Just wondering something. I have a Vauxhall Corsa Sport 1.4 16V (1996). Being only nearly 19 I was wondering whether tuning a the existing engine is a good alternative.
How quick 0-60 do you reckon I could get the car with a 1.4 16V engine? Using what tuning bit e.t.c?
The Mantzel powerbox looks tasty claiming to add up to 20bhp but it is £500ish!. Could chip it as well. Full system exhaust e.t.c.
Wanna piss all over both my mates Ford Fiesta Zetec S.

Get the 1.6 and littie tunning on that ( or 2.0 16v if u can afford to )
Or if i am not worng:
Get it:
Gas flow and ported
skimmed head
Better uprated pisstons
And Twin 40's or Twin 45's
I think that ! sud get u 100-110 BHP on 1.4SRI 16V
And i think it was 130-140 on a 1.6.
I was told!

You want to come and watch it?
Why would I say it if it wasnt?
The word Twa* comes to mind.
You have to bear in mind the Si is a fair bit older than my sport.
His Si is M reg mine is '98 S.
I honestly didnt think I would be quicker above 60ish but gained on him and he said he was, as he says, "raggin the tits off it!"
Bye Bye Si

yeah the zetec-s's are quicker than the Si's.
The Si has a fair bit of mileage on it.
Zetec-s would leave me well behind.
I was just giving it as an example.
