well not sure if anyone has read my project thread but ive got a corsa b gsi 1993 l reg
so the c16xe engine and my maf sensor had gone any ways found one and having a 4-2-1 branch manifold for it, its a BTB one anyways
i wonder what else i could do to get power gains little spec of engine
pipercross foam induction filter
samco induction hose
hoffman system with no mid silencer
de-cat
then the 4-2-1 manifold
wants a service so that should help
and was also looking at them inlet boxs on ebay that are like £155
any more advice would be good and anyone know what sort of power it would be
cheers

Also on most ford engines the throttle body off a 2.0l Mindel fits on like 1.7l puma engine and few other engines so do any other vauxhaull throttle body's fit ?

Anyways the best mod a budget would be like Jed said, get a powerbox. If you go down that route you could fit a different throttle body, buy you would need to piss about with the sensors on it. I had a ported and polished one on my old X16XE.

No the throttle bodies aren't interchangeable. Jed I got it off Ebay years ago for a tenner, off this bloke who is local to me.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-C20XE-2-0-16v-REDTOP-GASFLOWED-THROTTLE-BODY-/380297727013?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item588b82cc25
Mine had a 4-1 exhaust manifold, Janspeed cat back, VX inlet along with the throttle body it made 108 BHP at the wheel.

Yep 1.6. It made 108 at the fly, before the mods.
It was in T.V both times.
