lol you mean how do I fit a 1.4 16V and then cheat in a race series..... awesome.

[novahotrod]

nar i mean i already have quite a godd legal group a hotrod with a 1400 8v in it soo how do i make my new corsa 1400 16v faster thanks mate.

u might cheat but i dont need too pal

[Stuart]

I dont cheat, but its painfully obvious when people come on saying "how do I mod this but not have it detectable" that they are eitehr cheating in a race series or are cheating insurance.

What do the series rules allow you to do to the engines?

[novahotrod]

goup a's i run a stock rod cos aite there a lil less spec but are quite competitve

an my corsa is a road car can run how i like!!!!

u race then???

[Stuart]

can the text typing....

no I dont race, too much effort in my book.

I'm sure you can search and find some mods to do to the 1.4/1.6 engine that you can get away without insuring...... I for one wont indicate any to you though.

[novahotrod]

i will insure them but want my car to look stanard i.e no big intercoolers or turbos as this looks boyracer and i have been there and done that!!!!

Headwork, cams, management, ARP's. Would seem invisible when looking in the engine bay, but obviously need to be declared to your insurance and/or racing governing body.

Going further, add some throttle bodies, or a turbo kit. Intercoolers can be concealed pretty well when you sit down and think about it.

Going further still, a good rebuild, de-seamed shot peened rods etc.. and nitrous oxide. As far as I'm aware, nitrous oxide is illegal to use on public roads in the UK though.

to keep it basic get rid of the restrictive inlet design and get a mantzel/lexmal/dbilas inlet system, 4-2-1 manifold, cams, arp rod bolts and a remap.

[staggy_gsi]

as above mate, the inlet design on the 1.4/1.6 XE's is very restrictive and you should see considerable gains by fitting an aftermarket system.

[novahotrod]

cheers boys were is the best place for a re map and too get the inlet systems???

[novahotrod]

does anyone no were too get a new inlet system from???

[Stuart]

jesus you are far from patient lol.

you could get a diblas manifold from regal but they are a rip off imho as are remaps but hey.

best off keeping an eye on ebay

[novahotrod]

nar couldnt see the first post so did it again and they both came up lol
