Still no change!

Post by Syn »

I posted about my 1.4 corsa b, running a bit slow off the line and between gear changes

So far ive replaced.. Air filter, Oil, K-seal on the engine coolant leak, Redex the engine, new exhaust (mid and back)

What else can i do to get this car back to the way it was 10months ago?!

It used to smoke 1.6vtrs and most 1.4s it came accross, but since i bought it and finally passed my test its just a pile of crap now

Only thing left in my mind is remap..

Please give and advice you can to increase top end and mostly acceleration!

Cheers

you canot map a standard ecu for a 1.4 corsa, an there is no way that your 1.4 corsa will smoke a saxo vts. A 2.0 16v corsa is a very good match for a 106 gti which run the same engine as a vts, so it very unlikley that you 1.4 corsa will smoke a vts, it probaly running just fine an maybe not as quick as you think 8)

remeber, corsa's are econmy cars, not racing machines, they arnt built to be fast they are built to be reliable,
id say you beat a saxo anyday by defaultm as saxos are rubbish lol

but ether a new engine or a full rebuild best way to go
