Re: 1.6 gsi engine and aftermarket ecu
Is there any other 1.6 engine that could be used?

And how is the gsi better than the other 1.6? Better compression etc?

Yeah think it's 2 or 3 horsies moreDomwhitex wrote:More horsepower
Also you don't get aftermarket ecu's for these without going standalone and that costs mucho ££££
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Ahh 2 or 3 bhp isnt worth the extra price people will ask for a gsi engine

From what i've read it seems that way and without bigger brakes and other stuff i think the 2.0 is abit much for daily use in the corsa

Re: 1.6 gsi engine and aftermarket ecu
The redtop isn't that bad as a daily but its just the price of it ain't cheap tbh but for the 1.6 conversion i would proberly use a tigra one as u can use stuff u want and sell what u dont
If it ain't green and black send it back

Re: 1.6 gsi engine and aftermarket ecu
if you going for a redtop you need bigger driveshafts also seam weld the engine bay and engine mount brackets as they slightly different 1.6 goes straight in as i did this on my previous one
