ever since i went down 2 trax a couple of years ago, and saw a porche down there, it was rally art'd and go knows what it had under the bonnet, but it rev'd like a motorbike! i loved it!

im in the process of puting a c20xe in my corsa b, and i just wondered if there was anyway i could get these sorts of effects from my engine, getting a lightened and balanced flywheel would help i guess, but i was just after some advice on what that would do, and if there was any more things i could do, or if it just aint the engine to do it to full stop.

cheers guys

and i hope you can help, im all ears!

A remap would raise the rev limit. Most mod's will see a marginal increase too.

to have the crank, con rods, and flywheel all lightened and blanaced, are there any ballpark figures? and i guess it would be worth doing while the engine is out, or should i just get the standard lump in and running first?!

Lightened flywheel, induction kit WITH cold air feed should improve responsiveness.

do it while the engine is out .u can lighten them and polish them yourself thats wot i did.overwise it could cost quite a bit.getting them all balanced shouldnt be that much i got mine done for bout a hundred quid but dat was cus i knew the bloke.
