yo guys, as i cant fit my 2.0 just yet might as well make my x14xe bit quicker an probably get some money back on the engine when i sell it later this year. im thinking of a inlet manifold followed by a remap?

what are these like?
clicky

1.6's are suposed to get good gains from there duno about 1.4's aint seen any with them.

You want a live map, not a remap.

A remap is just a standard map of the engine but a performance version o fit.

A live map will involve tuning the car whilst it's on the rollers to take into effect the inlet manifold.

I'm designing an inlet manifold for the Z14XEP, although i'm sure it can be adapted to fit other models
15bhp would be a good gain with a mani and map

Vauxhall were surpised with the performance they got out of the 1.6 engines, so a restrictive manifold was fitted, basically to stop them out performing some of the astras. This is why the gains are so impressive and they are so popular.
