no point in putting tb's on an sxi. its only a 1.2 engine so there no real power gains available. wouldnt think the cams are available either
they might do some cams for the 1.8 sri engine but the sxi aint designed for tuning!

That diblas tat is wank (in my opinion)
For the cost of getting TB's and cams (and the rest to run at all safely!!! Head parts, ECU)
your going to be looking at the best part of 2.5k
Your ins will shoot up......
so..... pop a 1.6 16v or a 2.0 16v in and then use that as a starting block

no point even trying to put in a 1.6 mate will take as many ££££ to put that i as it would a bigger engine.

106/109bhp..... but best bet would be the newer 106 version....
the 2.0 isnt as bad as folk who have never driven one say it s....
But.... what folk are getting at IS....
You have a C, the engines are cheap to fir to a B, not a C.... it will be expensive
Im not sure how much more etc etc

Its not machining the parts which is the problem, its due to the electrics IIRC.

yeah electrics are a nightmare, the corsa C's wiring is a bit of a nightmare, multiple isgnals are sent down single wires instead of multiple wires, its a very expensive conversion
Corsa B can be done for = 1500 DIY or £3000 by cossvaux etc
Corsa C will be ABOUT = 5000-6000 i would have thought Dont even attempt it ya self lol
