Nope, because the 1.0L is a 3 cylinder, and 1.2/1.4's are 4 cylinder.

Not without much difficulty no. The cams are completely different due to the 1l being a 3 cylinder engine and the rest 4.
Honest advice, as most people on here will give is to stick with it for a year or two until you can afford to buy/run/insure a larger engined car or indeed get a larger engine in your own car.
By comparison yes you can get tuning parts for the one litre but for the sort of mone it would cost to gain some 10bhp you could have a 1.6/2.0 conversion...
I had a 1l Corsa C for my first car, and it wasn't a bad car or bad engine, for what it was. Stick with it, it does the job and gets you from A to B reliably.

I think you can get about an extra 20bhp out of them quite easily.
If you have about a grand to waste.

Someone on a fiat forum was tuning a 1.0L I think. A cinquecento(sp) or similair, they were doing the work themselves just to see if it could be done. Think it ended up with a turbo and 100bhp+, I'll try find it.

For the amount of money that you would spend tuning a 1 litre you would be better saving it for another car with a bigger engine or engine transplant. Even when you think about an extra 20bhp your still onl going to have 65bhp not worth it for the money you would have to throw into it not to mention the aggro.

Put a 10lb gas bottle in your boot, fill it with nitrous oxide, plump it up to a solenoid valve, plumb that into a flogger injector, take a fuel line tap to another solenoid valve, hook that up to the injector, wire up solenoids to a master arm switch and a throttle body switch, then you will be able to add power to a 1.0l

I thought the 1L was 45bhp also, either way at the end of the day you cant really make big performance mods to a 1L unless of course you have a spare couple of thousand

To get a gain of about 20bhp, you will be spending about £1k. However, that increase is according to Regal magazine figures, so expect less.
They will take a turbo, which is popular in Brazil for some reason. Look on YouTube.

Its the 1 litre four cylinders that they turbo, which we don't get here.
