Probably less than standard with an induction kit, ecotosh valve and an exhaust that doesnt create enough back pressure.

Well to start with you can't get a group A scorpion exhaust for a 1400 Corsa. Group A means rally spec 2.5inch bore - full system, not cat back. Yours is probably 2inch diameter.
The car is 90Bhp as standard so you'd be pushing about 95/97Bhp and don't let anyone tell you any different. If you had a remap on the rollers you'd possibly see little over 100Bhp taking for granted that your engine is well looked after and in decent nick.

Thats bollocks. The ecotech valves are only good for high CC/power engines. The exhaust is far too big, big power is needed to make the most of it. As for the induction kit, you are probably drawing in too much heated air, corsas dont like induction kits UNLESS plenty of cold air feeds are supplied. And thats a fact!

grp a zoorst is far too big for a standard engine, need to be running cams, headwork to make the most from it, i agree with dave.

dont get anymore bhp than with a drilled airbox. zorrst will loose power, ecotec will do bugger all.

Depends on how much power the engine makes as standard.
Vauxhalland most manufacturers quote an average figure at its lowest point. I>e if ten engines make 90-95 bhp then they quote 90as the figure. Its something to do with SAE or automotive legilation. The law says you can't over quote power but you can underquote.
So your std engine may make anything from 90-94/95 bhp. Depends on if it was thrashed from new, how good nick rest of engine is, serviced etc.
Its like when you read dyno days figures, eben if rr's are a litle innacurate std cars seem to make slightly different power figures.
The Ectek doesn't do much though...
