corsa b 1.4 16v engine mods

Post by lukeevangelou »

Alright guys and girls?

As some of you may know, I have acquired a corsa b 1.4 16v engine and gearbox, it includes the ecu etc.

As I'm gonna rebuild it before fitting, I wanna know all the performance parts that are available for the engine?

I mean all replacement performance parts, no turbos or cars and poo like that,

Thanks guys :)

Cams do you mean and not 'cars'?

Cams would be a good way forward, as you won't get massive improvement from external engine mods.

If it were me, cams, full exhaust system inc 4branch, a good enclosed air intake system and after those are fitted get the engine mapped to get the best out of that combination

That's exactly what I mean haha, thanks for the reply bud!

Is there anything like lighter flywheels and close ratio gearboxes?

Literally anything to utilise the cars power without forced induction like a turbo

Yea you can do that, but that doesn't get more power.

I'm not too hot on corsa gearboxes, but the nova sr/SRi used an F13CR box

You can take your existing flywheel to an engineering shop and get it lightened and balanced.
