My father has a vectra sri140 Is there any intake mods like a powercap like for a redtop that fits the ecotec? or anything like the mantzel inlet for the 1.6gsi corsa that fits ecotec 2.0?
If so what sorta power could be expected from these mods?
Anyother decent mods, apart from the traditonal mods like 4 branch, cams, remap etc

the top hat for the redtop wont fit unfortunatly,but saying that the ecotec comes with a rubber top hat as standard,there are a fair few parts out there available for the x20xev as I happen to have one myself

to be honest unsure of the benfits as there isnt one available for the ecotec .I have the ecotec in the corsa with a lightweight flywheel and cams,there are various other parts available such as manifolds ,uni-chips and people cable of doing head work

Is there any good bolt on mods for the intake manifold? Like what there is avaible for the 1.6 xe as so on. The reason i'm not intrested in the head work, cam's and so on is that my father would prefere not to have to touch the head, because the car is running fine, and once the head has been taken off the car, we always found the the engine is never just the same. same goes for any engine, most ppl will tell u that thru experience. If its not broke dont fix it.
