Cooler than a redtop! And the 8v's seem pretty strong?
Get a cam for like 200£ and it will be quick!

fit a x18xe1 or a redtop. both much better engines.

my old gsi was quicker than the 2.0 8v corsa my mate had. people fit redtops for a reason

it was a c20ne so 115 hp. The gsi definately pulled alot more all through the rev range.

so from my experience i think there wank and would never have another. my current c20xe pulls much much better

thats exactly my point, 35 more bhp.

so why bother converting your corsa to an engine with similar power to a standard 1600 corsa?

doesnt seem worth the work imo
