will putting a 1.2 throttle body and injector in my 3pot give me a lil more poke? even if it is just a little bit. i would also like it to pop a little bit more because i have an aftermarket exhaust on it and it pops but only when its really hot so i wondered if the 1.2 parts would help it a little bit more? cheers

No parts from bigger engine'd Corsa's will work that way with a 12v as far as I know. They're impossible to tune.

In theory increasing airflow will increase power but will it be noticeable, no, is it worth while, no.

iv heard the 1.2 throttle body works well on the 1.0l like


cant see it making it faster at all but it may give it sharper throttle response but at the end of the day its still a 1.0l, cant have much expectations from it tbf

no but when you put your foot down and it takes half an hour to react, every little helps. tbf tho for a 1.0l there not actually that bad, by all means yeah there slow but for a 1.0l i was surprised

increasing the air flow doesn't necessarily increase the power, more air = more heat = more likely to melt a piston haha

If youve got the spare cash stick it to one side. Then when you have enough, stick a bigger engine in.

Insurance wouldnt stay low as you would have to declare your engine swop. Being that if you dont. We are the ones that pay the extra and its cunts like that who make our insurance premiums fucking sky high
