custom exhaust cat back

i don't know wot else or is this enough

also will i ave to remap ECU or a chip????

I want to keep the engine reliable as well

wot BHP/torqe (sp) do u think i'll see with these engine mods

cheers :thumbs:


EDIT: i don't want mega BHP
