1.4 corsa power help

Post by junior-assassin »

hi i have just bought a 93 1.4 corsa ls, the acceleration is ok spot on but icant get her over 90 mph, i think she is just a 1.4 it doesnt say anything on the log book about it being a 8 valver or 16 valver, am at a loss to what it is , im not expecting 130+ ect but up near a 100 + would be a start. any ideas?

if its a 93 it will be a 1.4i 8v LS they didnt make a 16v 1.4 LS

they had a top speed of 96 so assuming ur engine has lost some power since 1993 that will be why :(
and the automatic modle was only 90mph top speed

on the plus side it had a high torque engine, altho im not excly sure how much torque it had more than the merrit or the flair
the only other 1.4i 8v was the SRI n that has 90bhp engine.
