well after a lot of money and time i finally got the engine the way i wanted it. there is still a couple of things i need to change and get to completly finish it. the guy at wallace managed to gain as much as 30bhp at some points with the unichip.
it made 148bhp and 122 foot pounds of torque. it was still wanting to go more but the rev limiter hasnt been raised yet. it was also on normal fuel and with a k&n filter, also the lambo sensor isnt working properly.
he seems to think i could make 5bhp more with v-power alone. getting a viper induction kit ordered tomorrow.
still hoping to get as close to my target of 160bhp.
would just like to say a thanks to Dave A for putting up with my constant phone calls,txts and u2u's. also to everyone who supplied me with parts and help.
any feedback is welcome negative or positive. i am also looking to what i could do next to get more power. (not throttle bodies)

good figures.
will be better with the Viper, and better fuel.
to get more power without TBs, get some vernier pullies (the Dbilas ones) or some proper management, should see a few more bhp.
have you got a graph? - edit - just seen

robin read the second post, also the guy said i wouldnt have gained much more with any other managment and he is ment to be the king of vauxhalls so i aint going to argue with him.

Nice spec! Can't complain really. Well done for doing all this to a 1600 and not just wacking a 2l in.
