Its what SBD reccomend. But it is damn fat for an N/A 1.6 engine. | |

It doesn't need it, but they want to sell it to you, and it will gain a few bhp. | |

the 164 kit needs their sbd exhaust manifold and exhaust to match it (2.5") | |

The kit is called the 164 kit, it claims 164bhp, but thats rarely achieved. I think SBD got it once on an engine dyno with no electrical load etc. | |

I got it all from various places, new and secondhand. Fitted it all myself, had it mapped pro. SBD sell a kit for about £1500 I think... | |

I did a 14.804, but think i can get it down to 14.5 with a bit of practice. Throttle bodies and a new management system are needed for decent power. | |

A C16 XE with big horse power has low touqe figures and thats what you need for a quick off the mark car aint it, just out of interest what mods you had done to your 1.6 16v engines to acheve that power i am thinking i should have gone for throttle bodies | |

ive got a tuned 1.6 in my gsi running bout 140bhp and ive got a standard 2 litre in my other corsa. the 2 litre has alot more torque ut to be honest there doesnt feel much difference in it. if i tuned my 1.6 to more it would be very close. | |

I got a GSI and I am having such a hard time deciding what to do, my engine is blowing a bit of blue smoke now (C16 XE) and is tuned to 130+bhp, do i get a recon engine as i fitted a Mantzel power box a couple of months back and carry on tuning or drop in a |
