15.21 1/4 mile Hopefully down to a 15.1 or 15.0???
Top end of about 135mph.

Or if your loudgirl, it does 140mph. :lol:

1vis the much better engine though. But the 8v is cheaper, and still quite tuneable, and if it fcuks up, u can always go down to local scrappy and get the new parts for feck all, where-as the 16v parts are much more expensive.



yeah just the one valve is v speedy :lol:

The Astra GSi must be fucked I reckon. 2.0 8v Corsa is nowt special at all.

Its a 2litre one, im sure this car does 0-60 in around 7 secs but after that its slower. Theres so much torque in the low gears.

8 or 9 secs 0-60 i'd imagine, and probably about 18secs quarter mile

16v... lots better, up to 70bhp better :D

Roughly what 0-60 and quarter mile times would my mates 2litre 8v 130bhp (from cav sri) get? It used to be a 1.4 8v sri.
Has anyone else got this conversion? Is the 16v engine in there a lot better?
