I have these on my corsa, since 1999



Just these and a remap, without any further engine modifications, will take you up to 132-135 bhp (if ur engine is the X16XE one).

Nice buy Rob although judging by DimDG respone you'd just be better off with the Mantzel/Lexmaul/LM Styling Box

You wouldn't see 132-135bhp with an inlet alone though.

I'd bet your bottom dollar you wouldnt get that stock as this looks a VERY similar setup as the Dlibas throttle body set up does it not?

Yes he would, I had seen 132 bhp on mine just with these and the steinmetz remapping.
Keep in mind these are throttle bodies just like jenvey for example, the difference is that they are more restricted since they have the plenum above.

Rich will win only due the drag causing the rust to disintergrate thus creating speed holes and weight loss at the same time

Sorry, we mean different things, I mean a Lexmaul/Mantzel inlet manifold.

I agree, you will see that power with the Dbilas/Stienmetz throttle bodies, but not a Mantzel box/Lemxaul manifold alone.

Patricks 1.6 tuned by regal has this setup and I dont think it'll make the power without cams and a raised rev limit. Patricks had the Dlibas throttle body set up, headwork, cams, chip with raised rev limit, manifold, full exhaust and only made 150ish bhp.

So I can't see 135bhp out of the box on stock management personally

With re-mapping 132-135bhp is completely possible. I had seen it in my car, with std management, just had it remapped by Steinmetz.
With headwork and cams (reprofiled originals, not aftermarket ones) I had personally seen 145bhp.

ditch the shitty manifold they are on, and use one of the new Vsport 30 degree inlet manifolds, then get rid of the plenum, fit some trumpets and some management and you have a very good tb setup.

fitted a few of the dbilas tb kits now, they are good quality but need a few tweeks and some management and they will show very good gains!
