nova ecotec

[mattecogsi]

just wondering how much increase bhp . i would get if i fitted a throttle body to a 1.8 16v ecotec nova its off ebay but it says 3-5bhp increase but i thought you got at least 22bhp is this right amount for that engine or what.i will post pics as soon as ive made 15 posts png rules.:thumb:

is it just a direct replacement throttle body?i think your getting mixed up with the throttle body kits(from the likes of sbd etc)the kits use a throttle body on each cylinder and come up second hand for roughly ?1000+

[mattecogsi]

its just for one body so no its not a kit didnt know there was 1 for each cylinder ill leave well alone then cheers anyway

the later astras suffered from the steep rise in insurace premuims the late 80s/early 90s so vauxhall removed the 2.0l engine ad fitted a more insurance friendly 1800
