The 1.0 12v has about 54bhp so ye they do which is stupid considering the 1.2 is a bigger engine but i no Vauxhall restricted the bhp on this engine in the corsa compared to the nova :(

The 1.0 has more power due to it being a twin cam whereas the the 8v is single cam

But the 8v is more tunable the 1.0 so with a better cam, unrestricted inlet with a good free flow manifold and exhaust the 1.2 8v will make more power than the 1.0 and 1.2 16v depending on what you used
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I think all 8v cams are a straight swap I can't remember which one gives the best gains though, think it's a nova gsi cam
