its got a 1.6 wait for it Nova GSi engine thats a 1.6 8v engine. but one thig have been wounderin about it is that if you juct slam your foot to the floor it accelerated quite normally. but if you put it half wayis quite gently and then when it get over half revs about 4500 you just nail it, it takes off as if its turboed and the boost just kicked in. its really notice able and i mean really. a mate suggested that it could have performance cams in. but is it just a strange caracteristic of the engine. its runnin with corsa sri short ratio gearbox, corsa fuel pump, corsa fuel rail and injecters. the fuel rail fitted better if the corsa pipes and the nova injecters were bloked and the corsa ones seemed to be bigger anyway.
