Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

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

stick another lump in it mate, the amount of money u could spend and wot u already spent like exhaust etc u couldve put towards another engine, just an idea! ! ! ! or like u say get it mapped or chipped

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

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

I never said vts

i said vtr but forgot the lil ` button

vtr`s =]

its going into the garage friday to see whats wrong with it, the car is definatley bogging

hopefully things will be back to it lacing a corsa 1.2sxi C

if not to the scap yard it goes ^^

first, how is your clutch control,second, service ur car,third,clean out your EGR valve, if its still not right, check your timing.
