Only preems can search.
Aftermarket inlet manifold is not too expensive and will give yuo good gains

Anyway if people had to search all the time there would be no point in posting anymore.
What is your budget?

Depends how far you are willing to go with the engine really:
- Inlet Manifold
- Exhaust Manifold
- Decat
- Catback
- Either drill holes in your airbox / enclosed type induction kit
- Kent Cams
- Head ported / polished
You would see over 130bhp I'd imagine with that

Not forgetting the vernier pulleys (only dbilas) and a re-map to finish it off.
Been there, done nearly all of that list. Save and buy some throttle bodies

youve had nothing but bother with the honda though. new engine, new this and that. your corsa was never that un-reliable at all was it?
edit, forgot the ? at the end like a pillock.

can get a good 230bhp out the 1600 16v with plenty of mods on it.
theyre really not a bad engine like everyone is seeming to make out.

not just engine mods tho! gearboxes ar as soft as shite in th B16 and they ring drives like nothing ordinary. don't know how much group N drives would be but they wouldn't be cheep! for the price a well tuned civic you could buy a moderate evo 5.
