well guys, its not a corsa i know, but its stil a smallblock xe so thought id post it here too.
got the car on the rollers over at jam-sport. went over with the mk3oc posse.
1.4 16v are around the 90bhp mark as standard.
today my mildly modified one cooked up 115bhp @ 6100rpm which i am very impressed with.
just want to say thanks to the guys at jam-sport too.

so what you guys think of that?

its the inlet giving you that gain, you wont be getting any from the exhaust or airbox

one was a mpi 8v which ran 104bhp, and the other was a 16v which ran 113bhp

well it must be the inlet manifold. where else would the power have come from?

none too bad mate....

My wifes 1.4 16v ran 110bhp on the rollers with full exhaust, de-cat, Dbilas inlet and janspeed manifold. so good result there.
Only difference was it hit the limiter with the power still rising.

what happened at the end

and wheres power at the wheels, id rather a wheel reading than a flywheel reading, not directed at jamsport but a flywheel reading really could be anything
