Thinking of getting my corsa sport 1.6 mapped/chipped. As it has pretty much everything I wanna do to it engine wise.
The mods it has are.
DE-restricted and drilled airbox.
K&n panel filter.
Powerbox inlet.
4-2-1 manifold.
De cat
Catback.
I have no idea how much bhp the car has now.but was looking at getting it mapped/chipped to get the most from the mods.
What possibilities do I have? And would it be worth doing? Cheers lads.

Probably not much tbh,
So unless its mega cheap, i personally woudn't bother. But if you can afford it and want to do it, go for it

Is this chip just a complete waste of time?

Something like unichip is what you want so you can have it live mapped to suit your mods

How much would I be looking for cams? Was thinking arp bolts too. Think it's more fitting labour that will kill me.

Get the ARP rod bolts, a set of re-profiled cams from Autosprint. The go to Millway in Andover which is pretty close.

Which should make it pretty nippy.

Are those autosprint cams any good? Never heard of them before they seem cheap compared to the rest of them like piper and that

I've brought stuff off him before, and it all seemed ok. Some say his head work isn't up to much.
Just found these on ebay.

MSD in blackpool do rolling road mapping for a standard ECU.
Can't remember how much it is though. Maybe worth a call.
