quote: The extra CCs in a 20XE will always give it an advantage in power and torque for a given amount of money spent on the engine. Yes you can tune up the 1.6 to over 200bhp, but you need to stick your hand deeper in your pocket than to get a 20XE over 200bhp. However, some people reckon that if you've got the wonga, this aint a bad route to go down because, all ohter things being equal, a lighter well sorted 1.6 will handle better than a well-sorted 20XE | |

Yea, standard, although mine 'might have a performance manifold and chip in it so it could be pulling a bit over 160bhp' :lol:... Fuck me - 0-60 in 7 secs!!! It's going in my 1.2 8v!!! :D:D | |

do you want standard performance figures? 150/157 bhp (C20XE/20XE), 0-60 in just under 7 seconds. | |

And then you could tune the C20XE up and it'd piss all over the little C16 anyway, no matter how much tuning you did to it... Is there anywhere I can find some performance figures for a C20'd Corsa, whenever I have done a search I always find some figures, then somone else has posted that thos figures are wrong :boggle: | |

there was a thread recently about difference between tuned 1.6s and standard 2.0s. General consensus was that the 2.0 wins because of the torque, even if the 1.6 has slightly more bhp. | |

Wicked power to weight ratio then... But then, a tuned C16XE could make a similar power to a C20 could it not? That would be even better :) | |

yeh the box was all I could think of to make extra weight, but not 40-50kg! | |

Oh, and my car, even with false floor, V6 brakes, rear discs, smooth boot, skirts (Stienys are heavvvvy) and 1/2 tank it came out at 1.02 tonnes. So it will still be less than a tonne. | |

Corsa is about 950-970 with no people and 1/2 tank of fuel. | |
