What To Do?

Post by CJ-Corsa »

Just thought I would ask you people what I should do.

Ive got a 1.6 16v valve corsa sport engine and im going to rebuild it....

Should I try and get 200 bhp out of it whilst its out as I am a mechanic

Or

Should I drop the lump straight back into my car its only done 80K

All vote now

Over £4,000 for a turbo for the car that sounds a little expensive?

I no mate could get a c20let and all the bits for bout £1500 and fit in myself as I am a mechanic by trade.

Yeah dbilas where the company lol

Might just rebuild it and try get 150bhp out of it by doing simple mods.

throttle bodies...well worth the money. Everyone has an XE now, and seeing an x16 on TB's is always good!

Thats what i reckon. expensive, but worth the money.
