StuartyAlec Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 My friend has a 1.0 corsa.Started life with 57bhp.He then gave it a induction kit and a remap.The results he got were phenomonal!He managed to acheive 106bhp!!Now he can take 1.6 focuses etc!Just wondering if anyone has any idea if a 1.0 8v can acheive any good power results!I know people are gonna say *buy a new car* + *do an engine conversion*.But just wondering what the 1.0 lump can do?because i dont think many people have tuned the 1.0???

JamesTdi Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 HAHAHAHA no.Seriosuly, those 1.0 3 pot engines are utter cr@p. I'd like to see the figure sheet from that corsa because I think your mate is chatting poo On a serious note, don't bother! Save the dollor on making it look good because not matter what you do, you will not gain much power from a 1.0... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADZ Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 50+ bhp just from an induction kit? I'd think 10 would be a push, especially on a 1.0 corsa, but seriously, low & slo ftw broooo!and the gti kit won't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naif Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 A 1.0 Corsa (I'm guessing it's a C) would never reach that figure without extensive mods like forced induction, forged internals etcetcA 1.2 C with epic amounts spent on it only achieved around 110, still nowhere near a standard 1.8 CSo basically, your friend chats total cow pat and races granny's in their Focus'.

jonnykell1980 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 the 1.6 focus isnt a quick car and will probably be a heavier car. therefore the power to weight wont be great. meaning i lighter car with less power may have a close power to weight ratio and be able to keep up with them. but that bhp figure is rubbish ask to see the rolling road sheet and if hes got one saying that, they need to get it calibrated.

scotty_82 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I love pub bragging threads, what did the micra k10 superturbo make as standard , im sure that wasn't that far over 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartyAlec Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thought the gti kit did fit the standard lupo if you have the whole side one piece aswell??So theres no way to make the little loop more nippy?=[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 The gti doesn't have a "kit" If your wanting the car to go quicker then make it lighter, cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartyAlec Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 As aforementioned Jamestdi said to make the car look better.I said i've managed to get a gti kit!Front bumperRear bumperand the sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 The sides as in the whole side of the car?You'll basically need to cut most of the car away and get them welded in on a jig to make sure its all square , thats one hell of a job just to get a gti look-a-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Litre Screamer Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 A stock 1.0 AUC engine with air filter, cam and remap will see you with 65bhp at the flywheel. Adding ITB's take it to 78bhp. Thats the most the standard porting and valves can handle, it's not impossible to get over 100bhp from the 1 litre but it takes alot of cash and time, plus a few destroyed motors to find what works and doesnt. As for the Corsa and its power gain from the air filter, read above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Had this discussion with Daren before when I had the 1.0 Arosa.As there are no tuning products avsailable off the shelf, it would mean a lot of custom made\engineered tuning parts which will take money.Lightened flywheel and crank, ported and polished head, performance cam, carbs(?) air intake and exhaust and a remap to make the most of it. Done all of this on my Hillman Imps, apart from the remap, back in the "early years", but then a lot more kit was available off the shelf and the engine was simpler.I bought a GTI instead, but I would really love to see someone take a 1.0 and spend the time and moey to see what it can do....as for the GTI "kit" that would be front bumper: 2 parts, front wings, rear wings, sills, spoiler and possibly the bonnet. So you got a bargain for £50!I'm assuming you've purchased a Reiger kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Erm.......... I did search for your thread as I wasn't 100% on what you had done, but the new board software hides posts past a certain age.Dig it out and resurrect it If one had all the internals sorted, what would be the chances of getting one of the cargers off a small jap engined car to work?

With a modified compression ratio of 11.2 to 1 after skimming it means the turbo doesnt have to have a lot of boost, just a few psi to help things along.As for my build thread, the link is below but not much has happened on it recently as I have started a new job, it will soon happen though as the boss has set a space aside for me to take it to work.My Build Thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've moved your build thread to the project cars section of the forum, hopefully we won't lose it again in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
