I have a R reg 1.6 Sport...only engine mod is a K&N and its on 15's.

A lad i kno has jus bought a 1.6 8v J reg XR2i (induction kit only)...he was sayin its fast etc..

We raced on an empty straight road twice...and i have to say both cars were dead even.

I know they have 110bhp and my corsa has 106bhp....so does this sound about right?

The XR2i should be no problem at all for a Corsa Sport

You will probably loose power with the induction kit whether it be dirty or not as its gonna suck in more hot air than standard
