the good old 1.2 spi engine

[corsa-xe1]

i have just brought a corsa 1.2 spi for the misses as a first car, jesus its slow

i have heard that they can be tuned a little?

a 1.6 inlet,1.8 carb and 1.4 injector? is that true?

also would a 4 branch help?:thumb:

read the gude in how to section, realise its pointless, buy an xe and some gsi bits. become a sheep. job done lol

[corsa-xe1]

lol i have a corsa xe but the misses needs a car with a small engine in as its he first one, i just wanted to give her a little more power!!

[Sloth]

pointless, if ya really wanna bother, fit the mpi head and efi setup off a sri, or fit a c16se, thats a good trick, they like that.

[corsa-xe1]

well she wont let me change engine!

so how about a 1.4 sri head and inlet? mpi

will it be a stright bolt on?

[Sloth]

grenade her lump, then fit it.... (nick the cambelt with a knife...)

[Dirtydog1]

bolt the inlet and exhaust manifold from the 1.4 mpi and wire up the running gear.you wont have to take the head off.

Get a 1.4 SR cam, decent final drive in the gearbox and leave it.

It wont run on that:tard:
So your allowed to remove the head and all that bollox but not a full engine:wtf:
Just leave it as it is.Its a 1st car.Gain experience and no clams then go faster

[jimbob-mcgrew]

your best bets prob gonna be slapping a 1.2 carb top half on it (head, inlet and 1b), will gain u 9/10 brake. but even still, its not worth it, the corsa shell is heavier than the nova so its still gonna be slow as. plus its a bit of a downgrade on the economy front.

lol might bolt a c14se in there when shes not lookin!!
