Engine parts for a corsa 1.2 8v performance only e.g Dibas or Lexmaul inlet , Opel gsi grill front top strurt brace open to anything else that might have an interest to me so try me!

Dbilas on a 1.2 8v? :shocked:

 

[Lukejohn94]

I'm not 100% sure if there is even a part for a 1.2 8v lol! Someone said there is so thought f**k it ill ask if anyone has one for sale haha!

 

[Sparkyxo]

There isn't. And even if there was, why tune a 1.2 8v?

That's not an inlet manifold. It's a carb kit.

There's very little point trying to tune these engines.
Only thing you can do to make it any faster is keep it well serviced and strip weight out.

Ermm insurance, not enough driving experience which I can admit too, if I had a c20xe or something I'd be like power!!! And crash tbh so wanna stay to a 1.2 8v for bit longer and just have a muck around with an engine if it goes bang there cheaper to replace and fit than a c20xe or another engine

 

[Lukejohn94]

Ohh I've miss read it completely the one I saw was for a 16v not an 8v ( http://www.dbilas-shop.com/Products...A-Astra-G-Corsa-B-1-2-16V-48kW-X12XE::65.html

Got a camshaft from a nova gsi looking for £40 though as It means removing it from my engine lol

 

[Matthew]

i know it may sound odd but declaring a bigger engine is normally cheaper than declaring mods to a standard small powered engine

 

[Lukejohn94]

I maybe interested in the camshaft, yeah I know but i don't reckon I'll be able to handle a bigger engine atm and don't wanna kill myself lol

Going from a 1.2 8v to a C20XE/LET is a massive jump, the 8v is almost as slow as my 1.0

The 1.2 8v is slower than the 1.0.

 

[Lukejohn94]

Really wouldn't surprise me haha if it was slower than the 1.0, it's doing me fine atm getting me to work and back cheap on petrol too maybe 2-3months ill go to a 1.6, but want to an engine swap as the shell on this is mint and just recently had all scratches,dents and rust done oh and all underneath re-sprayed with the oil base stuff (can't remember at the top of my head)

 

[DanDrury]

9 times out of 10 it's cheaper to buy a 1.6 sport than converting as insurers tend not to like insuring modified cars with young drivers.

 

[small9918]

[Lukejohn94]

[small9918]
