i\'ve had my \'94 1.4 SRi for over a year but never really new if it is 8v or 16v? it doesn\'t say anywhere, not even in the paperwork. Does anyone know how i can find out??? goes like stink for a 1.4 though!!

top of engine has
spark plugs in the middle ? 16v
spark plugs on front of engine 8v

here r some pics of my engine..... think it\'s a 8v then?????

is it????

sure is m8 8v

i\'ve heard different opinions on the 8v/16v what do u lot think???

Both are good engines in there own rights
ultimate performance high revs 16v
good performance good torque and economy 8v

i got a 1.6 16v sport and goes like s*it hahha

until 2day i thought mine was a 16v cuz of the speed?! my mate had the same car as me on an L plate(mine\'s on an M) and my car seemed quicker than his. i\'ve had passengers in my car amazed at the speed of the thing. One lad with a 1.8 bmw said my car would piss on his
From the performance of the 1.4\'s i should think your 1.6 goes well!

yeh it does, ive had it remapped aswell so running bout 118 bhp, i love doing over bmws, can do alot of the mark up to about 2.0 litre after that they beat me ha.but most corsas dont expect a 1.6 sport so quite funny when they race me

yea i got the sport 1.4 16v they rev really good tbh but in 5th seems 2 be dead,raced a calibra n wiped the floor with it las nite

Mine 1.4 16v sport is chipped, and its feckin slow!

mines an M reg though? (SRi rather than sport) i always reckon that the older cars were faster than the newer versions.

the 1994 1.4 sri was 8v, same engine as mine (Currently!)
The 16 v engine has the big rocker cover for the DOHC (Double overhead cam, bits for the other 8 values )

for a light car its pretty good at approx 82 ish BHP
better than the standard 52(?) ish BHP of a normal 1.4

have fun just remember to use that higher rev range but not right at the top as it goes pretty flat on the old torque, Ive driven a 1.6 corsa B and didn\'t honestly feel a massive difference, but on a motor that\'s about 11 years old it can vary from car to car, depends how well looked after it is ... Mileage etc

i kno sum peeps mite say the x14xe 16v is slow ut its good enuff 2 beat a vtr,but it feels slow 2 me know,thats why im gna let the corsa
