Hi guys I was wondering if any of you ever experimented with the corsa b 1.6 sport, what's best for upgrade parts I'd like to know your opinions and experiences? There's so many makes and models upgrades for instance the vx performance inlet, lexmaul, maztel what would be best also manifolds 421 or 4,1 and what makes what problems, also I'm having the engine rebuild what internals could I swap out for, for more bhp? Thanks for reading

Yes this is true! Would be good to see some successful ones done but then that's getting to big money.

Turbo is abit much atm, may be a good project for the future, erm was just looking for little gains tbh, the reason For engine rebuild is piston rings gone and was thinking what I could do while it's apart lightened flywheel maybe better crank wanted to get around 160 bhp nothing too major lol will save that for the civic

160bhp is achievable on the standard head.
