Hello to all.

I am new to the corsa scene once again, i've had my fair share of nova turbo's, corsa xe's sri's etc in the past, but this time i've settled for a corsa sport 1.6 16v, to say the least I love the car to bits. its quick on the acceleration and turns heads around town, but.... my question is how can I (without swaping it for any other engine) get it to around 120/130bhp? I am aiming for this sort of figure because my brother-in-law just had his pug 205 R/road'ed and produced 119bhp and claims the corsa engine without extentsive modifications wouldnt get near this.

So what mods would I or could I do to get it to 120-130bhp?

Regards
Rob.

The good old powerbox-style inlet manifold, paired up with a tubular exhaust manifold, decat & full exhaust should do the trick.

On the exhaust side of things, you could get away with just a decat and replacing the back box with something a little more free-flowing, as the centre silencer isnt too bad.
