What is the most BHP that anyone has got out of the different engines for the corsa? I wanna know how far i can take my 1.4 8v SRi, or if i should just save for a new engine, plus it would be interesting to know anyway. I saw the 2.5 V6 in total vauxhall with 275BHP...
<edit cos im tired and cant spell!>

1.6 can go to 200hp
1.4 could go to around 190-200hp
2.0L go to 250hp
2.0L turbo 300hp
any other engine are just not worth tunning

i wanted to get my 1.4 8v so around 150, but is this possible? I have 270 degree lift fast road cams, straight through performance exhaust, induction kit, and im saving up for a 4 2 1 manifold and chip. Possibly decat pipe too. Imagine having 300bhp in a corsa though!!! Apart from being a bit dangerous, it wud be sooo much fun playing with the big boys!

yes for a 1.4 16V get a inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, exhaust decat, cam and a unichip or a set of TB's for the 8V probably not worth doing but you'd need TB's and to behonest your better off getting a 1.6 16V

i think ill just go for a mappable chip as my insurance said they will cover it without raising my premium, and its not THAT expensive. Then save up for a bigger engine when i can afford the insurance. Im paying £1040 as it is! cheers for the advice tho

I'd just get the bigger engine chip waste of money. UNICHIP costs £420 and will only give you a few extra ponnies. not going to make any differece to behonest. maybe if you fitted other stuff but not on it's own

He has got quite a lot of other stuff though in fairness. Might free up a few extra horses.

£420!! Never knew they were that much, i was thinking about £150. Looks like i'll be saving for a new engine! Thanks again 4 the advice though, given me some ideas.

1.6 can go to 240hp
1.4 could go to around 200+hp
2.0L go to 300hp
2.0L turbo 400hp
Thats what roughy the engines can go to on fast road spec, without Nitrous, and only the turbo having forced induction.

Wouldn't say that. Theres a guy on Mig running a 1.4 8v block and 16v head (think) running throttle bodies and around 175bhp.
Torques never going to be amazing on a small engined NA car.
Still, im sure a 175bhp 1.4 will give a 155bhp 2.0litre a run for its money.
Theres a Tigra done by *Cough homos* Regal. An old guy, been keeping track of it over the last few years. Think thats running around 250bhp+, but has a T25 turbo, lowered compression, NOS, inlet manifold etc etc. Still, bet that shifts some!!
