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:

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

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

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

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

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