What To Do?

[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

your car mate up to u,

same turbo it, u see da odd gsi turbo, not as much as a 2.0l 8v turbo or c20let but turbo the 1.6! ! ! f**k me would that be a lil pocket rocket lol

[CJ-Corsa]

Going to think about the turbo boys

Cheers for the idea.

no probs mate, let us know how u get on ! ! !

[CJ-Corsa]

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

sounds bloody exspensive, u could get a rebuilt c20let all fited and down properly for that money, did u go to dbilas by chance? lol

[CJ-Corsa]

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.

[smoothsebsta]

yh throttle bodies are a gr8 root to go down, summink i wanna do wen i get them money lol. dbilas are too exspensive and alot of people i kno who have got there inlet manifolds dnt greatly rate them either.

[CJ-Corsa]

Myt g down the throttle bodies root my cousin had some on his nova sound awesome aswell.

Cheers
