1.4 16v

[ANDYRACER]

Hi i am after getting a 1.4 16v engine (corsa sport engine). Could any1 tell me what price a good average miles one goes for? Also i know they are very tuneable so would want to tune it but can't afford throttle bodies plus i hear they need to be set up alot? So im looking at about 120 bhp and want to know what i need to do to the engine to get this sort of power? I may consider throttle bodies but i need sum good points in y to spend that sort of money on them? Plus i know there is some on novas with these engines in but can't find them a link would be very helpfull. thx

do u know what section its in and wat name its under thx

[Snowface]

don't think he's got it featured.

its under "Sports"

cps run around 160-170bhp but was very high spec (like 4 or 5G's worth)

a mantzel powerbox and unichip will see around 20-30% increase and wont cost quite as much as the TB's

That's my feature on my nova. power is unkn as it's not been RR'd yet, but around the 130-135region. If you want 120bhp, then a powerbox ir similar and a tubular exhaust manifold should get to there easily.
Good luck with it, did you manage to get hold of the chip and transponder unit too?

Say i went with throttle bodies would my fuel consumptution be shit and do they need to be regularly set-up

It depends how you drive, but if you are sensible and cruise on the motorway you can get 300 out of a tank, and if you thrash the f**k out of it everywhere can be down to 100miles on a tank.

they need setting up once, that's it. They should be fine after that and not need any other work on them.
