Wouldn't fancy having cams in without a mappable chip. The driveability must be awful I know my mates was

i got the 8v :( Huw much did you pay for the manifold, d-cat, ported head and chip if u dont mind me askin! Trying to decide if i should bother modifying this one, or save up for a new engine when i can afford the insurance

If you are going to buy a Power Boost Valve, then make sure you get some go faster stripes for your car too.

Is it 8v or 16v?

I got an 8v waiting for the engine to be finished but it's got:

Fast road cam
Pooperchip
Ported head
induction kit
s/steel exhaust
decat
s/s 4-2-1 manifold

(not all sorted yet but will have all above in a month or so...

What power will it make?

And should i start lightening and balancing things (i.e will this affect the reliability)?

PBV is useless unless u need more fuel! which you won't. get a DCAT.

I've got a release valve on my rectum.

ttt

ive got one of these power boost valves. was on the car when i got it so i dont know what the difference is really

never had any problems with it revving the tits off the engine though

i got the fast cams already. I was thinkin about a de-cat pipe, but soemone said it can make ur car sound really shit, like banged up old novas. Chip is an option, but cant hide that from insurance...:lol: Cheers for a sensible answer tho!

best mods for you are

decat and maybe fast cams and a chip to map it

i want a new toy! Any other suggestions for more power? (Apart from a new engine im only 18 so cant afford anything MAJOR like a turbo)

just alters the fuel pressure and needs properly setting up to make full use of it, as said unless ure engine is heavily modded not worth the money

anyone reckon its a good idea? Im only thinkin about it cos theres one for sale on ebay at the moment. I dont know anyone with them, so cant really ask my mates!

Pointless mate unless your engine is heavily modified, ask Adam Kindness he had one fitted to his cam'd corsa 1.4 16v and it just rev'd the tits off it and wasted heaps of fuel.

Thinking about getting one for my 1.4 SRi - anyone else got one? Does it make much difference? (i got fast road cams too if that makes any difference) how much to fit and how much to buy? Cheers, Matt!
