[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] over the years there has been loads of posts on this subject. so on sunday we finally completed the conversion on chris's (username Viperboy) 2.0 16v corsa. got it all running nicely and took it out for a run. pulls really well, as you would expect from a 2l corsa. also got a chance to get my 1.6 16v on throttle bodies all set up on the laptop (had a dodgy throttle position sensor) and fitted my new omex 3 bar fuel pressure regulator. both cars are putting out very similar power figures. took both cars out for a quick test, had a good idea of what would happen and all was as expected. my 1.6 turned into corners/roundabouts so much better and was a lot more stable in the bends, carried speed through the bends with much less effort. it also pulled much better out of the bends and gained a car length over the 2.0l with ease. was a lot quicker up to 60mph. then after 70mph the tables turned and the 2.0l pulled past my 1.6 with ease. in conclusion, i love the way both engines perform. i would be happy driving both but i love the way my 1.6 handles. seems a lot more stable and less 'unsure' than the 2.0l i can definately tell the difference of the extra weight. before anyone starts, all tests were done on a deserted industrial estate at 11pm on sunday night. very wide roads and no side turnings onto it. if we did see any other cars/ people we slowed down until it was all clear again. all i need now is more power:D [/quote]
