Yep, thats the TB. You'd just have to have you Airt filter - Sensor - TB

Losses - Bottom end

Gains - Top end, from 4-5K and on to the limiter.

i dont see the point in getting cams etc

lotus built these engines with nearly 150 bhp and vauxhall restricted them to 105ish so the engines should b made to take abit more power than standard from vauxhall

My spec is: -

Mantzel
Headwork
Courtenay torque cams - Very mild
4-2-1 manifold
De-cat

Thats 132BHP without a re-map. A map should take it up to 140 and a bit. Maybe.
