tuning help needed!!

[kye_corsa]

alrite people i hav a 1998 corsa breeze 1.4 8v with a powerflow cat back exhaust on.

i am after more power bt am unsure what i should do make it faster!!

a would be pleased if people could shed sum light for me??

Tbh it only started with 59hp so there aint much hope im afraid. Derestricting you airbox, fitting a new panel filter and lightening the car will help but u aint gonna get much gain. If you want more performance then engine swaps are the way to go but obv these are pricey and make ur insurance rocket upwards lol

[kye_corsa]

hmmm wel thats a kick to the crotch lol. is there nothin lik uprated cams or somthing? or is that just throwing my money away? also i have heard of people of people putting throttle bodies off bikes onto their cars, is there much of a power gain from thm or is it just a cheaper alternative to getting the propper ones for the car?

your best bet is first to find you engine code and go from there cuz 1 1.4 8v engine is alot better then the other two.

theres not really much you can do that will be cost effective
the money it would cost for throttle bodies u might aswell get a gsi or 1.6 sport and do somting to that or buy a 2 litre

Too true! If you want a fast car, buy a fast car!
Don't try and make a slow car fast because it'll cost your far in excess of what buying a faster car to start with will.

yea thanks for the advice like. so lets say i wanted to put a 1.6 in it iz it a big job? and wat sort of costs would i be lookin at for a conversion?

[roperstun]

sell your car and buy a 1.6 corsa much easier and proberly cheaper

hmmm a think a mite jst leave the tuning till a cn afford a faster car. nd work on the body work just means i will be slow enough for people to get a gud luk at the car lol. chears lads
