[quote][i]Originally posted by DizzyRebel[/i] No they are over engineered, they didnt design the engine to be poweful then put restrictors in it, they designed it to be super reliable from the beginning. Were not talking garden shed creations - these are multi million pound projects, they dont spend millions on R&D of a 500bhp engine then decide to drop its output to 300bhp for no reason. Reliability is one of their key design criteria so the designers will over engineer them to the point of amazing engine life. There is a general rule of thumb with any project and that is to double your estimated budget for a more true indication of cost. Everyone i know says the same thing, as you have to budget for unpredicted mishaps and setbacks along the way as well as general want and desire for a better overall result. Id upgrade those parts for the simple reason that if i bought a second hand engine i wouldnt rest my projects success son some dodgy twats word that its a 'good runner' or its 'just been rebuilt.' Id rebuild it myself anyway for peace of mind, but whilst its in parts, instead of using standard bits id fit performance parts and have it blueprinted fpr the extra reliability it would offer and incase i wanted more power in the future. Perhaps the engine doesnt need it, but ive seen enough 300bhp lets go pop in my time as they hadnt been rebuilt first so id rather rebuild it than take your word for it thanks. Ive never owned a let corsa before, but i know a guy who builds them for a living and about 10 of his customers are good freinds so i know enough about the money they have put into theirs, the advice he gives his customers when budgeting for one and the dodgy nature of buying a second hand engine you dont know the history of.
