Just wondering about something...
I was reading somewhere that the 1.8 Astra TF throttle body can fit rather well to the Corsa B 1.4, as they are the same size but the Astra's has bigger internal volume, hence increasing performance.
I was thinking would this be applicable to the Corsa C 1.4 with, say a Astra G 1.8?
Would like a nice performance gain without spending crazy money on something like dbilas...

Apparently you can put a Nova GTE/GSI throttle body onto a corsa 1.6 as these are bigger, i think miles told me about it, think its not that simple though

i think the other prob c owners have is the drive by wire throttle body if you went for tb you would have to install throttle cables and stuff

Although not throttle bodies, Mantzel now does kit for the Corsa C just like the 16V Corsa B engines.

...Yeah £600 for 15 brake  .... and then you need a re-map ideally.
