after my annoyance on keeping 1.6 16v or go to 2.0 has been solved my car is now booked in to have torque-tube/arp rod bolts/unichip/decat/and head work done at velos for my 1.6 16v costing 1400 quid all in

it already has 4branch/zorst/filter so power should hike upto 140 bhp if im lucky

i started off with bodywork cause the 1.6 seemed nippy, but now it seems slow so i'm getting it tuned.

Agree but 1.6 GSI with NOS will rape 2.0lt and costs less than both!!

Although NOS is only an acceleration boost so if your after top end then go with the 2.0 mate!!

If i started off with a 1.6 i'd tune that but i have a 1.4 so i'm probably gonna go down the 2litre route.

I'm gonna put a V16 18000cc 64valve twin-turbo locomotive engine in my Corsa. It's gonna be sick! Spoken to GM, they reckon it'll JUST fit in, as long as I mount it long ways, smash out the front bar, cut the passenger seats in half and move them to the side. They said that I may have some torque problems though, something about the car "twisting itself like a drill bit". Dunno what they meant by that? I'm hoping for 40000BHP. Do you think I'll need to upgrade my brakes?

Hehehehehehe!
