    Vehicle : Insignia CDTi SRi NAV 160

    Trim : SRi

    Engine : A20DTH

    Year : 2009

    Mileage : 88000

    Default 1.8 and 260bhp !!!!! Look out CDTI's V6's!!!

    Thought that would get you to look at my post.

    Been doing some research on improving my 1.8. Someone suggested posting on the Corsa website as they do a lot with their 1.8s.

    Well they do, turbos, inlet/outlet manifolds, cams and loads more.
    Told I should be able to get 260 bhp if I spend loads of cash.

    Anyways was not looking at massive increases just a bit of a tweak to complement the twin exhaust and K and N Cone.

    So I have spoken to Thorney Motorsports and they are going to have a look later in the month 29th I think. Will post back my results then. Now where did I put that Twin Turbo kit and my spanners oh and what happened to my bank balance

    Kids and Corsas they have more money than sense!

    Why tune it to that level. You would have to rebuild the 1.8 completely if you want reliable power.

    Easy tuning only is the case for a turbo charged engine either petrol or diesel with a simple remap or box.

    Tuning a N/A engine relies on a lot more!

    Isn't that what modding is all about though? Spending cash on something and see it evolve into what you want.
