What can I do to my 16v Corsa SRi to improve the performance, power-wise, handling, etc..

I've got some money saved up and wanna spend it, but I wanna mod the 1.4 engine. I dont want to drop an XE in as I've already got a Corsa with one in, so.. ideas!!

Tbh, you won't see much power gains from a 1.4 16v without spending a lot of money. Handling wise, get some Koni coilovers with Eibach springs. And some bigger brakes.

Yes they would add a sizeable bhp. BUT it would cost a lot of money to get tb's set up properly with the right managment. u2u Dave A about tb's, he's the man with the knowledge

If your on a bit of a budget and can't afford TB's go for an aftermarket inlet, Mantzle/Dbilas. The standard inlet on these engines is very restrictive. You will see a healthy gain. Without binning this, theres no point in doing anything else to the engine at all.
