OH cora ?

Any one know if a corsa 1.6 turbo could do 140mph and obtain 207bhp figure.

Theirs a debate on another forum and I could see the bhp is posible but not sure on gearing:confused:

[Spudly]

Speed easily, bhp figure no way not without serious internal mods and unreliability issues!

[Bubba]

is that RR bhp or "theory" bhp with mods?

[keithrg]

cant answer that sorry. I know you can push out that sort of bhp from a 1.6cvh.

i went in a 1.4 gls 8v mpi 5 door and topped 130 back from sheffield ringing its neck and that was standard will be same as the nova 1.4 sri motor very nippy things

300bhp from a 1600 8v has been achieved. Tbh if a 2.0 is good for 6 or 700bhp, a 1600 smallblock is good for 450 I'd imagine. However the power delivery would be so peaky a 2.0 would make more sense.

Anything is possible with a big enough budget however.

my 16 cvh s2 rs saw 220 at wheels at art engineers in wakefield but sadly topped out at 140

[craig green]

Much of top speed is based on gearing & aerodynamics.
Neither of which contribute much about an engines pure potential.

[keithrg]

Thats what i was thinking the gearing was more an issue.

its possible, but it must have cost a lot of money.

there is a guy on the dutch opel forum who pulled 205/210 hp out a c20ne with eaton m64 compressor.

Both yes & yes. I know wheres theres an N/A 1.4 16v running a proven 202bhp for sale at present.

[Ash]

I'm sure theres an 'off the shelf' turbo kit for a 1.6 16v claiming 220bhp. I'll go digging.... can get the same power N/A too :D

Lets not rule out a quiaf box too.
