* Change the inletmanifold
- Mantzel Powerbox
- Dbillas flowtec
- Lexmail RAM

* Change the cams?
- dbillas
- lexmaul
- kentcams
- dr shrick
- etc :)

* Change the airfilter
- GREEN Twister
- Pipercross viper inductionkit
- or just a K&N or other filter

* Change the exhaust manifold
- supersprint 421
- lexmaul 421
i would not go for a 4-1 manifold..

* Change the exhaust
- Completely supersprint
- Or any other brand

* Change the feulpressure
- Powerboostvalve
- Fuel presure regulator
- bigger injectors

* Remap the ECU
- extend revlimit
- change mixture
I'd recommend this as the final step! It costs a fortune to remap the ECU at each little change u do to the engine

I'm going to be tuning my next X16XE for the GSi ;)

Why not put an XE in it. 150bhp as standard and cheaper than trying to tune the 1.6 to that sort of power!

IM sure i will be pleased, but i know for a fact after a week or so, or a month, i will want to go faster, so i just want to know what could and should be done!

viper is ok? is this not the better one or one of the best?? if not, whats better??

thanks guys and thanks paul for the info......

what is the best induction kit you can get??

wayne :)

get the breathing sorted 1st thn start on internals :)

I'm sure coming from a 1.2 you'll be pleased enough with 109 bhp first of all!!

inlet
induction (viper is ok, but loose the cold air feed pipe)
de-cat
chip

lookin at 125-130-ish... probs in between or the lower-end...

thanks mate, s worth getting the inltet done and the unichip and the viper induction kit, also get a de-cat exhaust, im i going to be looking at around 130bhp for that then??

wayne :)

inlet - 15-25bhp
unichip - depends on engine mods you ave done... anything from 0bhp to ???bhp
exhaust fanimold - 1-4+bhp depending on other mods...

you cant just bolt something on & expect what the manufacturer says, its a case of mixing & matching components to get the best results...

so nothing is under say £300 then except maybe the viper induction kit! haha, best get saving!

do TB's give 50 bhp gain???

how much gain would you get separately f

from inlet?
unichip? how much for this too??
exhaust manifold?

cheers wayne :)

c16xe it is.

wayne

Depends, the older c16xe's seem to respond better than the slightly newer ones to the lexmaul/velos inlets. Will be a big noticable difference.

I wouldn't go for the cams tho, probably the inlet, unichip, exhasut manifold then some strengthening (apr conrods etc) then cam it, actually bin the inlet get some TB's (will cost about £2k tho :lol: )

will be probs 120+

broster has similar mods on his x16xe and he got 138bhp

not really sure, which engine is it? c16xe or x16xe?

cheers matey, and what kinda bhp gains will i get??

wayne

get a new inlet manifold there around 500 pound plus, thn u cud think bout getting cams maybes 600 for the kit and a 4 branch and a full system exhaust, thn u cud think bout a remapped ECU

use the search button theres loads of topics like this

so no-one knows of any modding i could do or how much its going to cost??

wayne

hello all,

ive currently got a 1.2i CORSA,

but in the next week or two ill will be dropping a GSI in it.

what i was wondering was, what would be the bets mods to do to get bhp gains and also, what are there prices?

ive been told that first thing i should do is to get a viper induction kit on it.........and seconly maybe a de-cat exhaust and then get it chipped!

is this the best order to do things??

if not, which way/order should i go?? and how much each thing going to cost?

thanks in advance for the help!

wayne :)
