[quote][i]Originally posted by Cybermonkey[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] For the guys with highly tuned 1600s, I assume that your modifications are mainly bolt on bits, tbs, uprated bits n bobs etc and according to brosters garage, hes running just under 140bhp. Is it not possible to reverse vaux's doing to get 140bhp on the standard engine, and THEN bolt on all your uprated mabobs. Surely this will smash your current power outputs and put corsas into serious competition with the other similar cars (IE citroen pugs and fords.) OR... [b]am I just rambling on a load of bullshit?[/b] yes. in all honesty, there is no info on the exact spec vauxhall used when they were developing the C16XE, but it was probably the use of wilder cams, and a very short inlet tract. the whole idea and practice with the aftermarket inlet manifolds is to try and gain back [b]some[/b] of that power lost when the engine was detuned, hence why fitting a lexmaul inlet manifold plus a few bits here and there can release a potential 20bhp. if you were to spend a fortune redesigning the whole inlet from the airbox right through to the throttle body, you may well see some very impressive gains with the use of a custom exhaust.
