hi was wondering the best modifications for the car and how much it would cost each part? and the total BHP i will be pushing after the mods, and if possible how much BHP each mod will add, so i can break it down myself and get it fitted one by one as i only save like £700 a month and its goin towards my corsa, any advice, im new to cars so dong get too in depth haha, many thanks barry

As everyone will tellyou,
Get a
mantzel inlet 300( but go for a replica for around the 120 mark BHP gain 10 bhpish
Upgrade you exhaust manifold 150 ish
Also upgrade the rest of the exhaust system for better flow, 150ish
A good cold air fed induction system 100ish
there the main things you need without going into detail and complicating things expected brake improvement would be 20bhp at a push

get the 1.6 bottom end and ecu( i think)
Theres abit of confusion over people running the 1.4 ecu or the 1.6 ecu, people are doing both and have different opinions, but yes the 1.6 will bolt straight on no probs

i suppose, either way its an engine out
just gettin the bottom end tho you know that the stuff that your running at the moment is sweet, if its a whole engine, it could lead to more problems, plus by getting the bottom end you can inspect it before buying and puting in
